In January, gourmands love to celebrate Epiphany! On January 6, we’ll be sharing a tasty galette des rois, crispy on the outside and melt-in-the-mouth on the inside. Of course, there will be a few fights to see WHO can find the bean and be crowned King or Queen. But where can you find the best galettes des Rois in Lyon this year? Follow the guide!
Chez Antoinette, the galette des reines
This is a Lyon landmark when it comes to gourmet delights. In addition to its magnificent bread and succulent brioches, what’s also very (very, very, very) good at Chez Antoinette is the galette… des reines! The traditional recipe with almond cream! Forget the frangipane, here we respect tradition, yes, yes! Another special feature of Chez Antoinette is an assortment of homemade beans, which we can’t wait to discover in the galette on D-DAY!
📍 117 rue Sébastien Gryphe, Lyon 7
Alma by Marvin Brandao
Lyon is definitely the cradle of gourmet pleasures. Alma is a 5-star patisserie, a veritable nugget for all lovers of good things. Pastries, viennoiseries and savory breads are an absolute delight. And what about their galettes? You’ll be telling us all about them!
📍 17, rue Bugeaud Lyon 6
Maison Sève, the most sophisticated galette des rois
Maison Sève has nothing left to prove in Lyon, both for its exquisite chocolates and its sublime galette des rois. Extra-thin puff pastry is worked by hand, and Sève’s candied chestnut syrup is added to give the galette the crunch we love. Frangipane, chocolate chip or pink praline, you can choose the galette you like. Quite simply, with Maison Sève galettes, we’d like Epiphany to last an eternity!
📍 29 Quai Saint-Antoine, Lyon 2
Pain du Gone, the most surprising
The galette from Le Pain du Gone is surely the most unusual and incredible you’ll eat this January 6th! First, it’s rectangular. Secondly, it’s full of good French butter, free-range eggs and untreated flour, and that’s what we like best. Then, for Epiphany, Le Pain du Gone organizes contests to win great prizes. Last year, during a free tasting of an XXL galette, 10 beans were entered to win a Napoléon d’Or! So, shall we run?
📍 Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse, 102 Cr Lafayette F, Lyon 3
Zoï, the vegan
Zoï Kitchen is the place to go for lovers of vegan pastries. With no eggs or butter, their galette is still to die for, proving that you don’t need animal products to make VERY good things! Tasty and generous, Zoï’s galette des rois is simply delicious!
📍 46 Montée de la Grande-Côte, Lyon 1
Guillaume Flochon, the crispy galette des rois
Thin caramelized puff pastry, frangipane to die for with tiny bits of almond… A galette des rois worthy of the greatest! And it’s easy to see why, when you see Guillaume Flochon‘s incredible creations, each one more incredible than the last!
📍 26 Bis Rue Masaryk, Lyon 9
