International Gastronomy Conference
October 2nd & 3rd 2026, Lyon, France

"Or how to become an accomplished gastronomer"
Grimod, Brillat & Nous
There is fine dining, and then there is gastronomy. A good eater, even a gourmet, will never be a gastronome as long as recipes aren't followed by epistles, as long as the fork isn't followed by the pen.
Gastronomy is thus the fruit of the Enlightenment, the result of reflexion. But it could not have been embodied and passed down to us without its founders, Grimod de La Reynière and Brillat-Savarin.
