The story of ARTthree friends turned restaurateurs

In 2022, three childhood friends made their dream come true: opening their own fine dining restaurant on Lyon's Presqu'île, on rue Sala. ART proudly carries their three initials.

How it began

A childhood dream

Their names are Alexandre Tremblais, Ronan Lavillaugouet and Thibaut Sajot, from Tours, Villabon and Méry-sur-Cher. Former students of the Jacques-Cœur school in Bourges, they opened ART in 2022 in the Ainay district, with a simple idea: generous home cooking, fine produce, and the joy of creating new dishes in a warm setting.

Sous-chef

Alexis

◆

Straight from Chile, he infuses every dish with the warmth of Latin America. His speciality: the best empanadas in the region, approved by the team and by his mum.

Front of house

Sergueï

◆

After cutting his teeth in Copenhagen, he delivers attentive service and walks you through the menu with care, in French and in English. His number one passion is music, so do strike up a conversation.
