Lyon is the world capital of cuisine: a bold statement, but one that is borne out by the sheer quality and diversity of food on offer. In every corner of the city's ancient Roman centre, the cobbled alleyways – or traboules – are alive with cafés and restaurants where the food is of a quality and value for money unmatched anywhere in the world.
