One can already imagine the gourmets salivating at the title... And yes, you read it right: no more traditional steak and fries, insects are taking over our plates. This ephemeral restaurant named "The Gourmet Crickets" and run by a team of young graduates from the Paul Bocuse Institute will open its doors in a still secret location in Lyon for a limited time.
The first gourmet restaurant dedicated to insects
On the menu: crickets in sweet and sour sauce, crispy crickets, stir-fried mealworms, and many other gastronomic curiosities. Because yes, the establishment presents itself as gourmet with a know-how never seen before in France and in Lyon. The most adventurous may even try a glass of white wine accompanied by a grilled grasshopper...
A great source of proteins, insects are both ecological and economical, as well as already very popular in other countries. So, why not here? The restaurant "The C".Riquets Gourmands wishes to offer an original and educational culinary experience by providing a diverse and flavorful menu. From there to imagine a Lyonnaise salad with grilled worms, there is only one step that we still hesitate to take... ¡Happy eating, and let's not be afraid to try new things!
