The fine-dining restaurant will serve its final dinner on September 26, before embarking on a major renovation. For this final evening, L\u00e9o Besnard and his teams will offer an all-inclusive menu for CHF 350.\u2013, featuring a wine pairing and an aperitif served upstairs. The bistro and the Auberge will remain open for a few more days before closing on October 10. The restaurant hopes to make this final day more of a village-style, convivial gathering, surrounded by its producers, suppliers, winemakers, and cheesemakers, with fire pits, large communal tables, and dishes to share.    <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What&#8217;s next?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is where the details still need to be worked out. No timeline for the construction work or reopening date has been announced at this stage. The project does, however, call for a major transformation of the Lion d\u2019Or, including a new fine-dining restaurant, a brasserie, and various modernized dining rooms\u2014notably to meet new energy efficiency requirements. Chef L\u00e9o Besnard will remain involved in the development of the future project. During the closure, the chef will also continue and expand the restaurant\u2019s catering business. The Lion d\u2019Or will therefore disappear from Geneva\u2019s gastronomic scene for a while. The question is: for how long\u2014and, above all, in what new light will we see it again?      <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lion d\u2019Or in Cologny is set to begin a major renovation.
