đ«đ· When in Lyon, thereâs only one thing I do: eat đ„ The capital of
In Lyon, my only goal is to taste the most authentic Lyonnaise cuisine. Known as the "worldâs capital of gastronomy," this city is home to countless restaurants worth exploring. This time, I chose PraLyon, a restaurant in Lyonâs Old Townâa genuine Bouchon Lyonnais (traditional Lyonnaise bistro). đ PraLyon: âą đ 5 Place du Gouvernement, 69005 Lyon, France âą â° Hours: 11:30 AM - 10:00 PM đœ Must-try Lyonnaise specialties At Le PraLyon, I ordered three of the most iconic Lyonnaise dishesâall authentic local flavors, and I left completely satisfied! đ„© Tablier de Sapeur ("Firefighterâs Apron" fried tripe) â âŹ19.50 The name is playful, inspired by firefightersâ leather aprons. The tripe is marinated first, then coated in breadcrumbs and fried to golden crispness. The texture is crispy outside, tender inside, and it pairs perfectly with classic tartar sauce, creating rich layers of flavor. Rating: âââââ! đ Saucisson briochĂ© maison (homemade brioche sausage) â âŹ17.50 A traditional Lyonnaise classic: a pork sausage wrapped in soft brioche bread. One bite brings a perfect blend of the breadâs subtle sweetness and the sausageâs savory richness, served with red wine sauce! đ· Saucisson chaud sauce vigneronne (hot sausage with winegrowerâs sauce) â âŹ18.50 If you love wine-infused dishes, donât miss Saucisson chaud! The pork sausage is slow-cooked in red wine sauce, making the meat tender with a rich wine aroma. Served with steamed potatoes, itâs a true taste of Lyon! đœ Other Lyonnaise specialties worth trying Beyond the three dishes I ordered, Le PraLyonâs menu features many traditional Lyonnaise delights: đ„ Andouillette Ă la moutarde (grilled pork intestine sausage with mustard) â âŹ19.50 A specialty of Lyon and eastern France. The sausage, made from pork intestines, has a bold flavor, with a crispy, charred exterior. Served with slightly spicy mustard sauce, itâs perfect for adventurous eaters! đ Quenelle de brochet sauce nantua (pike quenelle with Nantua sauce) â âŹ18.00 One of Lyonâs most iconic traditional dishes: light, fluffy fish dumplings made from pike and flour, topped with Nantua sauce (a rich sauce made with crayfish and cream). #LyonFrance #LyonFood #LyonLife #LyonFoodie #EMLyon #LyonTravel #LyonGuide #StudyInLyon #LyonTourism #FrenchStudentLife
