The best bakeries Lyon 69000

It's worth waiting until the end of the week and getting up early (there won't be enough for everyone), to savor the breads of Bastien Malugani. A committed baker who puts his heart and soul into his work. High-quality raw materials: pure organic cereal flour, unrefined Guérande salt, churned butter... The tedious work is made up of tricks of the hand, know-how and a raw, refined passion to be shared between two bags of flour. The Canuses baguettes are magical, as are the traboules, the seasonal fruit tarts to die for, as are the kouign-amann or kannelbullar and the croissants that would get anyone out of bed.

Antoinette makes our heads spin! Born in the ^7th arrondissement of Lyon, the queen of breads - not baguettes, but real breads at Antoinette's - continues to expand her gourmet kingdom, with 4 boutiques in Lyon, including a new one on Avenue des Frères Lumière. All you have to do is bite into a slice of homemade sourdough bread or a piece of rye bread to experience ecstasy. Crunchy crusts, melt-in-your-mouth crumbs, pure pleasure. Individual or shared brioches, not forgetting the brioche des reines.

The first bakery to be awarded the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) label in 2016 for its bread-making expertise, Maison Pozzoli is part of Lyon's gourmet heritage. A family-run business since 1977, François Pozzoli is one of the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France (Best Craftsmen in France), and has passed on his passion to a whole team spread across the 5 stores in Lyon. 100% artisanal production for traditional French baguettes, Auvergne rye bread, T80 bread, machodine - the house specialty - as well as viennoiseries and a dream panettone.

Winners of the 2023 competition for the best traditional French baguette in the Rhône region, head baker Valentin Leemans and apprentice Lucas Cognard of Boulangerie des Canuts can be proud of their achievement. And we're off to this spacious and charming bakery to savor this delicious baguette, and many other traditional French breads - tourte auvergnate, croiroussin... Extra bugnes, delicious pastries, cakes for every occasion, it's a permanent treat. Another breakfast delight: Lyon's best croissants! Sandwiches, salads and tarts for the hungry. A gourmet address to be discovered as a matter of urgency.

Charles Menetrier, who took over this veritable neighborhood institution, and Rolande do their job with rigor and passion. Their wholehearted character is reflected in the quality of the breads offered in this bakery, which has retained its old-world charm (watch your step on the way in...), with cement tiles on the floor, stained glass windows and old stonework. Breads made with organic flours, traditional breads and corn bread specialties. Pastries and viennoiseries of the same quality, for a treat from breakfast to afternoon tea, with homemade bugnes for example.

For the "old-timers", Jocteur remains the "official" baker of Paul Bocuse and one of the great masters of the tarte à la praline. Jocteur perpetuates the best of tradition. Beautiful glass roof opening onto a terrace, wood, a beautiful frieze, everything reminds us of the quality of yesteryear. A quality to be found in the breads, but also in the cakes, starting with the famous praline tarts. Breakfast for lovers and afternoon tea for the family.

Between the start of the slopes of the Croix-Rousse, the Opera and the Hotel de Ville, this Baker holds a privileged position to satisfy the holidays and the day's refuelling. But what counts, more than the ideal situation, is the quality of the products made "to the old" in an authentic baker where one likes to feel the smell of the warm bread while leaving the office. Breads of tradition, special breads that give rise to all the dishes, breads that eat themselves as these apéritives strings, bread among 200 different products offered by this exceptional establishment: chocolate biscuits and chocolate nugget, rice cakes, Boondocks, sweet dough with cooked apples, a frangipane and pistachio brioche, tasty sandwiches, such as this fresh and generous Nordic, pastries, pastries, like this white chocolate bread, but still des to unique perfumes… The good reasons to stop taking a gourmande break are many and all justified! Especially that the service is always fast and smiling. Address is unavoidable.

