In Lyon, vegetarian restaurants certainly never stop amazing us. Mertensia, located on Rue Tronchet in the 6th arrondissement, has just been honored once again by the international guide We're Smart World, which distinguished it with four radishes in late October, in Brussels. A wonderful recognition for chef-owner Flavien Guarato, especially since his restaurant hasn't even celebrated its second birthday yet!
