Marie-Victorine Manoa
Aux Lyonnais
Paris, France
As her father was the owner of the legendary bouchon Le Mercière, Marie-Victorine Manoa grew up with the food of Lyon. In her Paris restaurant, Aux Lyonnais, a small historic establishment and part of the Ducasse group, she serves Lyonnais-inspired dishes refined in a contemporary way. Onion stuffed with Bresse chicken, chicken liver cake with bone marrow, spatchcocked partridge with roast liver and buttered cabbage, and Pommes Anna with smoked eel and artichoke. Manoa’s food goes well beyond the Lyon of the past to become something truly authentic and her own. We look forward to watching her evolve even more.
