"The undisputed gastronomic capital of France, Lyon has a unique gourmet heritage dating back 2,000 years to when the Romans made the city their headquarters of ancient Gaul. For travelers today, it remains a seductive destination-still off-the-beaten-track of mass tourism and compact enough to discover on foot, between medieval Vieux-Lyon and the baroque Presqu'Ile that sits between the mighty Rhône and Saône rivers."
"A visit to Lyon without reserving a table at the fine dining palace of legendary chef Paul Bocuse is unthinkable for anyone with a passion for food. Monsieur Paul may have passed away in 2018, but today, his opulent family-run restaurant still holds its two Michelin stars. Forget about fashionable foodie trends, the cuisine here remains a faithful homage to the master, perfectly reproducing his signature dishes like plump pike quenelle dumplings in a rich creamy Nantua sauce,"
Lyon combines a 2,000-year gourmet heritage with compact, walkable neighborhoods between the Rhône and Saône rivers. The city spans medieval Vieux-Lyon and the baroque Presqu'Ile and remains largely off the mass-tourism radar. Culinary offerings range from opulent, multi-course tasting menus to traditional Lyonnais bouchons, lively food stalls, and plant-based options. Paul Bocuse's family-run restaurant preserves classic signature dishes and retains two Michelin stars, showcasing rich preparations like quenelles, Rossini and truffle soup. Dining in Lyon invites indulgence across both historic and modern interpretations of French cuisine.
