What does me do in 4 days in Lyon, the capital famous for French gastronomy?
EAT!
Le Premier: Le Bouchon Lyonnais (Traditional Lyonnaise Cuisine)
Plat de charcuterie and 4 massive bowls of take-as-much-as-you-want entrees (white beans, green lentils, lyon sausage and potato and sausage salade)
Tabliers de Sapeur: breaded and fried tripes with some white sauce (probably creme et butter)
Another plat: Pork cheeks cooked in blood gravy…(not as bad as it sounds. The meat was super tender et sauce is really strong mais went down well with une verre de vin rouge de Beaujolais).
Saint Marcellin Fromage et Cervelle du Canut (fromage blanc with garlic, shallots and chives!)
All you can eat dessert: homemade apple compote, pruneaux au vin et creme caramel!
That was just lunch!
