In a world searching for meaning, Institut Lyfe is dedicated to reviving authenticity: passing down precision of taste, the truth of flavors, and meticulousness of craft.
Technical excellence and a sense of hospitality are our foundation, but humanism is our signature. It is this interpersonal skill and sensitivity that will guide our students and nurture their lifelong passion.
Recognized by the Ministry of Higher Education with state-approved degrees ranging from Bachelor’s to MSc (Master of Science), and built upon a unique educational signature combining academic excellence, professional expertise, and real-world immersion, Institut Lyfe is a professional school of excellence recognized by the Conférence des Grandes Écoles.
Proud of its Lyonnais roots, faithful to its heritage, and resolutely future-facing, Institut Lyfe places people at the heart of education: values of boldness, creativity, altruism, and courage that accompany students far beyond their professional journey.

Our mission is to train the talents who will shape tomorrow’s hospitality. Pavyllon Lyon fully embodies our vision: learning through experience, alongside passionate and demanding professionals.
Working alongside passion and operational excellence is the greatest opportunity for our students to turn their talent into success.
This is the vision that takes full shape within our restaurant Pavyllon Lyon.
With Pavyllon Lyon, Institut Lyfe expands its ecosystem of experimental venues with a new model: a fine-dining restaurant conceived from the ground up as a place of mentorship and real-world learning, where Chef Yannick Alléno’s gastronomic excellence, reformist vision, and spirit of innovation meet the pedagogical expertise of Institut Lyfe and the passion of its young talents.
In addition to Pavyllon Lyon, Institut Lyfe students have the unique opportunity to learn and hone their craft in direct contact with guests across several establishments: the 5-star training hotel Le Royal MGallery, the Mediterranean brasserie
La Table, the bakery and pastry shop L’Atelier, the gourmet cocktail bar Rose Garden
and the fine-dining restaurant Saisons, France’s very first training restaurant
to be awarded a Michelin star, held since 2021.
