It took me four times to finally try the very famous brioches feuilletées (brioche made from puff pastry) made by Suzanne Bar à Brioches. The first time was when I went to buy the bread at the next-door boulangerie. Two following — when I passed by, but it was always later in the day, the moment they were closed. The fourth was the lucky one, and luck it was indeed, as I did manage to try much more than just one thing. And, no matter what I tried, all was made to perfection and, at the same time, not too sweet and overpowering.

Not only is their produce fantastic, but also their work ethic as they use the highest quality ingredients such as AOP butter, AOC flour, and other products from the Rhône-Alpes region. Although their fame does rely on their sexy little filled brioches, one needs to remember that there is so much more to taste there, for example, croissants, pain au chocolat bicolore, stunning chausson aux pommes with caramel, open croissants with unimaginable fillings, pain suisse (puff pastry filled with vanilla cream and chocolate chips) and so many babkas. There is not a thing that is something that you would not wish to try.

Located in the 3rd arrondissement of Lyon, this place does ask for some time, to get there — either by metro or on foot, yet, that is the way to discover not only the city centre but the authentic taste of Lyon.
