Hostellerie du Vieux Pérouges

Lyon & the Rhône Valley


A Pérouges institution, this eatery is celebrated for its superb regional dishes such as poulet de Bresse rôti au grand four (roasted chicken), served in a wonderfully rustic dining room complete with exposed beams, stone walls, sturdy wooden tables and a big fireplace. It also doubles as a tearoom, where you can recharge with a side of galette de Pérouges (sugar-crusted tart).

It's usually packed with tour groups at lunchtime.
