Autumn in Lyon is a food lover's paradise. As the city embraces the crisp, cool air, its culinary scene bursts with seasonal delights. Begin your exploration at the local markets, where stalls overflow with fresh produce like pumpkins, chestnuts, and mushrooms. These ingredients find their way into hearty dishes such as velvety pumpkin soup, rich chestnut puree, and the classic Lyonnais dish, coq au vin.
The city’s bouchons, traditional Lyonnais restaurants, serve up comforting meals perfect for the cooler months. Indulge in a plate of quenelles, delicate fish dumplings in a creamy sauce, or savour the robust flavours of andouillette, a tripe sausage that’s a local favourite. Pair these meals with a glass of Beaujolais Nouveau, a young wine released each November, celebrated with great fanfare throughout the region.
Don't miss out on the vibrant food festivals that mark the season, such as the Fête des Lumières, where the city's streets come alive with lights, music, and street food vendors offering gourmet treats. Autumn in Lyon is not just a feast for the palate but a feast for the senses, blending food, tradition, and the enchanting atmosphere of this historic city.
