Why it matters
Sirha Lyon is the world's leading food-service and hospitality trade event and the sector's January reference point: five days at Eurexpo bringing together French and international HoReCa buyers, distributors, chefs, culinary schools and equipment, ingredient, bakery and beverage suppliers. The Bocuse d'Or and Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie finals, traditionally staged at the show, add global media and chef attention. For suppliers it is the single most efficient route into the French market and a large share of European gastronomy buyers in one trip; for buyers it concentrates new launches, equipment and ingredient innovations into one venue in a city that is itself France's gastronomic capital.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Kitchen labour shortages and automation
Plant-forward and alcohol-free menus
Sustainability, food waste and provenance
Digitalisation of the dining room and delivery
Premiumisation of bakery, pastry, coffee and drinks
Sirha Lyon sits in a biennial January slot at the head of the food-service calendar and is traditionally paired with the Bocuse d'Or and Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie finals. Buyers and suppliers building a European or global sourcing circuit typically pair it with Anuga (Cologne, autumn odd years), HostMilano (Milan, autumn odd years), SIAL Paris (Paris, autumn even years), Gulfood (Dubai, February) and the US National Restaurant Association Show (Chicago, May).

Greetings, language and business etiquette
Open with 'Bonjour' before any request — it is expected. Handshakes are standard in business; French is preferred with suppliers, so bring bilingual materials or a French-speaking colleague. Appointments and agendas are usually more formal than in the UK/US, and punctuality matters.
Tipping and paying
Service is included by law in French restaurants and cafés ('service compris'). Rounding up the bill or leaving 5–10% for good service is appreciated but not obligatory; check the bill to make sure service is not listed as a separate line.
Dining hours and dress
Business lunches run roughly 12:00–14:00 and dinners rarely start before 19:30. Lyon is France's gastronomic capital, and smart-casual to business attire is the norm for show days, restaurant meetings and after-show networking.
Registration and show-floor access
Badges are nominative — pre-register online with your company details and carry photo ID for collection. Eurexpo involves significant walking between halls, and bag checks apply at entrances, so arrive 30–45 minutes before your first meeting.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Friday 22 January 2027 (day 2 of 5)
Sirha runs five days (Thu 21 – Mon 25 Jan 2027) at Eurexpo. Opening day draws the largest crowds, while day 2 combines a fully live programme with better access to exhibitor teams and shorter queues. Competitions, finals and award ceremonies traditionally cluster later in the week and on the final days, so visitors whose priority is the Bocuse d'Or or pastry finals should add a weekend or final-Monday visit as well. Confirm the published session and competition schedule with the organiser before locking travel.
Confirm passport validity and check France and Schengen entry requirements — Ensure your passport is valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned stay for Schengen entry.
Check whether you need a Schengen visa for France — If a visa is required for your nationality, apply through the French consulate or visa centre well before travel.
Book flights into Lyon (LYS) — Aim to arrive by January 20, 2027 to be ready for the January 21 opening at Eurexpo Lyon.

Complete online visitor registration for Sirha Lyon 2027 — Register on the official Sirha Lyon portal and save or print your badge confirmation.
Download the hall plan and event programme — Review the exhibitor list and session schedule to plan your time in the halls at Eurexpo.
Request B2B meetings with target exhibitors — Pre-book appointments with the food service and equipment suppliers you most want to meet.
Shortlist conference sessions, culinary demos, and competitions — Note the times of key sessions and demos so they do not clash with your buyer meetings.
Plan local transport to Eurexpo Lyon — Check tram, bus, and shuttle options plus taxi or ride-hail links from central Lyon to the venue.
Prepare business cards, buyer materials, and note-taking tools — Carry business cards and a charged phone or tablet for capturing contacts and notes.
