The capital of the Gauls is about to lose one of its shining stars. After ten years of delightful indulgence, Passe Temps, a Michelin-starred restaurant located in the 6th arrondissement of Lyon, is getting ready to shut down and pack its bags for Paris. The opening is planned for the end of next year, and Parisians can truly rejoice at the thought of soon savoring the chef's exquisite dishes!
A Franco-Korean Fusion Cuisine
Opened in 2014 by Korean chef Younghoon Lee – a graduate of the Paul Bocuse Institute (now known as the Lyfe Institute) – Passe Temps combines the best of France and Korea on our plates. In the kitchen, they honor classic French gastronomy while jazzing it up with bold and umami-rich Korean flavors. The result? On the menu, you might find a melting red tuna tartare with beetroot and fresh cream, or a low-temperature cooked monkfish medallion with white kimchi sauce...
But to continue...the menu changes pretty regularly, with the seasons and the fresh arrivals. A cuisine that's earned the restaurant its first star in the Michelin guide in 2016, just two years after opening. As for prices, you can expect to pay between 75 and 115€ for a discovery menu at lunch, and 125€ for a seven-course meal at dinner.

A Bittersweet Farewell to Le Passe Temps in Lyon
On the restaurant's Instagram account, Chef Younghoon Lee announced the permanent closure of his Lyon restaurant. The address will host its final dinner on the evening of December 14, before entering a lengthy moving process ahead of its opening in Paris in late 2025 (or early 2026) in a much larger space. For now, we don't yet know the new neighborhood where it will settle. What we do know is that the chef plans to keep the same name and the same concept, but unfortunately, he will be parting with his precious star. However, we have no doubt he will conquer his new territory with ease!
