The Michelin Guide 2026 has just released its first batch, and Lyon can already pop the champagne! Four new restaurants have made it into the official selection, five have earned a Bib Gourmand, and the capital of food lovers confirms that it remains one of France's major culinary hotspots.

This Monday, February 9th, the Michelin guide revealed 30 new addresses joining its selection for France, and Lyon secured a prime spot. While we await the star ceremony scheduled for March 16, 2026, in Monaco, these initial announcements already set the tone: the culinary scene in Lyon is more vibrant than ever. And it's no wonder...

Among these 30 new establishments discovered by inspectors, 4 Lyonnais restaurants are making their debut in the famous red guide. This prestigious recognition signifies credibility, high standards… and often full dining rooms for months. This year, Lyon also shines with a perfect balance, featuring two female chefs and two male chefs honored. It's a wonderful snapshot of the new culinary generation—bold, committed, and decidedly modern.

The Bib Gourmand, the Holy Grail for Food Lovers

The Michelin Guide doesn't forget those who love to eat well without breaking the bank, with five Bib Gourmand awards given in Lyon. This distinction honors restaurants offering quality cuisine for around 40 euros. In other words, the best possible pleasure-price ratio. And here are the 5 awarded restaurants of this prestigious title:

    • Accentué delights in the 7th with its expertly balanced spice games.
    • Cinq mains, in Old Lyon, showcases the talent of the Cuilleron brothers.
    • La Meunière, an iconic bouchon, continues to resonate with tradition.
