Pâtisserie Rolancy is a Croix-Rousse institution, nestled on the lively main street of the district. Behind a discreet storefront lies a true temple of indulgence, founded more than 30 years ago by Alain Rolancy, Meilleur Ouvrier de France in pastry — yes, that's right.
Exceptional expertise
Since 2023, the establishment has passed the torch to David Anastassios, executive chef trained by Rolancy himself, who perpetuates the tradition of excellence while adding his own signature touch. Here, everything is a matter of precision and passion. The selection is generous and varied: fine pastries, viennoiseries, macarons, chocolates, confectionery—and even ice cream. The house specialties remain the mille-feuille with its impeccable puff pastry, the pink praline tart (a quintessential Lyonnaise specialty), the verbena-raspberry religieuse, and the polonaise, classics revisited with remarkable flavor.
The experience in store
The welcome is warm, the displays make you want to try everything—and that's precisely the danger. Each pastry boasts a rare balance of sweetness, an elegance that is never ostentatious. You inevitably leave with your arms full, and without the slightest regret.
A must-visit address
Whether you're a local or just passing through, Pâtisserie Rolancy is well worth a visit. This establishment has stood the test of time without ever compromising its high standards. A true gourmand's word.
