So if you visit Lyon, you should definitely try the local recipe of Coq au vin.

It is a classic French dish, but in Lyon the cooks have the gift of evolving it and turning it into a gastronomic feast!

It is a rooster in wine that, in addition to the basic ingredients (chicken braised with wine), also includes mushrooms, onion, lard and garlic.

Also, the cooks prefer Burgundy wine.

In any restaurant you find in the French city, be sure that you will be pleased if they bring Coq au vin in front of you.

You’ll likely order the exact same dish the next day!

Several chefs in Lyon even use cognac to give it a distinct flavor. Indeed, cognac is also a secret ingredient in making the dish one of the country’s top dishes.
