Designated the ‘world capital of gastronomy’ by a renowned food critic in 1925, Lyon has lived up to this title for over a century. First, it was the Mères Lyonnaises (Lyonese mothers) who, between the wars, delighted the palates of society as a whole with their generous and gourmet dishes. Then, it was Paul Bocuse, the ‘Chef of the Century’, who brought Lyonese and French gastronomy to the forefront of the international scene. Their legacy has endured far beyond their deaths, with many talented cooks emerging, including numerous Michelin-starred chefs.

Lyon's cultural richness is also reflected in its cuisine, with all types represented. From traditional Lyonnais bouchons to trendy bistronomic restaurants and establishments serving world cuisine and vegetarian dishes, there is something for everyone. If you visit Lyon, be sure to dine at one of our recommended restaurants or take home a local speciality, such as praline rose!
