Miraflores sur Lyon

A truly wonderful experience, a culinary journey of discovery, at Miraflores, for a dinner for two. The welcome was perfect. The cuisine, the Machu Picchu menu, is a prime example of successful fusion cuisine, combining typical Peruvian products with the hallmarks of French gastronomy. The dishes are sophisticated, explained, and meaningful—the sauce flowing like the Amazon between two pieces of ceviche, for example, or the highly original dessert featuring both a jelly made from medicinal plants in an incredible blue hue and exceptionally good chocolates made with Peruvian cacao. Eight courses were carefully crafted for this menu, each with its own plate, cutlery, and presentation. Taste, innovation, and artistry were on display, all perfectly balanced to leave the table satisfied but not overindulged. The bread, resembling a brioche, was a success, as was the trompe-l'oeil foie gras and chili butter. It's not as spicy as it is there, it's not ceviche—for example—like they do there, but it's a complete success in terms of fusion cuisine, and it makes you want to go to Peru to try their culinary specialties. The dining room is relatively small, so it's essential to make a reservation and confirm it—communication via email and text message was excellent, no complaints. The small petits fours at the end of the meal, placed on a bed of coffee beans in a very local-style box, perfectly complete a wonderful experience. It's a pleasure to have such an inspired and daring Franco-Peruvian Michelin-starred chef in the capital of gastronomy.

Excellent restaurant, with beautifully prepared, high-quality ingredients. The dishes are explained, and the wine pairings are very well selected. I highly recommend it.

A sublime trip. A special mention for the floral tacos which I loved above all else.

The star is truly deserved! This trip is clearly not for those pseudo-experts in mass tourism, ready to buy a few cheap trinkets at a typical market to impress at social gatherings upon their return. More than just a trip, it's an encounter that beautifully combines all the ingredients of a genuine connection: heart, intelligence, and dialogue. Clearly, the Miraflores spirit embodies a generosity and subtlety that are rare these days. Thank you!

I don't quite understand the recent negative reviews: for us, the staff was incredibly attentive, the atmosphere cozy with discreet but appropriate music. We loved the menu, the flavors, the colors, the textures, and the combinations. Just one small complaint: for several dishes, we were told that the chili pepper had been removed from the original recipe and that "it's not spicy." To better suit European palates, I imagine... A shame, I love spices, I love a bit of a kick!

A magnificent culinary discovery that transported us to the heart of contemporary Peruvian gastronomy. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the restaurant's refined and intimate setting. The atmosphere is elegant, calm, and welcoming, ideal for fully enjoying the experience. The open kitchen immediately catches the eye: impeccably clean, it allows you to admire the team's meticulous work with complete transparency. To start, the Pisco Sour, Peru's iconic cocktail, was perfectly balanced, delicately blending acidity and a touch of sweetness that pleasantly whets the appetite. Among the amuse-bouches, the foie gras butter presented in the shape of a small chili pepper was as surprising as it was delicious, combining visual creativity with rich flavors. The starter, a remarkably fresh ceviche, was enhanced by an unexpected touch: grilled ants adding a crunchy and original note. The pairing with an Argentinian white wine proved particularly successful, highlighting the briny and tangy flavors of the dish. The main course, a slow-cooked duck, was remarkable. The incredibly tender and melt-in-your-mouth meat had no strong or unpleasant flavors, demonstrating impeccable technique. The accompanying Austrian wine was perfectly chosen and enhanced the overall balance. Finally, the dessert brought this gastronomic journey to a beautiful close. Presented as a miniature beach, with a delicate combination of coffee powder and granita, it was as aesthetically pleasing as it was delicious. An original, refined, and memorable culinary experience that I wholeheartedly recommend to those who appreciate gastronomic discoveries and exceptional food and wine pairings.

The dishes were original and well-prepared, but not up to the standard of a Michelin-starred restaurant (especially the desserts) and not worth the price for a Valentine's Day menu. The quality of service and the welcome left much to be desired. I emailed Miraflores the day after my visit to report feeling ill after dining at this restaurant, suspecting gluten in my dishes or some other form of contamination, despite having repeatedly mentioned my intolerance. I received no response from Miraflores to my email. Disappointing for a Michelin-starred establishment.

We enjoyed it from beginning to end, just like the first time.

Excellent welcome, beautiful decor and atmosphere. Excellent cuisine with unusual and innovative flavors.

A wonderful discovery! We went for lunch. A quiet restaurant with Peruvian/Latin music playing in the background. Impeccable service. A cloakroom for bike bags and jackets. A head waiter who presented the menu (our boarding pass to Peru!). New flavors. I understand that some might be a little disappointed with the dessert, but that's also part of discovering new cuisines. If you're expecting a Paris-Brest or tiramisu, this isn't the place. Before going, I thought some of the dishes in the photos looked a bit "kitsch," but once there, with the explanations, it made more sense. Actually, they're reproductions and little nods to Peruvian cuisine. In short, thank you for this culinary journey!
