Soupe à l'Oignon Gratinée
£9.50
The quintessential Parisian bistro starter. We slowly caramelize sweet onions for hours in a rich, house-made beef and chicken broth, deglazing with dry vermouth and brandy to build layers of profound flavor. The soup is ladled into a ceramic crock, topped with a thick slice of toasted baguette, and generously covered in grated Gruyère AOP cheese before being broiled to a bubbling, golden-brown perfection. It arrives with its cheesy crust intact, a comforting and deeply savory experience that warms the soul. Its history is as rich as its taste, evolving from a simple peasant dish to a beloved classic celebrated worldwide. Our version respects this heritage with uncompromising attention to detail.

Escargots de Bourgogne
£12.00
A true delicacy from the Burgundy region. We use plump, tender escargots, meticulously prepared and poached before being returned to their shells. Each one is smothered in a vibrant, intensely aromatic butter infused with finely chopped fresh parsley, multiple cloves of potent garlic, and a hint of shallot. They are baked until the butter is bubbling furiously and the entire kitchen is filled with its incredible aroma. We provide extra baguette slices specifically for 'mopping up' every last drop of the precious garlic butter. This is a bold, unapologetic, and unforgettable start to any French meal, a rite of passage for the adventurous gourmand. A true taste of rustic French luxury that connects you to centuries of culinary tradition.

Boeuf Bourguignon
£24.00
Julia Child called it "certainly one of the most delicious beef dishes concocted by man," and we wholeheartedly agree. Our rendition of this Burgundian masterpiece uses prime cuts of British beef chuck, seared to a deep brown before being slow-braised for over six hours in a full-bodied Burgundy red wine, along with our own veal stock, aromatic vegetables, and a 'bouquet garni'. Towards the end of the cooking, we add pearl onions and smoked lardons that have been crisped, and mushrooms sautéed in butter. The result is meat that is fork-tender and a sauce that is glossy, complex, and intensely flavorful. It is the epitome of French comfort food, a rich and rewarding dish that requires patience and love to perfect. We serve it ready to be gently reheated, its flavors having deepened overnight.

Confit de Canard, Pommes Sarladaises
£26.50
A specialty of Gascony, this dish is a testament to the ancient art of preservation. We cure high-quality duck legs in a mixture of salt, garlic, and thyme for 24 hours. They are then rinsed and gently poached in their own rendered fat for several hours until the meat is succulent and almost falling off the bone. For delivery, we package the confit leg separately, ready for you to pan-sear or roast for the final step, achieving that famously shatteringly crisp, golden skin. It is served with its traditional accompaniment: 'Pommes Sarladaises'—thinly sliced potatoes pan-fried to perfection in duck fat with garlic and fresh parsley. The contrast between the crisp skin, tender meat, and savory potatoes is simply sublime. This is French country cooking at its most refined and delicious.

Crème Brûlée à la Vanille
£8.50
The classic custard dessert, defined by its delightful textural contrast. Ours is a rich, luscious baked custard made with heavy cream, egg yolks, and infused with the tiny seeds from a genuine Tahitian vanilla bean, renowned for its floral and cherry-like aroma. The custard is chilled until perfectly set. To ensure the ultimate experience at home, we provide the uncooked sugar topping in a separate packet. You simply sprinkle it over the custard and use a kitchen torch or your oven's grill to achieve that iconic, hard caramel crust that cracks so satisfyingly under the spoon. This final step, performed by you, ensures the caramel is warm and crisp against the cool, smooth custard below. It's an interactive dessert that is both simple and profoundly elegant.

