Lovely farmers market next to the Saône river…read more Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, but also cured meats, cheeses and some prepared food, mostly at very fair prices. A really nice stroll in the morning. We went back twice.

Never mind Les Halles de Paul Bocuse…read more This is THE great gourmet market in Lyon. It is a massive massive street market on the banks of the Saone. Being on the river, it is as scenic as can possibly be imagined. The market goes on and on and on and on and on. Every kind of meat, every kind of fish, every kind of shellfish, every kind of vegetable, every kind of fruit, every kind of cheese, every kind of bread, every kind of pastry, every kind of spice, every kind of charcuterie, every kind of artisanal prepared food, Any thing you can think of in French cuisine: It's all here at the Marche Saint-Antoine. And they have it at multiple stalls - so you can pick and choose which vendor you like. Want to make pigeon stuffed with quince? They have the pigeon. They have the quince. Do you want fromage blanc made on the Savoyard model rather than following the Lyonnaise model? You have that option and six other choices as well. Have a French cookbook you read but can't use, since you can't find about a third of the ingredients? All those ingredients are at the Marche Saint-Antoine. The prices are very very reasonable. (The contrast with Les Halles de Paul Bocuse is particularly striking on the price issue.) If I lived in Lyon, I would set my cooking days to be the market days at the Marche Saint-Antoine ... Even if there was a perfectly good smaller market in my neighborhood.

Yum!! I'm so happy to have found this place. A falafel wrap is a fantastic substitute for the lack…read moreof real burritos around here. If you order the "sandwich," you'll get falafel, hummus, the "falafel sauce" (which I think was tahini-based but I'll ask next time,) fresh tomato, fresh mint, and pickles on Lebanese bread. It costs 4,50€ and is quite filling and very tasty! The owner is super friendly too and he knows English, which is a bonus for me! He gave me a stuffed grape leaf to try while he was making my falafel (that's right - he was making it fresh right there!!) and that was tasty too. It was fresh and crisp, not like the ones you buy at the store that are a soggy mess. The truck is parked at various locations around the city throughout the week but you can visit their website to see where it is on a particular day. Trust me - it's worth it!

Aklé (the food truck) is at my nearby market every weekend. The food is great but it's not cheap…read more Some hummus, some falafel, and soon you're talking about real money :) But it's worth it from time to time.

This is such a great place to get together with friends! Indoor and outdoor space and a laid back…read moreatmosphere make it the perfect spot. So much choice in food and drinks. Can't wait to go back
