La Table des Matrus

La Table des Matrus is a semi‑gastronomic restaurant at 26 Rue du Grand Gonnet in the heart of Saint‑Étienne. It offers a modern, inventive take on French cooking while remaining rooted in regional tradition. The kitchen pursues a philosophy balancing respect for classic recipes with creative, contemporary techniques to produce expressive, memorable dishes. Recognised by Gault & Millau, it holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand. The dining room pairs an industrial‑inspired, refined design with a warm atmosphere. Guests can watch an open kitchen and enjoy an inviting terrace. The overall vibe is modern and comfortable with attention to detail that avoids excess. The restaurant serves audacious, contemporary French cuisine prioritising seasonal ingredients and sourcing 90% of its produce from short local supply circuits while blending tradition and innovation. Matéo Ravel (Chef) brings Nordic influences from his Danish experiences. Specialities are lacto‑fermented preparations; artisanal preserves and conserves marrying preservation techniques with seasonal produce; terroir‑driven seasonal dishes; exceptional meats supplied via close collaboration with local supplier Boucherie Bornat; and a carefully curated wine cellar celebrating regional vineyards with considered food‑and‑wine pairings.
