Grains de Sucres bakery, Lyon
"They're the best in Lyon, especially when it comes to pastries", says the chef with a straight face. Founded by two former employees of Marcon's, this pastry shop in Vieux Lyon seduces with its daring creations, particularly at Christmas and Easter. "They do a lot of things, with their own creations". A passionate address, just like the people who frequent it.

Vegetables from Jardins Telluriques, Le Breuil, France
A loyal partner of Prairial, this market gardener based in the Rhône region cultivates using permaculture, in a spirit of harmony with nature. "It's very clean work, a DNA that we try to bring to the restaurant," explains Gaëtan Gentil. Here, each vegetable tells a story of soil, seasons and care.

Vegetables from Jardins de Pompoko, Creys-Mépieu
In the same spirit, Les Jardins de Pompoko embodies living, committed agriculture. "We've been working with them since we moved in a year and a half ago," says the chef, who has set up a constantly evolving collaboration with them: "We try to develop our collaboration year on year," adds Gaëtan Gentil, for whom loyalty to producers is a cardinal value.

La Boucherie Maison Bello, Lyon
The encounter dates back to the opening of Prairial, in 2015. Matured meats, organic origin, exacting selection: Bello doesn't compromise. "Historically, they have a butcher's shop in Lyon, but since then they've expanded to Megève and Luxembourg. He works with more and more professionals. A local reference that has become a must for chefs in search of excellence.

La Poissonnerie Maison Vianey, Lyon
An emblematic address in the capital of Gaules, Maison Vianey embodies heritage and excellence - MOF to boot. "We've been working with him for the past 3 years", says the chef, seduced by the quality of his offer, particularly in freshwater fish. It's a house you can trust, and one that matches Prairial's cuisine.
