Rhone Alpes Food & Drink

© MAISON DE LA FRANCE - Jean-François Tripelon
In mountain areas such as Savoie, fondue, raclette and tartiflette are the most famous local recipes. There are many more tasty mountain dishes, based around local cheeses (Emmental, Beaufort), potatoes, onions, garlic, cabbage and bacon/pork. A white Savoie wine compliments the rich food perfectly. Then, in complete contrast, there are truffles, olive oil and garlic from Drome and the southern lowlands, while Beaujolais wine comes from the north, and Côtes du Rhone from the south. For the sweeter tooth, nougat and chocolates have a tradition here, too.
