In France there is a saying, you either come from Paris or from France. So on a recent trip to France I spent a few days wandering around the streets of Lyon searching for the best gastronomical experiences, the kind that fuels the French stereotype. Well, I was blown away by what I found, some of the most delicious food I have ever eaten. This is where to find it.

Notre Maison – This place was so impressive it even amazed my Lyonnais mates. If you want the authentic experience look no further.

L’epicurie Sarl – This café’s speciality is tartines and has some delicious desserts.

La Limonade de Marinette – This café is in an old general store and is a great place to stop for lunch before you attempt the accent to the Basilica.

La Cave d’à Côté – This wine bar is a hidden gem. Make sure you order a assiette de charcuterie platter here, it’s amazing.
