In January, gourmets love to celebrate Epiphany! On January 6, we’ll be sharing a tasty galette des rois, crisp 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?
Chez Antoinette
This is a Lyon landmark when it comes to gourmet delights. In addition to its magnificent bread and succulent brioches, Antoinette’s galettes are also very good… for queens! It’s a traditional recipe with almond cream. Forget the frangipane, here we respect tradition, yes yes. Another special feature of Chez Antoinette is an assortment of artisan beans, which we can’t wait to discover in the galette on D-DAY.
đź“Ť 117 rue SĂ©bastien Gryphe, Lyon 7
Dorner Frères
Here’s another must-have for the new year’s galette des rois. Dorner Frères, which has been in our ranking of Lyon’s best galettes for some time now, continues the trend in 2026 with this classic, yet oh-so-good galette. Truly one of our best.
đź“Ť 91 Boulevard des Belges, Lyon 6
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!
đź“Ť 17, rue Bugeaud Lyon 6
Maison Sève
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 the syrup made from Sève’s own marrons glacĂ©s gives 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!
đź“Ť 29 Quai Saint-Antoine, Lyon 2
Pain du Gone
Le Pain du Gone once again offers a different take on the game with this brioche des rois, which looks simply incredible. The brand, accustomed to doing things differently (in previous years they’ve offered a brioche with candied fruit or a rectangular galette), continues to outdo us once again. What better way to start the year with originality!
đź“Ť Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse, 102 Cr Lafayette F, Lyon 3
Guillaume Flochon
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!
đź“Ť 26 Bis Rue Masaryk, Lyon 9
