Itinerary
Our tour guide will meet you at the meeting point and will show you the city while tasting all the typical food. The tastings here described can change according to the season and the availabilities of our partners.
In an amazing local boutique near Lyon Cathedral and with the help of one of the most famous sommeliers of Lyon you will taste some excellent local wine and local charcuterie, such as Rosette de Lyon.
Let's discover the famous hidden passages of Lyon old town: the traboules! These covered narrow streets connect one building to another and were used to transport goods or to seek protection in time of war or fights. And after the discovery of this secret gem, have a seat in a beautiful traditional restaurant, also known as a bouchon, and try one of the most iconic dishes of the Lyonnais gastronomy: the quenelle, perfectly accompanied by a glass of local wine!
Lyon is well-known for its cuisine and its desserts are no exception. In a local confiserie, you will have a taste of some of the most popular sweets in town.
The best dessert in Lyon is absolutely the Praluline: a soft brioche filled with tasty pralines, typical candies made of almond covered by a pink sugar coat. You will have a taste of this special dessert in one of the historical boulangerie in town, founded in 1948!
You will end your culinary journey In an amazing chocolaterie near the Cathedral, where the recipes are created by a Meilleur Ouvrier de France. You will embark on a journey among the different types of chocolate that this region can offer. Just unmissable!

5Food tour in Lyon
Really great tour with Marie-Clara. Lots of good information about Lyon and the food was good. The only improvement I would suggest is not going to 2 candy/chocolate shops-switch one out for something else.
5Great experience
Elisabetta is a great guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. She explained the meals and the history of the area very well and we enjoyed it very much.

Great food tour with Oskar with a good mix of history and Lyon food culture. The food was all delicious and well delivered with explanations linked to the history of Lyon. Oskar was a great guide and provided great insights into everything Lyonnaise. Highly recommended.

About Lyon
Lyon, where the Rhône and Saône meet, is a Roman and Renaissance city of covered passageways, long called the capital of French cooking.
Lyon spreads across two rivers and two hills. On Fourvière hill, the white basilica looks down over the Roman theatres of Lugdunum, once the capital of Gaul, while the Renaissance old town below has narrow streets and covered passageways, the traboules, that silk workers used to carry cloth. The old town and the slopes of Croix-Rousse, the silk weavers' hill, are part of the UNESCO-listed historic site.
