Viola's genuine Vieux-Lyon bouchon, not a Saint-Jean tourist trap

Daniel et Denise Créqui
Joseph Viola's MOF flagship, the bouchon raised to high craft
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
The original Daniel et Denise on rue de Créqui, run by Meilleur Ouvrier de France Joseph Viola, is the gold standard for the upgraded bouchon. The world-champion pâté-croûte alone is worth the trip, and the quenelle, tête de veau and andouillette all carry MOF rigour without losing the convivial bistro warmth. The benchmark for what a bouchon can be at its best.
Editor's Tip
Book ahead. The award-winning pâté en croûte is the signature; this is the flagship of Viola's three Lyon bouchons.
