Sirha Lyon 2027 – Food Service & Hospitality Expo France

What to expect in 2027

Sirha Lyon 2027 will bring together foodservice, restaurant, hospitality and gastronomy professionals from around the world for five days at Eurexpo Lyon. The event is scheduled from Thursday, January 21 to Monday, January 25, 2027, with professional visitors able to attend from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM each day. Access is strictly reserved for professionals working in food, restaurant and hospitality industries.

The 2027 edition is being presented as a renewed version of Sirha Lyon, with redesigned professional pathways, new spaces and a stronger international focus. The organizer describes Sirha Lyon as a global benchmark for food service, bringing together trends, products, equipment, innovation, business meetings, demonstrations and major culinary competitions.

The scale of the event is substantial. Sirha’s official figures from the 2025 edition recorded more than 257,000 professionals, 2,300 exhibitors, 4,700 brands and 800 innovations and new products. These figures provide a useful indication of the international scale visitors can expect in 2027, although the final 2027 attendance figures will only be known after the event.

The exhibition covers food products, gourmet products, bakery and pastry, professional kitchen equipment, tableware, beverages, hospitality solutions and other parts of the foodservice supply chain. The event also includes competitions, demonstrations, expert sessions, business areas and experiential formats.

Event dates

Dates: Thursday, January 21 to Monday, January 25, 2027

Sirha Lyon 2027 will operate across five consecutive days. The official schedule confirms professional visitor access from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Venue & festival site

Venue: Eurexpo Lyon

Address: Avenue Louis Blériot, 69680 Chassieu, France

Sirha Lyon 2027 will take place at Eurexpo Lyon, the major exhibition complex located in Chassieu, within the Lyon metropolitan area. The site is approximately 20 minutes from central Lyon and around 20 minutes from Lyon-Saint Exupéry International Airport under normal conditions.

Eurexpo provides the large exhibition footprint required for Sirha Lyon’s numerous professional sectors, competition areas, stages, business spaces and experiential installations.

The exhibition floor is organized by business universe so visitors can identify relevant areas more efficiently. Official 2027 information highlights major families including gourmet products, bakery and pastry, kitchen equipment, food products and tableware.

Full food & drink programme

The complete 2027 programme is still being released, with the official website currently indicating that the detailed programme is coming soon.

Sirha Lyon’s food and beverage programme will be integrated throughout the exhibition rather than concentrated in a single food festival area. Visitors can expect product discovery, professional demonstrations, culinary presentations, specialist spaces, beverage-related activity and competition programming.

The event’s broad foodservice scope includes:

• Food and ingredient suppliers
• Gourmet products
• Bakery and pastry
• Professional kitchen equipment
• Tableware and hospitality supplies
• Wine and spirits
• Beverage products
• Restaurant solutions
• Foodservice technology
• Hospitality products
• Culinary demonstrations
• Professional competitions
• Innovation showcases

Sirha Connect will also help visitors organize their programme, search exhibitors and follow competitions in real time.

Featured foods & specialties

Sirha Lyon showcases a very broad selection of professional food products rather than focusing on one cuisine or regional specialty.

The exhibition includes products and ingredients used across restaurants, hotels, bakeries, pastry shops, catering businesses and other foodservice operations.

Visitors can expect to encounter areas connected with:

• Gourmet ingredients
• Bakery products
• Pastry ingredients and finished products
• Chocolate and confectionery
• Dairy and specialty foods
• Meat and meat products
• Seafood and prepared foods
• Snacks and convenience formats
• Regional French products
• International food products
• Premium ingredients
• Plant-based and alternative products
• Professional foodservice solutions

The current 2027 exhibitor directory already includes companies such as 100% US Beef, A Pasta, A. Darbo, Acetaia Giusti, AB Mauri France, Agrana Fruit Belgium, Agriform, Agrimontana and many other food and ingredient specialists.

Restaurants, vendors & producers

Sirha Lyon brings together suppliers, producers, manufacturers, restaurant-related businesses and foodservice brands rather than operating primarily as a public street-food festival.

The 2027 exhibitor directory already contains thousands of listings and is searchable by company, country, business sector and visitor route. The official site currently lists exhibitors ranging from food producers and ingredient suppliers to professional equipment and hospitality businesses.

Visitors can use the exhibition to discover new suppliers, compare products, speak directly with manufacturers and investigate solutions for restaurants, hotels, bakeries, catering operations and other professional businesses.

The event is therefore particularly relevant to chefs, restaurant owners, hotel operators, buyers, distributors, purchasing managers and hospitality decision-makers.

Wine, beer & beverage selection

Beverages form an important part of Sirha Lyon’s professional ecosystem. The 2025 edition introduced a dedicated wine and spirits area, providing a specific environment for beverage-sector companies and professional visitors. The organizer describes this as a place where wine, gastronomy and food-and-beverage pairing come together.

The 2027 exhibition can therefore be expected to include wine, spirits, beer, non-alcoholic beverages, mixers and other professional beverage products.

The beverage programme is intended primarily for trade professionals, allowing brands to present products, develop commercial relationships and discuss foodservice applications.

Tastings, cooking demos & workshops

Cooking demonstrations, expert presentations and experiential formats are among the important elements of Sirha Lyon. The organizer describes the programme as combining conferences, culinary demonstrations, expert interventions and international competitions.

The 2027 programme will also include major live culinary competitions, allowing visitors to watch professional chefs and pastry specialists work under competition conditions.

The official Sirha Connect application will provide programme information and allow visitors to follow competition schedules, results and highlights while also organizing meetings and navigating the exhibition.

Visitors should check the official programme once released for confirmed demonstration times, workshop subjects and individual session locations.

