Food is undoubtedly one of Lyon's most beloved traditions. Since 1935, the city has been considered the world capital of gastronomy. When Lyon's culinary traditions were being forged, the famous "Mères Lyonnaises" (Lyonnaise Mothers) managed to turn Lyon cuisine into an institution. Today, male chefs dominate the scene, like the famous Paul Bocuse, however it is the women who evolved the renowned cuisine. Many of the recipes around the city are unchanged from their humble beginnings, meaning you'll have the opportunity to taste the culture and history that has turned Lyon into the culinary hub it is today. We'll guide you through this gastronomic journey infused with passion, history, and exquisite French food and wine. Find out why eating and drinking are not just a pastime in Lyon, but a way of life.

If we could give 10 plus stars we would. One of the best food tours we have ever taken. Nathalie was incredibly knowledgeable. It is obvious she puts a tremendous amount of work and research into her tour. We learned a tremendous amount about the history of Lyon, the people and its food. Nathalie was funny, cheerful and seems to really enjoy her job!!!

We stayed in Old Lyon and this trio felt like the best way to get to know Lyon quickly, and it delivered!! Nathalie was an incredibly knowledgable and fun guide and we got to learn many things about Lyon that we could explore in our own time afterward. Highly recommended!
