A taste of Lyons for London

[Corinna Dunne]

Jean-Christophe Ansanay-Alex (Michelin 2* chef of Auberge de l’Ile in Lyons), has signed a lease on Lundum’s on Brompton Road and plans to open a small fine dining restaurant in early summer. His business partners for the new restaurant are Jean-Michel Aulas (background in software and president of the Olympique Lyonnais, France’s leading premier league football club), and City trader Marc Grosjean.

The word is he’s taken a flat in London, so will be around for quite some time, but the make-or-break person is inevitably going to be the head chef.

His name is quite a mouthful… anyone tried his food?
