I Eat Essential Bouchon Foods in Lyon, France

Thank you too Rob, I had a great time helping you in the making of this video !

Tip for eating in France from a Frenchman: when you see that logo on the right at 11:50, it means that the establishment is a member of the AFMR, which is a society of restaurants that hold each other to very high standards (one of them being that everything on the menu has to be homemade). So if you're wandering through the streets in some city in France, don't quite know where to eat, and you see this golden plate with the blue-white-red capital R: absolutely get in there without hesitation and you're almost guaranteed to have a good time. It's never failed me! You can also look up their member restaurants on their website.

Dude. You are one of the best food creators on this platform, one of a kind ⭐️

I spent my college years eating at a bouchon. except it wasn't called bouchon,then more like a troquet (a dive is the closest translation I can think of.) It was run by an aging couple who took great care of their "kids". Papa went to "les Halles" twice a week and bought whatever was a great deal, it could be oysters, steak, crayfish, lamb chops flounder. . . it would be on our table the next day. The menu was simple, it went like this: "if you're hungry enough you'll eat it, and NO there's is no choice" The price was right, about $3.50 for 3 courses plus a glass of vino. The atmosphere was amazing, the line wrapped around the block on WEs and I ate there some of the best food I ever had.

Why hasnt this channel blown yet? your channel is very informative without all the over hyped bs of these tik tok instagram vanity chasers

We spent 2 days in Lyon last month. That was a MISTAKE! We should have done 4 days. The bouchons are wonderful. Great video - it's like one of my friends from the neighborhood reviewing a restaurant.

Thank you for showcasing Lyon. This is the city where my mom had her first teaching job but I was never able to go with her or alone. I love being able to see content of this city as there isn't much.

Bravo, best Lyon foodie video out there. And I've watched many. And great outro regarding Paris (lol) ...very relatable.

This is an awesome video! Best nuggets of info on Lyonnaise cuisine

Nice video. I visited Lyon in 2004 and felt the same affection and comfort with it that made it, in my mind, like the Chicago of France.

Great Video! Super helpful and funny. Definitely saving this for my "France Tips" vid playlist

NICE! Just got back from Lyon. Bro those summers can be brutal. NO AC WHAT WHAT???? Def want to check it out during the winter/Spring. How convenient was Confluence aye? Hope to see more vids.

I love the bouchons in Lyon so much that we're moving there!!

I am french and living in the UK, god, I swear I'm going back to France asap! I need to go to Lyon!

I actually think hard-boiled eggs get a bad rap simply because 90% of the world simply doesn't know how to make them and cook the ever loving bejeesus out of them, making them dry, crumbly and flavorless. Definitely try some properly cooked Tea eggs or soy sauced egg, they will change your mind about hard-boiled eggs. Now I'm not saying they're best way to make eggs, but it isn't the worst way either though. But it really comes down to personal preference. Personally, I think poached eggs are a bit overrated and while I love them on certain dishes/foods, I hate they are on basically everything now. It's like if you want something to look fancy, just throw a poached egg on it and people will go crazy. i swear they so popular because it's so satisfying to pop them more than it coming down it enhancing the dish! LOL! (I full admit there is something deeply satisfying and cathartic about busting up a poached egg and watching the yolk dribble down on to your food...)

I moved to Lyon 24 years ago from the UK and have never regretted it for one moment. Next time you're there, try a bouchon called Notre Maison in the St Jean neighbourhood. It's amazing.

Nice to see an American guy eat something other than cheese burgers and mac and cheese. Cheers!

This video was awesome!!! I love your simplistic description (tastes kinda hot dog-ish) lol!

Great video. Fun to watch and informative. I want to visit Lyon

Love love love! My favourite episode yet! A love letter to Lyon and Lyonnaise food 😍❤️
