Takao Takano
Japanese purity meets umami-rich French cooking, two stars
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Takao Takano's 30-cover room is among the most coveted reservations in Lyon — a light, hushed space that mirrors the clarity of his food. Two Michelin stars for a French kitchen read through a Japanese sensibility: lightness, precision, umami, nothing wasted on the plate. The product is impeccable and the restraint is the point.
Editor's Tip
Tiny dining room, single sittings; reserve six to eight weeks ahead. Closed Saturday and Sunday.
