Renowned the world over, Lyon's cuisine is as rich as it is delicious. No wonder Lyon is considered the gastronomic capital of France. With a strong influence of peasant and regional cooking through the use of local ingredients, Lyon cuisine reflects the culinary tradition of the Rhône-Alpes region.
Among the most famous Lyonnais dishes, served in traditional bouchons, are pike quenelles with Nantua sauce, boudin noir, grattons de porc, salade lyonnaise, cervelle de Canut, tablier de sapeur (sapper's apron), and a whole host of charcuterie, led by dry sausages, accompanied by a glass of Rhône Valley red wine. For dessert, it's impossible not to try the pink praline tart.
