Tea has opened the way to human exchanges. Human & Tea, a Lyon-based company created by Nathalie and Daniel Cotte, offers about a hundred teas. Home-made creations created in the manner of a perfume. You don't need to be an expert to discover the flavors under a bell jar at the amazing olfactory table that allows us to meet the teas. Meeting, sharing, exchange. These are key words to understand the Human & Tea philosophy. Simplicity, pleasure, well-being, other words to describe our experience at this bewitching address.

On a quay where market stalls remind us of fresh produce, this crèmerie-fromagerie is a delight to visit, with Pierre at the helm. In a warm setting of exposed stonework, Pierre and Jérémy always offer a warm welcome, and are always on hand to help you fill your market basket with a selection of the best seasonal cheeses (yes, cheese is seasonal too!), ripened just as they should be. This winter, we loved the choice of raclettes, but the great discoveries multiply with each visit, with cheeses from here and from all over the world. Cheese, charcuterie and wine pairings, and custom-made platters.

Lyon's gastronomy owes part of its renown to Maison Reynon. Founded in 1937, this family-run charcuterie offers the very best, perpetuating the tradition of artisanal production of the famous Lyon sausages and many other local specialties: authentic Lyon sausages, dry sausages, rosettes, Jésus de Lyon, cooked sausages, pistachio cervelas, cervelas with morels and truffles, homemade quenelles... Catering service of the same quality for a house that is part of the city's gastronomic heritage.

Without" is often better for our health. But how can we keep the pleasure of "with", keep the flavors while eliminating the deleterious effects on our health, when we're talking about wines, beers and spirits whose very essence is to be alcoholic beverages? Karsk, named after a Norwegian cocktail made with coffee and gin, is a new kind of cellar that offers a "non-alcoholic" alternative to those who want to drink differently. In addition to specialty coffees, Rudy Guittard offers de-alcoholized wines - of all colors - sparkling wines and 0% spirits, including gins and rums, as well as cocktails to be enjoyed without moderation. Tastings and cocktail workshop.

Maison Antoine may no longer be located on Quai Saint-Antoine, but it's still firmly established on this corner of Rue de la Charité. A beautiful gourmet showcase full of natural light, with large bay windows and a small terrace just a stone's throw from Place Bellecour for a gourmet break. A Maison Antoine that breaks away from the codes of the traditional tearoom to offer a range of tasty snacks, from sandwiches to poke bowls. Pastries that combine flavor and beauty with subtly revisited classics, some of the city's best viennoiseries and breads made from regional flours. From gourmet breakfasts to shareable snacks.

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.
