To start, I love cheese. This shop was part of a wine and cheese pairing tour we booked through…read moreViator - https://www.viator.com/tours/Lyon/Gastronomy-Walking-Tour-in-Lyon/d829-29575P3 . The tour guide brought his own wine to pair with the cheeses that were selected. (He also has taken many classes in oenology and is truly knowledgeable.) The wines alone would have been amazing, but paired with the cheese it made for a truly excellent experience. The owner of the cheese shop was super enthusiastic about how he had just started the business seven months ago and how he was doing well. His passion for cheese and offering to share a taste of anything we wanted outside of the norm was very cool. If I lived in the area i'd make this shop a regular spot to score my cheese.

This is the "mother" of all cheese shops (see what I did there?).

I'm partial to Comte, and they have a number of options, depending on your taste and price pain threshhold. For the local favourite St Marcellin, they ask when you'll eat it, and then poke several rounds to find one that will be perfectly ripe when you want it. They also do an excellent truffled Brillat-Savarin. For me, this is a different experience to top cheese shops in Paris. There, if you only speak basic French, you are looked at somewhere between pity and disgust, and get the sense that they are only taking your money because they have to. Here, they were smiling and friendly, helpful about sizes, and proved that you don't need a lot of language skills to buy some amazing cheeses. Highly recommend!

This food hall features the "Best of the best of Lyon and other regions of France. You can dine in at a few restaurants inside, feast on some of the FRESHEST seafood, charcuterie, foie gras, Lyonnaise specialities, and be sure to save room for dessert and sweets from some of Lyon's top patisseries inside. Workers inside are very polite and very accommodating, also very appreciative of our attempts to communicate in French. It is Gastronomy overload here as we visited two days in a row. We feasted on Oysters, shellfish, charcuterie, wine and cheese, and even Lyonnaise specialities like Andoulette and Salade Lyonnaise. Lots of variety here. Price points for food items here are justified, even cheaper than what we pay in the U.S. This is definitely the food hall of all food halls!

All of which offered local Lyonnaise food. Thank you. Lyon is known for their food, but I have been unlucky with my meals.

Caters to both locals and tourists. Saw many tour groups. Price - Depends on what you buy, eat, or drink. I felt reasonably priced. Do keep in mind that this is also a tourist place, so prices may reflect that. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.
