There are restaurants that fill your stomach, and then there’s O-Berny, which also fills your heart. Behind this somewhat enigmatic name, Amaury and Mathilde unfold a concept as simple as it is clever: the French bento. Forget about sad meal trays and copy-pasted daily menus. Here, everything arrives at once, just like in Japan, except that on the plate, you can smell the land, seasonal vegetables, homemade sauces, and the chef's creative touch.

The unique concept of French-style bento
Amaury is truly a top-notch chef, trained at the prestigious Parisian culinary schools. After cooking up a storm, he decided to hang up his knives in Lyon to join Mathilde, his other half, who welcomes you with a genuine smile and contagious energy. Together, they created O-Berny, a restaurant dreamed up during the lockdowns – in other words, a little gem born from a time when everything had to be reimagined.
