Food in Lyon

If you only know one thing about Lyon's food, it is probably that Paul Bocuse is from there.

And that is not a bad thing to know.

But there are many other places to eat in Lyon, and most of them are really quite delicious.

Bocuse has put his name on the main market in Lyon, Les Halles de Lyon - Paul Bocuse, and it is stuffed with vendors, restaurants, locals, and tourists. We ate at a place called AOC, which was certainly a treat. Lyonnaise food, well prepared and delicious. Along with a "pot" (46cl, a Lyonnaise thing) of a noce Cote du Rhone wine, a great meal in the pouring rain.

We ate at two other special, small places. Le Canute et Les Gones was a  little less formal, a little noisier, and sort of more fun. Le Jean Moulin was a little more formal, and a little more delicious. Both are worth the money, and provide good service and good suggestions for both the wine and the meal.

And, of course, we ate at Augeberge de Pont des Collonges. Paul Bocuse's three Michelin star palace just outside of Lyon. All I can say is thank goodness for Uber!
