Takao Takano
Japanese
A Japanese-born chef who abandoned law school to cook is either a cliché or a great origin story, and in this case the food settles the question. Takao Takano is a two-Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant in Lyon's 6th, elegant and pared back, where the cooking pairs French classicism with a Japanese instinct for restraint. The menu moves through precise, quietly inventive dishes that manage to surprise without showing off.
