I decided to create Délisse a few years ago when, as a CBD worker recently relocated from France, I realized how hard it was to find an affordable and indulgent place for lunch, serving fresh and tasty food, in the CBD. During the weekend, I could access a great range of fantastic products, but during the week around my office, I could not find anything.
I developed a concept where excellent food could be offered to office workers by creating Chef recipes prepared with the best ingredients in each category (bread, pastries, coffee, cheeses, charcuterie etc…) – exactly the type of products you would find in a French food market.
Délisse is a tribute to the cuisines from southern Europe countries. The name comes from the French city I grew up in, Rennes, which is renowned for hosting one of the best food markets in France called “Le Marché des Lices”.
In a nutshell, Délisse is the result of a marriage of an authentic French food market and a trendy Australian cafe.
