Le Café
Introduced by L’Opéra, the well-known French patisserie, bakery and Salon de Thè chain in Delhi, Le Café brings a new layer of warmth, finesse, and versatility to the brand’s presence in the capital. While it reflects L’Opéra’s signature aesthetic and excellence, Le Café introduces versatility to the brand’s portfolio. It offers everything from hearty breakfasts and classic French soups to curated desserts and hand-rolled pastas. A true celebration of culinaire, each dish is made fresh at the outlet.
The menu is a sophisticated blend of comfort and innovation—think truffle-laced cappellacci, delicate risottos, wholesome barley and avocado salads, and artisanal pizzas. The patisserie remains a visual and gustatory highlight, featuring L’Opéra’s iconic creations like the Opera and St. Honoré, alongside indulgent novelties such as the Truffle & Hazelnut Éclair, raspberry-flowered Red Daisy, and Suisse Pistachio viennoiserie. The menu caters to varied dietary preferences—vegetarian, gluten-free, and protein-rich options, with a focus on fresh, organic, and locally sourced produce.
Speaking on the launch, Laurent Samandari, Founder & Managing Director of L’Opéra, said, “With Le Café, we wanted to create a space where every detail—from the aroma of fresh bread to the last spoon of risotto—reminds you of the quiet pleasures of French living. It’s our way of bringing a little Paris to your daily life.”
Le Gourmet is open daily from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM at The Chanakya, New Delhi.
