Lyon Food Market

Lyon Food Market

The Lyon Food Market, established in 1859, is the largest central food market in Lyon and a specialty destination for high-end ingredients. Designed with the concept of a “vertical garden,” the market features an entire facade covered in plants, giving it the appearance of a large garden from the outside.

Upon entering the bright and spacious Lyon Food Market, you’ll see 56 neat and tidy stalls stacked with gourmet ingredients. Here you can find “garlic honey,” which won’t give you bad breath, fresh sheep’s milk cheese, Bresse chicken raised on a milk diet, and the famous cheese shop La Mère Richard, where you can sample perfectly ripened small round Saint-Marcellin cheeses. Don’t miss the butcher shops, where freshly made pork and duck rillettes (a specialty from southwestern France made from duck tongues, hearts, kidneys, and other ingredients) are still warm to the touch; there’s also Alpine ham and Lyon’s signature dry red sausage. In addition, the area around the Lyon Food Market is home to restaurants run by renowned chefs such as Paul Bocuse or Georges Blanc, where you can enjoy a delicious meal.
