The high mass of food is back in Lyon from January 19 to 23 at Eurexpo. Between 150,000 and 180,000 professional visitors are expected. With the icing on the cake: the Bocuse d’Or.
Everyone knows it for the unmissable events it hosts, and in particular the international final of the Bocuse d’Or, where excellence and culinary invention come together. This year, Sirha returns, to celebrate its 40th anniversary from January 19 to 23, more innovative and inspiring than ever, to reflect the latest impulses and exaltations in modern catering and food.
Sirha, what is it?
The Sirha in a few figures: 140,000 m2 in area, 27 countries represented, 4,000 exhibitors and brands.
A real culinary event with global reach, Sirha Lyon aims to support the major dynamics and current trends in food. In a constantly changing world, the show draws the contours of an equally fluctuating sector, according to the expectations and tastes of consumers, by becoming the theater of this effervescence.
For five days, it brings together around the same table the actors of Food Service1 and hospitality with on the menu: innovations, negotiations, cooking demonstrations, sharing, business, and collective anticipation of the future of food sectors and professions. More broadly, it is a huge stage where large-scale economic, cultural, innovation and technology issues are played out.

“Sirha Lyon is a powerful international economic tool.”
Olivier Ginon, Chairman and CEO of the GL events group
On the program, unmissable events: the long-awaited Bocuse d’Or 2023, which will see 24 candidates from as many countries compete with the Lyonnaise Naïs Pirollet who will defend Francethe Pastry World Cup, the International Catering Cup, as well as events, round tables, the Start-Up Village, exhibitions, conferences… And above all, cooking.
Moreover, in a context of energy crisis, inflation and labor shortage, this year the show has a dual objective: in addition to reporting on new transformations in the global food industry, it is a question of pay tribute and salute the courage of all its actors, heavily impacted by all the current upheavals.
How to get there ?
To enable visitors to access the Show at Eurexpo, TCL is announcing a reinforcement of the T5 line offer and the deployment of the special N100 shuttle (frequency every 6 to 7 minutes until 8 p.m. for the first and 3 to 4 minutes for the second).
Nevertheless, faced with the inter-union call for general strike for Thursday January 19, in response to the announced pension reform, disruptions are expected throughout the TCL network and should impact the N100 line which, without being completely interrupted, will see its frequency reduced. On the other hand, social movements should not, firstnot impact the traffic of the T5 tram to Eurexpo.
