Lyon, the world capital of gastronomy, the Bocuse d’Or and… Tallinn!In 1935, Lyon was declared the world capital of gastronomy and has always held this title. It is in Lyon that the famous Bocuse d’Or biannual competition is organized. It sees 24 of the most promising chefs of their generations prepare exquisite dishes that are judged by a jury composed of illustrious master chefs. The 24 who reach the world final at the SIRHA catering show in Lyon will have been selected during the continental competitions.
