Open since 1988, this gorgeous restaurant set the benchmark for the others that followed it into the Châtelain district. Inside a former ironmonger shop built in 1903, La Quincaillerie has a beautiful Art Nouveau exterior and an interior of wrought-iron balconies, polished brass, and a huge clock. It’s always buzzing as waiters deliver dishes with style to a chic clientele. The restaurant takes the environmental route with ingredients, using sustainable fish sources; chicken from its own farm in Bresse, France; locally procured vegetables; and organic and biodynamic wines. This is combined with an interesting menu, which may include grilled scallops with marinated pumpkin in a lemony lobster sauce for a starter; and pork knuckle with mashed potatoes and grilled mushrooms as a main. There’s also a formidable range of fish and seafood available.
