Sweet, savory, raw, or crafted, the pistachio is available in all its shades here, without any additives or colorings, to the delight of curious palates.
A 100% pistachio universe

The real gem of this shop is its pistachio aperitif bar, where you can create your own custom mix from some amazing recipes: rose petals & cardamom, black pepper from Sri Lanka, smoked paprika, organic sumac, cumin & fenugreek, black garlic, za'atar… or simply enjoy them plain, sun-dried. A sensory experience that elevates happy hour to the level of culinary art.
Sweet Treats That Delight the Taste Buds
Beyond snacking, the shop is packed with sweet and savory treasures: pistachio praline to bake like a pro, artisanal cookies flavored with orange blossom or rose, Turkish delights, nougats, caramels, and also oils, vinegars, pestos, and even teas and infusions made from pistachio leaves.

It's hard to leave without falling for the Supreme Sicilian pistachio spread without sugar (€11.90 for a 200g jar). It has an incredibly smooth texture and an intense taste, without being heavy or excessive. A little tip whispered by the team: drop a spoonful into a hot coffee. Tried, approved, and even adopted!
Between a temple of indulgence and a jewel of elegance, La Maison de la Pistache stands out as the perfect spot to treat yourself, pastry with style, or find an original gift. And we’re telling you: we’ll be back soon to try one of their ice creams with the promised four varieties… because Lyon isn’t done seeing life in green.