Mousse au Chocolat Valrhona
£9.00
This is not your average chocolate mousse. We use only Valrhona Guanaja 70% dark chocolate, prized by pastry chefs for its intense, complex cocoa flavor and low sweetness. The chocolate is melted and carefully folded into a 'pâte à bombe' (a base of egg yolks cooked with sugar syrup) and then lightened with gently whipped cream. The result is a mousse that is impossibly airy and light in texture, yet incredibly deep and powerful in flavor. It is a pure, unadulterated celebration of high-quality chocolate. Served chilled, it's a sophisticated and intensely satisfying conclusion to your meal. It's a testament to the idea that with the finest ingredients, simplicity can be the ultimate form of luxury. A small portion is all that's needed to leave a lasting impression.
ContactThe Foundation of Flavor: Our Ingredients
At Le Délice Parisien, we believe that a dish can only be as good as its weakest ingredient. This is why our sourcing philosophy is the cornerstone of our entire culinary operation. It is a meticulous, passion-driven process that honors the French concept of 'terroir'—the unique combination of soil, climate, and culture that gives food its distinct character. We have built a dual-sourcing model that provides the best of both worlds: peak-freshness local produce and irreplaceable French artisanal products. For our vegetables, herbs, and some of our meats, we partner with a select group of small-scale, organic farms in the British countryside. This not only reduces our carbon footprint but ensures that the produce we use is harvested at its absolute peak, bursting with flavor and vitality. Our chef, Jean-Luc Moreau, maintains personal relationships with these farmers, often collaborating on what to grow seasonally to best complement our menu.
However, some flavors are simply non-negotiable and intrinsically French. For these, we import directly from a network of trusted 'petits producteurs' (small producers) across France. Our 'Beurre d'Isigny AOP' comes from Normandy, a cultured butter with a distinctive hazelnut note that transforms our pastries and sauces. Our lentils are the 'Lentilles Vertes du Puy AOP', grown in the volcanic soil of Auvergne, which gives them a unique, peppery flavor and firm texture. Our chickens for the Coq au Vin are sourced from Bresse, and our olive oil comes from a small grove in Nyons. This commitment extends to every item, from the mustard of Dijon to the sea salt from Guérande. This obsessive approach to sourcing is not the easy path, but it is the only path to achieving true authenticity. It is a difference you can taste in the complexity of a sauce, the flakiness of a pastry, and the simple perfection of a vegetable side. It is our promise to you that every bite is a true and honest reflection of its origins.
Chef Moreau's Special of the Week
Homard Thermidor pour Deux
£75.00 (Serves Two)
This week, Chef Moreau presents a dish of pure Parisian opulence: Lobster Thermidor. A whole native lobster is gently poached, the succulent meat removed from the shell and diced. It's then enveloped in an extravagant, creamy sauce made from egg yolks, brandy, and Dijon mustard, enriched with the lobster's own tomalley. This mixture is returned to the lobster shell, blanketed with Parmesan cheese, and gratinated to a golden hue. This is a dish of celebration, a symbol of classic French haute cuisine created at the turn of the 20th century. We handle all the complex preparation; you simply perform the final broil at home for a spectacular restaurant-quality main course. Available only this week, while supplies of fresh native lobster last. A truly unforgettable dining experience.

The Art and Soul of Our Method
The "why" behind the deliciousness of French cuisine lies in its time-honored techniques. These are not just cooking steps; they are rituals passed down through generations, refined in the demanding kitchens of France's greatest chefs. At Le Délice Parisien, we are custodians of this craft. When you order our Boeuf Bourguignon, you taste the magic of braising—a slow, moist-heat cooking method that transforms tougher cuts of meat into something meltingly tender while creating a profoundly deep sauce. The art of the saucier, or sauce-maker, is central to our kitchen. We build our foundational stocks—veal, chicken, fish—from scratch, simmering bones and vegetables for hours, even days, to extract every nuance of flavor. These stocks are the lifeblood of our sauces, which are then patiently reduced and enriched. Our Confit de Canard is a product of confit, an ancient preservation method where duck is slow-cooked in its own fat, resulting in unparalleled succulence. For modern precision, we embrace sous-vide cooking for certain delicate items like fish or chicken breasts, ensuring they are cooked to the exact perfect temperature every single time, guaranteeing consistency and quality. Even our vegetables are treated with reverence, using techniques like blanching to lock in color and texture. This fusion of ancient art and modern science is our secret. It's a labor of love, a commitment to process, and the invisible ingredient in every dish we serve.

Dine with Confidence: Allergen & Dietary Guide
Your well-being is of paramount importance to us. While traditional French cuisine is celebrated for its use of butter, cream, and gluten, we are committed to accommodating the dietary needs of our customers wherever possible. Each dish on our website features a detailed list of ingredients and highlights the 14 major allergens, including celery, cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, lupin, milk, molluscs, mustard, nuts, peanuts, sesame seeds, soya, and sulphur dioxide. We encourage you to carefully review these before ordering. Our kitchen handles all allergens, and while we take meticulous care to prevent cross-contamination through dedicated preparation zones and protocols, we cannot guarantee a 100% allergen-free environment for those with severe allergies. For specific dietary requirements, such as vegetarian or gluten-free preferences, please look for dedicated icons on our menu or use our filtering system. We have developed specific, equally delicious versions of some classics to cater to these needs. If you have any questions or concerns about an ingredient or our preparation methods, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team before placing your order. We are here to help you make informed and delicious choices with complete peace of mind.

We use state-of-the-art, sustainable packaging designed to maintain optimal food temperature and quality. Hot dishes are sent in insulated, oven-safe containers, while chilled items are kept cool with non-toxic gel packs. Everything is sealed for safety and freshness. Our packaging is 100% recyclable or compostable.
Do I need to do any cooking myself?
Most of our dishes are delivered fully cooked and simply require gentle reheating. We provide clear, simple instructions for each dish to ensure you achieve a perfect, restaurant-quality result at home. For certain dishes, like our Crème Brûlée or Confit de Canard, there is a final, simple step (like caramelizing the sugar or searing the skin) that you perform to guarantee the best possible texture, which we believe makes the experience even more special.
What is your delivery range and cost?
We currently deliver within a 15-mile radius of central London. The delivery fee is calculated based on your distance from our kitchen and is clearly displayed at checkout before you confirm your order. Orders above a certain value (currently £100) qualify for free delivery.
