"Food fantasia"
Designed by Casson Mann, Cité International de la Gastronomie de Lyon firmly establishes Lyon as a gastronomical cultural centre.
The exhibition’s eight spaces explore the intertwined stories of Lyon’s convivial dining culture, gastronomic ideals and heritage, local terroir and ingredients, the success of Lyonnaise chefs, the connection between food, health and wellbeing and the future of food and agriculture.
See here for the full article, “Food fantasia: Lyon’s new gastronomy centre puts the world on a plate”, Jon Bryant, The Guardian, 19th November 2019.
“Flavours from all over the globe can be celebrated at a captivating venue inside the redeveloped Grand Hôtel-Dieu by the Rhône”
Jon Bryant, The Guardian
“Set over four floors, it’s an imaginative, playful, educational experience with high-tech exhibits set in various rustic, curative or culinary settings within the beautifully renovated building.
Lyon’s most famous chef, Paul Bocuse, who died in 2018, appears as a warm-hearted, life-size cutout, as do the Mères Lyonnaises, the famous Mothers of Lyon who, having been let go from household service, opened restaurants serving simple, hearty dishes and enhanced Lyon’s reputation for excellent food.”
