The third-largest city in France, straddling the Saône and Rhône rivers, Lyon sits at a crossroads of influences, at the heart of one of France’s richest agricultural regions, where rustic regional harvests meet classic culinary craft. The city’s quays, landscaped with peaceful water gardens and floating bars, buzz night and day – while culture lovers can explore a bounty of museums. Then there’s the gastronomy among France’s finest, thanks to the unfaltering creativity of Lyonnais chefs, both past and present, making it the perfect summer getaway and an ideal place to discover French cuisine and to fall in love with it, with a number of traditional dishes topping the list like Salade Lyonnaise and Duck Pâté.

Today our dish in focus is ‘Salade Lyonnaise’ that consists of lettuce, bacon, croutons, and a poached egg that is placed on top of it. The salad gets an extra hit of pork flavor from emulsifying the vinaigrette with bacon fat; breaking the yolks into the greens adds even more richness. It is one of the most popular salads found on the menus of numerous small French bistros and restaurants. We can almost visualize the soft light over the cityscape, smell the aroma of the fresh baguettes, and feel the beauty of getting lost in the winding streets. With all that the city has to offer, we are sure you’ve added Lyon to your bucket list for when it’s safe to travel again. For now, let the French flavors of Salad Lyonnaise engulf you in a warm hug. Bon Appetit!
