A word from
Clovis Khoury
“Krug is a unique Maison, both in its philosophy and its champagnes crafted with the greatest attention to detail. It is the champagne of great moments and sharing.”
Clovis Khoury (Head Chef & Owner)
About the Ambassade
Maison Clovis is a refined culinary address in the heart of Lyon’s 6th arrondissement, just steps from the Parc de la Tête d’Or and the Part-Dieu train station. Designed by renowned Lyonnais architect Pierre Chaduc, the restaurant embodies a harmony between contemporary design and environmentally conscious values. Its cuisine reflects a deep-rooted philosophy: to make gastronomic excellence accessible to all, especially those with a humble but discerning appreciation for good food. Maison Clovis invites guests into an honest, thoughtful, and inclusive fine dining experience.
About the Krug Lover
Chef Clovis Khoury was born in the village of Mechmech, Lebanon, and raised in the historic town of Byblos, where the rituals of cooking were woven into daily family life. He arrived in France at the age of 23 and began his culinary training at 27, working alongside celebrated chefs including Marc Veyrat in Annecy and at La Rotonde in Charbonnières. With the opening of Maison Clovis, he earned a Michelin star within just one year. Today, his cuisine is guided by what he calls “the art of simplicity,” shaped by culture, discipline, and experience. Over time, his admiration for Krug has deepened, mirroring his own dedication to detail, emotion, and excellence.
