The Restaurant
Our cuisine draws its inspiration from the art of French gastronomy, elevated by carefully selected ingredients chosen for their freshness and quality. Each dish pays tribute to the terroir and its riches, blending tradition with creativity. We invite you to discover a culinary experience where authenticity and refinement come together in exquisite harmony, accompanied by exceptional wines from passionate vineyards.
L’Étape Dorée: A New Era in Saint-Genis-Laval
In March 2025, L’Étape Dorée left the peaceful harmony of L'Arbresle to settle in the heart of Saint-Genis-Laval, in a larger and brighter setting. This change is not just a simple move; it is an evolution, a relentless pursuit of perfection, a desire to offer you, dear guests, an ever more refined gastronomic experience.
Why this change?
In this larger space, our kitchen unfolds with elegance.
The new brigade enjoys the freedom to work in optimal conditions.
Every technique, every cooking method, is thus enhanced.
The dining room also expands, offering each guest a moment of quiet pleasure and an atmosphere conducive to contemplation,
where every dish becomes a sensory journey.
A garden in the making
Our private garden is becoming an experimental ground, where nature reclaims its place.
Before we see fresh herbs and vegetables grow, we must first prepare the soil, nourish it, and restore its richness.
This groundwork is essential and will take time. If everything goes as planned,
we hope to start cultivating our first products in about a year.
Our food waste will transform, in a virtuous cycle, to nourish the land.
We move forward at our own pace to ensure sustainable and meaningful growth.
Thus, we give back to nature what it offers us, creating the perfect balance between the earth and the plate.
A unique gastronomic experience
It is with this sustainable vision that we move forward, offering a single gastronomic menu,
fully focused on the pursuit of perfection. This menu becomes a promise of quality and refinement.
Our beverage pairings, whether wines or non-alcoholic options, are carefully selected to complement each bite,
each flavor note. A subtle, calculated harmony that turns every meal into a work of art.
We invite you to step into our new universe and rediscover the soul of L’Étape Dorée,
always faithful to our desire for simple luxury and authenticity. Together, let’s continue this culinary and poetic journey,
where every moment becomes a celebration of the senses.
