GRANET SIMON

Cute little boulangerie with a great selection of pastries and breads. Come for the Croissant... stay for the praline! I'll be back later to try their baguette, which looked amazing. I brought them back to my AirBnB and gave them a bit of heat in the oven. Really good. ps. They're very nice too. ;)

My accommodation was near to this place and I visited it daily. Sometimes twice as they tended to bring out different stuff in the afternoons/evenings. One door for going inside and the exit door beside the till. Friendly staff who understood my rubbish French. The hazelnut round pastry/cake pictured is the best cake I had in my five days in Lyon (I had over 20!) it was so good and the inside was incredible combination of cake/chocolate/caramel. If I only had to a week to live, I would return to this bakery and die and happy woman. Better than the majority of bakeries in Paris I have tried (over 50). What’s available changes all the time, so if you see something you fancy, buy it!

I stayed in Lyon for two days and came here often. I tried three items: a pain au chocolat, a pistachio pastry, and a savory croissant sandwich. Everything I tasted was fresh, high-quality, and delicious. The location is central, and the prices are reasonable. The only small downside is that after getting your croissant there isn’t a place to sit or stand to eat.

Lots of to choose from, staff spoke English but also was fine with our basic French. The two policemen next to us in the queue recommended the flan which is apparently best in Lyon! It seems to be popular with the locals as there’s a steady line of patrons early on a Saturday morning.

Came for the pistachio croissant but the baguette traditional was the best I’ve had in Lyon

Maison Terrasson in Lyon is well-known for its exceptional baked goods and pastries. A standout item is the Chocolate Folie, a rich chocolate treat priced at 4.5 euros. Another highlight is the Le Parisien ham baguette, featuring generous chunks of cold butter, a delightful crusty exterior, and chewy dough. Though I did not try the burger during the visit, the patties look amazingly thick and would love to revisit and give it a shot too. The bakery's popularity means there are often long lines, so be prepared to wait before enjoying these delicious offerings.

I was impressed by the amount of variety that they had and the deliciousness of every product that I tried. The croissant and cookies would have to be my favorite, however everything else was quite good and worth trying. The service was quite kind and they spoke English and the atmosphere is of a lovely French bakery. Overall, I would strongly recommend you give it a try if you are in the area!

Maison Terrasson was named the best bakery in M6’s La Meilleure Boulangerie de France, so naturally, we had to stop by. Its location near our hotel made it an easy and frequent choice, whether for breakfast or a sweet treat during the day. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we tried. I had flan for the first time and really liked it. The folie chocolat, feuilleté au praliné, and cookies were among my favorites. I still find myself thinking about all the pastries I didn’t get to try. If we had stayed a few more days in Lyon, I’m sure we would’ve kept coming back every morning.
