I go there most days and love the food ! Whilst I'd love to go to
Georges Blanc or Troisgros every week, I can't afford it. We eat in
local restaurants twice a week and spend 30-40€ for two inc beer/wine.
Occasionally we venture into Lyon with visitors and go somewhere more
upmarket and pay 30-40€ each, sometimes more. If we go to Paris we
would expect to pay more because it's the capital but good food is
available IF you take the time to find it and stay away from tourist traps.

French cuisine is doing fine and doesn't need your help. Why not go to
Italy next time and leave us in peace

PS How long did it take you to find an article criticising it ? How many
positive ones did you discard ?
