A story that began on the other side of the world, a passionate couple, and a cuisine that takes you on a journey.\n

World cuisine \u00b7 Spices \u00b7 Lyon<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/header>

\n

Born from a meeting in New Zealand, Accentu\u00e9 is the project of two passionate individuals:\u00a0Ashwin<\/strong>, a globetrotting chef steeped in Asian influences, and Jennifer<\/strong>, hospitality expert. Together, they chose Lyon to open a restaurant where spices become a language, an emotion, a journey.<\/p>\n\n<\/section>

\n

A story that begins on the other side of the world<\/h2>\nIt all starts in New Zealand<\/strong>, In Wellington, Ashwin, originally from India, learned to cook and absorbed the pervasive Asian influences in the region. It was there that he met Jennifer, who would become his life partner\u2026 and later, his business partner.\n
\u00ab"Together, their shared and complementary passions for cooking and hospitality take on a new dimension."\u00bb<\/blockquote>\nAfter ten years of experience, they decided it was time: to open their own restaurant, a place that reflects who they are, a place where they cook with heart and welcome with generosity.\n\n<\/section>
\n

Why Lyon? Because the city inspires<\/h2>\n
\"Ashwin
Ashwin and Jennifer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nLyon is a natural choice: a capital of gastronomy, a city steeped in culinary traditions, but also a land of openness and experimentation. Ashwin and Jennifer want to bring a little piece of their travels to the city, a breath of fresh air from elsewhere. Their guiding principle? Spices<\/strong>. Not to burn the taste buds, but to reveal, to enhance, to tell a story.\n

    What is a spice? An invitation to travel<\/h2>\n\"spiced\n\nSpices come from the most aromatic parts of plants: seeds, roots, fruits, flowers, bark\u2026 They are at the heart of the great trade routes of yesterday and today, and constitute the soul of many culinary traditions. At Accentu\u00e9, they are worked with delicacy: no fire, no harshness, but a build-up of flavors, a depth, an emotion.\n\n<\/section>