Ticket types & entry options

Sirha Lyon is a professional trade event rather than a general public food festival. The organizer states that access is strictly reserved for professionals working in food, restaurants and hospitality.

Registration for the 2027 edition is scheduled to open online, but the ticketing information is currently being released progressively. The official website encourages visitors to register for updates and receive notification when ticketing opens.

Professional visitors should expect badge-based access to the exhibition. The organizer also states that visitors requesting a badge can request a visa invitation letter where applicable.

Because the 2027 visitor ticket prices have not yet been published, no confirmed visitor admission price should be assumed. The official ticketing platform should be checked when registration opens.

VIP & premium experiences

Sirha Lyon offers professional and premium hospitality experiences in addition to standard exhibition access. The organizer currently highlights several specialist experiences, including Restaurant Business, Tasting Room and Omnivore Speakeasy.

Restaurant Business is designed as a high-end restaurant environment for client meetings and strategic relationship development.

Tasting Room provides a controlled product-evaluation environment where a chef and a small group of professional guests can assess products in real conditions.

Omnivore Speakeasy is described as an immersive space designed for a targeted professional audience and brand connections.

The Arena Concours is another major experience, providing a dedicated environment for the finals of the Bocuse d’Or and Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie.

Specific premium-access pricing for 2027 has not been published, so previous-edition prices should not be presented as confirmed 2027 ticket prices.

Event rules

Sirha Lyon 2027 is strictly a professional event. Visitors must meet the organizer’s professional-access requirements relating to the food, restaurant or hospitality industries.

Professional visitors should bring or have access to their registration information and event badge when entering the venue.

The organizer’s terms also state that tickets and services are subject to its general terms and conditions. Ticket prices are determined according to the rates applicable when an order is registered.

From Chambéry or Grenoble: use the A46 East Ring Road and Exit 10, then follow Boulevard des Expositions toward the South Visitor Entrance.

The official venue guidance recommends following event signage because traffic conditions can change significantly during major exhibitions.

Public transport & parking

Eurexpo Lyon is connected to Lyon’s public transport network by tram and event shuttle services.

From Lyon city centre: take Metro D to Grange Blanche, then Tram T5 towards Eurexpo Lyon.

From Lyon Part-Dieu: take Tram T3 to Vaulx-en-Velin La Soie and then the N100 Direct Eurexpo event shuttle. During the show, this shuttle is scheduled at approximately three-minute intervals.

Accommodation areas

Visitors can stay in Lyon city centre, near Part-Dieu, in Villeurbanne, around Chassieu or in other areas of the Lyon metropolitan region.

Staying near Eurexpo is convenient for visitors who want to minimize daily travel time. Central Lyon offers a larger selection of hotels, restaurants and business facilities and is well connected to the exhibition centre.

Part-Dieu is particularly practical for visitors arriving by train because Lyon Part-Dieu is a major rail and transport hub.

Sirha Lyon has partnered with Booking.com to provide a selection of accommodation options for visitors and exhibitors. Group accommodation assistance is also available for bookings involving more than five people through the organizer’s hotel services.

Food & drink highlights

Food and beverage discovery is integrated throughout the Sirha Lyon experience. Visitors can explore ingredients, finished products, professional foodservice solutions and beverage concepts while moving through the exhibition’s different business sectors.

The 2027 exhibitor directory already demonstrates the international nature of the food offering, with companies representing bakery and pastry, ingredients, gourmet products, meat, beverages and specialist culinary supplies.

A major highlight will be the live culinary competitions. The event is bringing together 27 culinary competitions in 2027, including the Bocuse d’Or, Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie, Coupe de France de la Boulangerie and International Catering Cup.

These competitions provide visitors with opportunities to observe advanced culinary techniques, professional presentation and high-level preparation in real time.

Accessibility

Eurexpo Lyon provides dedicated accessible parking facilities for visitors with reduced mobility. The official site identifies 28 reserved spaces in P3 and an additional dedicated 23-space parking area near the main entrance.

Accessible routes and venue facilities are available throughout the exhibition complex, although visitors with specific requirements should contact the organizer or venue in advance to confirm the most suitable access arrangements.

The large exhibition site can involve substantial walking, so visitors with mobility requirements may wish to plan their route in advance using the official exhibition map and Sirha Connect application.

The organizer’s digital tools can help visitors identify exhibitors and organize their itinerary before arriving.

Best days to attend

The best day to attend depends on the professional purpose of the visit because different competitions and activities are scheduled throughout the five-day event.

Thursday, January 21: The opening day is particularly useful for professionals who want to begin meetings early in the event and explore the exhibition before the later days.

Friday, January 22: This day combines exhibition access with the beginning of the International Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie, which runs January 22–23.

Saturday, January 23: A useful day for visitors interested in pastry competitions, food discovery and a full exhibition experience.

Sunday, January 24: The International Bocuse d’Or begins on January 24 and continues on January 25, making this an important competition-focused day.

Monday, January 25: The final day includes the conclusion of the Bocuse d’Or and can be useful for visitors whose schedules are focused on the competition programme or final business meetings.

For professionals primarily interested in supplier meetings, the ideal day will depend on which exhibitors and business sectors they need to visit.

Previous year’s highlights

Sirha Lyon 2025 was the 22nd edition and recorded more than 257,000 professionals, 2,300 exhibitors, 4,700 brands and 800 innovations and new products. These figures underline the international scale of the exhibition and its importance within the professional foodservice sector.

The 2025 edition also expanded its beverage offering with the introduction of a dedicated wine and spirits area. The organizer positioned this development around the relationship between gastronomy, beverage products and professional foodservice.
