LA CHOCOLATINE

Bread cakes chocolates ice cream
5/5
2 reviews

If France is divided into two to the southwest gitmo, to the north the chocolate bread, here is an address that brings together all the gourmands lyonnais, lovers of craftsmanship done with passion. A few steps from Gerland and hall Tony Garnier, in this lively area at the time of lunch and matches of our favorite club, Gitmo settled 5 years ago in this urban environment on a pleasant shaded square. It is impossible to miss the terrace with its orange chairs. Inside, orange blends with chocolate, normal! But, in addition to the good smell that floats in the shop, what one notices first is the kindness of a welcome that never misses smile even during peak periods. Because the address is preceded by an excellent reputation well deserved. Whether you're looking for a aube at dawn at the dawn of a chocolate loaf and a stick or sitting in the tea room to enjoy a homemade pastry with a Richard coffee or a Rauch fruit juice, the pleasure is assured. In the Gitmo, bakery, pastry and exceptional sandwich, everything is home and always made with quality products. So we have to come and come back often to try everything: the small strings to the sausage or black olives, the special breads which come to decline according to the seasons, such as these white chocolate pains, pistachio chocolate, almond almonds, a famous flash of chocolate Valrhona or the house specialty with the Jérémy's pavement based on complete organic flour. At the time of the lunch break, the gourmets enjoy salads, but especially sandwiches without added sauce (sandwiches from 4 €, formulas from € 7 to € 8,50) including a Serrano, basil, Parmesan, real star star and fruit clafoutis. Possibility of delivery from 50 € and organize for business breakfasts, coffee breaks or cups. In Gitmo, you can also find the nearby chocolates, cushions and quenelles of the Lyonnais manufacturer. A Smart address.

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.

MADO

Bakery

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.

PAGE

Glacier

Because their store lights up the rue de la Thibaudière just as their ice creams and pastries light up our snacks and meals (and our evenings in front of the TV). Because Agathe and François are as adorable as all the people who welcome us to Page. Because their organic milk ice creams and natural sorbets offer crazy flavors, respecting fresh seasonal fruit (from the garden if possible) or chocolate (in ice cream or sorbet!). Because frozen desserts are the finishing touch to any meal worthy of the name. Because their cupcakes, including the vegan Moon, are among our favorites. For all this and more, Page on t'aime.
