Founded in 1953 by Maurice Bernachon, the Bernachon pastry shop in Lyon is now run by the third generation: Philippe as chocolatier, Stéphanie overseeing sales, and Candice managing the tearoom with her mother. Bernachon offers a range of classic French desserts, including the renowned chocolate cake Gateau President, which was also served in Paul Bocuse's restaurant. Specialties include the Tarte aux Fraises, Eclairs, and Mille-Feuilles, as well as the citrus-infused Cake à l'Orange and the rich, fruity Cake aux Fruits Confits. Each creation, from gourmet cakes to intricate entremets, showcases the family’s dedication to quality. The Bernachon family also takes pride in using locally sourced ingredients, such as cherries from the Lyonnais region, which they candy themselves. The artisanal approach shines through in every creation at Pastry Shop Bernachon, making it a cherished institution in Lyon's culinary scene.
