The Best Galettes des Rois to Try in Lyon and Its Surroundings for 2026
The Epiphany season brings with it the beloved tradition of the Galette des Rois, and Lyon’s pâtissiers are once again showcasing their creativity with a variety of delectable options. This year’s selection ventures beyond the traditional frangipane, incorporating unique flavors like chocolate, praline, candied lemon, and caramelized almonds. Here’s your comprehensive guide to the must-try galettes, including addresses, prices, and special offerings.
1. Siprès Pâtisserie (Lyon 7e)
For their first galette season, the trio of Antoine Oudinet, Alexis Trimbour, and Alexis Hostiguian at Siprès Pâtisserie are presenting a galette with a generous layer of frangipane made from toasted almond powder. Their secret? Rehydrating the preparation with prune kernel oil from Huilerie Beaujolaise, which allows them to maintain the characteristics of traditional frangipane without using artificial flavors or alcohol.
The filling is pleasantly low in sugar with a subtle almond taste reminiscent of amaretti. A special fève hidden in one of their galettes offers a chance to win a meal for two at the Siprès restaurant. A second hazelnut and candied lemon option is also available.
- Address: 39 rue de Marseille, Lyon 7e
- Prices:
- Almond frangipane: 5 euros per slice; 20 euros for 4 people; 30 euros for 6 people; 40 euros for 8 people.

His galette features an inverted puff pastry made with AOP Bresse butter and buckwheat flour. The 2026 version incorporates hazelnut for a more pronounced nutty flavor and includes a series of 20 precious fèves designed by jeweler Louise Vurpas.
