1 October 2021 Lyon les Halles Paul Bocuse

 


We have been looking forward to visiting this market.  It is considered the best indoor food hall in the world.  I would agree wholeheartedly.  Paul Bocuse is considered the chef of the century and we will be having lunch at his restaurant tomorrow.  There are over 60 vendors from butchers to cheese mongers, fish mongers, bakers, patissiers, frog leg providers, produce stands and more.


A sleek modern exterior to this reimagining of Les Halles.  It was opened ion 1859 but in 2004 Paul Bocuse put his name on the redeveloped hall.



These prawns were looking at me so I ate them


When we passed this display we knew this is where we will have our lunch


The dry ice vapors were particularly intriguing  


The bome marrow was 12 euro per kg.  We are going back tomorrow!


The chef making my ceviche


The chef making Laura's giant prawns.  Each prawn was 10 inches long


Slice and grill and serve


Take note folks, visit this restaurant
