India’s luxury grocery store Le Gourmet, and Le Café by L’Opéra, recently celebrated the art of taste with a select gathering of diplomats, tastemakers, and influencers at The Chanakya, New Delhi.
Guests were treated to an evening that blended handpicked ingredients, French-inspired culinary artistry, and immersive experiences—all designed to ignite the senses.
From Swiss chocolates by Le Chocolat Suisse and handcrafted charcuterie boards to champagne-caviar pairings and premium seafood, the display had it all. Signature offerings like Bacha Coffee and artisanal breads showcased the exclusivity that Le Gourmet offers.
Rather than mere product demonstrations, guests were invited to discover the provenance and story behind each ingredient. Le Café by L’Opéra set the tone with a tasting menu of refined French-inspired canapés—think Beetroot & Goat Cheese Choux and Olive Tapenade Quiche—alongside mains such as Sun-dried Tomato & Mascarpone Risotto and Mediterranean Chicken & Olive Pizza, all fresh from their wood-fired oven. Desserts like the whimsical Apple Bubble and Dubai Kunafa Bonbon indicated a new paradigm in experiential dining.
Live cello music and signature cocktails elevated the atmosphere, embodying Le Gourmet’s vision of experiences over mere transactions.
“We believe every ingredient in our store has a story,” said Ritesh Kumar of DS Group. “This soirée showcased our commitment to authenticity, artistry, and bringing global flavours together in ways that remain true to their heritage.”
