Lyon and the Alps Restaurants

Lyon and the Alps Restaurant Reviews

The food you'll find in the Rhône-Alps region is some of France's best, as it's considered the birthplace of the country's traditional cuisine, while also being the engine room of tomorrow's latest trends and gourmet styles— In Lyon's countless bouchons (taverns or eating houses), you'll find everything from gras double (tripe) to boudin noir (black sausage) to paillasson (fried hashed potatoes). If it's a light or vegetarian meal you're after, you'll be hard-pressed to find one here. Hotels, inns, bed-and-breakfasts, gîtes d'étapes (hikers' way stations), and tables d'hôte run the gamut from grande luxe to spartanly rustic in this multifaceted region embracing ultra-urban chic in Lyon as well as ski huts in the Alps.
