Holidaymakers who want to explore the dreamlike and historic French metropolis with charm and character Lyon can look forward to culinary delights of a very special kind. Because the cuisine of Lyon is known far beyond the borders of France. What cannot be missed when it comes to culinary delights when visiting the city in the heart of the country, the country’s gastronomic capital?
Experience true culinary delights in the Lyon Buchons
The so-called Buchons are small typical restaurants that seduce with their charm and their exquisite menus. Here you can enjoy one Lyon specialty after the other. Whether the classic tripe dish “Tapir de Sapeur” or the tempting herb quark spread “Cervelle de Canut” – it always tastes delicious!
Eating and dining as a philosophy of life
The city has held the title of “World Capital of Gastronomy” since 1935. That’s not surprising. Fast food has no place here and you won’t find it. You don’t want to either. You will want to try the carnival cramps, which can only be found here, the cake with roasted almonds, the sausages in brioche dough and especially the Lyon dumplings such as the Cousin de Lyon, a very special specialty made of marzipan and chocolate. The pink pralines are also a real gourmet treat. And then the Saint-Marcellin cheese! One of the flagships of gastronomy. Mild and creamy and simply delicious.
