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.

5.00Nathalie was a wonderful guide who enthusiastically shared her love of Lyon’s food and history. We visited a lovely family run shop to start, then an authentic Bouchon and finished with multiple sweet treats. Lots of value, worth it!

5.00We spent a cold and windy afternoon with Sib touring restaurants, chocolate shops, secret passage ways in Old Town Lyon (Vieux Lyon). Sib's charming manner and attention to detail set a lovely tone, she is knowledgeable and friendly. We loved the food, which was authentic and warm. We tried multiple treats, ate a warm lunch, and enjoyed wine and good company. I highly recommend her, the tour made us feel at home and well fed. Our family went back to our place afterward and napped the afternoon away.
This is a great tour. Oliver was fun to listen to and was very knowledgeable about the surroundings. Each food stop was special

5.00We brought our family with three younger children on the food tour. Our guide Ash was wonderful and made sure she included them in everything. We paid them a few dollars to try each item. !!!!Each stop was great and Ash was wonderful. We tried two or three savory dishes as well as two or three local French desserts. We also got a nice walking history tour of things as we passed them. I would highly recommend this if your family is adventurous and wants to try some new cuisines!
