C’est Lyon qui régale, which in English means “It’s Lyon’s treat,” is a website in conjunction with the Only Lyon site profiling all things food happening in the city, from restaurants to cooking classes to festivals.

The site is in English and French, for both local residents and international visitors. C’est Lyon qui régale is meant to be the must-read guide for Lyon’s food culture, reinforcing the city’s reputation as the world capital of gastronomy.

But it doesn’t just include the city. Lyon’s food scene expands through the Lyonnais, the Beaujolais, the Northern Côtes-du-Rhône, Bresse, and all the surrounding areas. Only Lyon’s C’est Lyon qui régale seeks to promote this variety and give people a true taste of Lyon’s diverse cuisine.

The site is structured in five sections: markets, featuring the most emblematic of Lyon; cooking workshops and classes; tastings; fine dining and culture from traditional bouchons to international cuisine; and festive events, which includes the food fairs and festivals currently becoming so popular in Lyon.

C’est Lyon qui regale is run by a team of 20 journalists, cooks, event planners, foodies, and Lyon institutions and partners to bring the best of Lyon’s food to the forefront of the city’s cultural life.
