Traveler reviews
Irene Jimenez
★★★★★4 years agoTHE best patisserie in the world. Fine and delicious desserts. A must try is the Makadan! If you’re planning on getting one for a special occasion, think of calling in advance to place your order. They are also famous for their Galette de Rois available in February, SO good. Not possible to order in advance so you have to get there early. If you’re looking for something smaller for breakfast, their “viennoseries” (croissants and Chausson aux pommes) are the best ones I’ve tried in Lyon.