Simply, for the sake of the good bread! A greedy house where Christian Bouchard, whose ancestors were grain brokers, shares his passion for quality (flour without additives, natural leaven, spiral scratches…) and the authenticity of good bread by delivering the best fournées of traditional and original breads. So the stick, the "star" of the house, is prepared in "tradition" or on stone stone and each day we discover different breads: baguette 2 lovers, fruit bread (hazelnuts, apricots, grapes), rosette/hazelnuts string, bread to 2 olives, bread to bacon cubes; not to mention the "daily" of the delicious hamburgers, the organic bread, the complete and the pie, the white chocolate bread, the fougasses, the quiches, the sandwiches not missing, the panini, the Provencal laminated… You love. According to season, Christian Bouchard, gifted and inventive craftsman wearing his "house" deck, offers special breads such as this summer barbecue bread or the perfect rye-lemon with oysters. Gourmets that we are not able to silence homemade vacherin and pastries that meet the same requirements of quality and authenticity. The House of Happiness for Lovers of Good Bread.

An organic bakery in La Croix-Rousse, it seems only natural. But since there are some "obvious" addresses that you shouldn't miss, especially when their opening hours are a little off - they're only open at the end of the day - it's time to discover Paume de Pain. In this bakery, opened 7 years ago, you'll enjoy Sylvain Hanriot-Colin's marvellous natural sourdough breads. Artisan breads that smell like the breads of yesteryear and keep for a long time. Organic natural sourdough breads that take their time to crisp up and melt under your palate. Country, seed, spelt, raisin... for exceptional breads. Viennoiseries and cookies in the same spirit.

In a district of La Thib' that's home to a few gourmet nuggets, an all-green sign has blossomed with a simple name: Mado. Far from chain bakeries, Mado offers an artisanal, local vision while opening up to other cultures. It's not surprising that Charlotte - from Lyon - and Jacopo - an Italian - met in Argentina. It was a meeting that created sparks and wonders to savor: from organic flours, naturally leavened breads, golden and crispy that keep for a long time, flavored to perfection. And some of the best brioches and panettones we've ever tasted. Finally, the sublime foccacias follow the rhythm of seasonal produce. Mado, we love you big time.

As we love our craftsmen who perpetuate the tradition of a good bread, the one one would like to have every day on our table, crispy, golden, to the air mie and fragrant. The Lacorne House has not everything on the decoration, but the simplicity of the bakery puts more value in the essence of the shop, the breads. Traditional or special, they are divine and it was particularly appreciated to find at this address a black bread "German" or breads that reminded us of those of Austria. But once you've chosen your bread, it's impossible not to crack for a meringue or a slice of the day's cake. An entrance noticed in our guide.

A Gone committed to products that are well made, with love and respect for the environment, and just too good. Quentin Sany, an authentic and passionate baker, grows his own cereals in his family's fields in the Saône-et-Loire region, then grinds them on stone millstones to produce the finest breads in his Limas bakery. The kind you can keep if you don't devour them too quickly, because they're so good! And don't miss Saint-Roch, king of Pain du Gone, with its aromas of toasted seeds. Breads, viennoiseries, pastries, wraps and toast of the same quality. Respect for nature and the living, respect for products and people. Le Pain du Gone is committed to your health and your sweet tooth.

You've no doubt come across La Miecyclette on the streets of Lyon, with its cargo bike delivering delicious organic bread to professionals, local authorities and groups of individuals. La Miecyclette is featured in the Petit Futé because it delivers by bike - which is good for our lungs - breads deliciously prepared from organic products (Moulin Marion flours from the Ain region, Nature & Progrès Guérande salt...) and baked in a traditional wood-fired oven - which is good for our taste buds! A cooperative that understands what we want.

In this category, it's tricky to classify an address as a bakery rather than a patisserie, especially when it deserves to be in both! Based in the Ainay district - with a new store in Sainte-Foy - Alena and Geoffroy Terrasson run a gourmet establishment that excels in breads, viennoiseries (also marvelous!), cakes, tarts and galettes des rois (one of our favorites). As for the breads, 100% natural sourdoughs, long fermentations, organic flours, "classics" and the more surprising, a rye pie to die for... And let's not forget the pâtés croûtes d'une maison gourmande.
