Le Petit Meunier sur Messimy

A stunning place…both for its cuisine and its surroundings…perfect for couples or groups to share a wonderful time in this enchanting setting…✨✨✨

The only slight problem is the high prices, and a single dish costs 60 euros for Easter. Otherwise, the setting is magnificent with its little river.

The environment is very pleasant and the food is excellent!

A somewhat mixed experience... The appetizers were unremarkable. Then the starters and main courses were absolutely delicious. But for dessert: a pavlova that really lacked lightness. The welcome and service were very good; thank you for the little candle after mentioning a birthday when booking online. In the end, quite expensive and a bit overrated.

We had a very good meal, the service was impeccable, and it was a feast for the eyes before the taste buds. The renovation is beautiful and well thought out; when the restaurant is full, the ambient noise is a little bothersome, and the single toilet is a bit cramped for one person.

A beautiful setting that makes you want to cast a line from the outdoor tables. The cuisine is elegant and gourmet, but the slightly undercooked Easter lamb and the lack of wine pairings prevent me from giving it 5/5.

We had been wanting to discover Le Petit Meunier for some time, and we chose this magnificent setting to celebrate our civil partnership. What a wonderful experience! Located just 20-25 minutes from Lyon, the restaurant offers a timeless escape. The place is superb: a modern and refined decor that has retained its soul by incorporating the famous mill inside, giving the room a truly unique character. We opted for the Prestige package, and it was an absolute delight from beginning to end. A huge thank you to chefs Laurence and Jérôme Gagneux, as well as the entire team in the dining room and kitchen, for their warm welcome. We were particularly touched by the attention paid to our event, with the complimentary glasses of champagne offered to celebrate our union. An exceptional address that we wholeheartedly recommend for special occasions!

We came to celebrate a special occasion with my sweetheart, and we absolutely loved our time at this restaurant, which we know very well. A truly unique restaurant in Messimy! The new interior design beautifully showcases the iconic windmill that has made the place famous. It strikes a perfect balance between elegance and modernity, without compromising the restaurant's inherent charm: the exposed windmill and the beams running through it. The food was flawless. Two Prestige menus at €62, including a pre-starter, starter, after-dinner ice cream, main course, and dessert: not a single misstep, and even a thoughtful touch for the occasion we were celebrating. A huge congratulations to chefs Jérôme and Laurence Gagneux, as well as their entire team, both in the kitchen and the dining room, for their impeccable service. We had a truly delightful experience at this restaurant and we can't wait to return when the weather is warmer and the outdoor seating is ready. Congratulations again and thank you (special mention to the person who made the salted caramel for the dessert. My mouth is still watering!).

In just a few kilometers, a haven of peace that transports us so far from our daily lives: an exceptional bucolic setting, a simple and attentive welcome and service with staff who are very caring in a relaxed but appropriate professional relationship, and a dish as beautiful to look at as it is delicious to eat!

A warm welcome, refined and delicious dishes, comfort, tranquility, and a soothing decor and surrounding nature—everything comes together for a wonderful experience at a very reasonable price. Remember this address; you won't be disappointed. My only regret is that it's closed on Sundays.
