On the island of Nantes, a stone's throw from the Elephant, an exceptional pastry shop has opened where Sabrina, a naturopath by training, and her husband Grégory Lejeune, a pastry chef, work. They both decided to combine their respective passions around this daring and very successful project. This establishment also gives pride of place to creative, healthy and natural pastries. This alternative pastry shop favours the senses: sight, because "you eat first with your eyes", as Sabrina says, and taste, with flavours such as the pears poached in hibiscus juice in the Déli'biscus (sweet pastry, organic vanilla diplomat), the circle of spirulina on the organic vanilla and white chocolate cabbage. The creations, as pretty as they are tasty, are less sweet because they are made exclusively with natural sugars (for example coconut blossom sugar) with a low glycemic index (ideal for diabetics and gourmets who have to be careful), such as the matcha green tea macaroons, with no additives or artificial colourings, with certified organic French flours, as well as non-hybridized and gluten-free flours. The approach is delicate and healthy, ethical and responsible because it favours local and seasonal products. Délicatessaine is also a tea room where you can sit and drink tea or coffee. And you can also enjoy home-made chocolate bars. And as soon as possible, educational workshops will be offered to learn how to bake lighter.
