Hi people
Wow it’s been a while since I’ve had the time to write a Délice update. 2 restaurants…whose crazy idea was that? Oh yes, mine! I am a self confessed workaholic but the holiday period was like cramming for your finals on a daily basis! Late nights followed by too early mornings, living off caffeine and meals on the run made college a not so distant memory (although I’ve opted to skip the revolving dancefloors and drinking games this time round!)
Luckily the pace has eased this last week and we’re all getting the time to gather stock, rest and become human beans again. We’ve even had time to put our creative heads together and come up with some events at Le Délice to lure you Chamoniards down the valley and to get you Les Houchiards out of your slippers on these cold days and into our fine restaurant.
The new winter menu’s a total cracker this year and in addition to this we’re going to offer some extra menu events a couple of days a week, so…
MONDAY NIGHT is now STEAK NIGHT 6-10pm
Due to popular request we’ve decided to offer a different steak cut each week which will rotate (entrecote/rump/filet etc) with a choice of 2 sauces, served with homemade onion rings, hand cut chips and salad. It will be priced according to the type of cut but it will always be a great quality/price ratio. This week it was 17.50€ for a 200g entrecote steak.
THURSDAY NIGHT is now BURGER NIGHT 6-10pm
As our homemade Délice burger is such a big hit we thought we’d embrace its popularity and offer some other burger options on a Thursday night (Mushroom and blue cheese, goats cheese and red pepper to name a couple of the options)
To launch this night our first Burger Thursday, the 19th Jan, we’re offering for every burger ordered you can have a second half price. So team up with a mate and come and indulge!
We will be serving our usual full evening menu on both of these evenings, you can peruse it on this site
Happy New Year to you all, here’s wishing you all success, love and laughter in 2012

There’ll be a whole new delicious menu concocted my our head chef Louise, but don’t worry we’ll still have the rhubarb and vanilla cheesecake, the Délice burger and a few other classics that are back by popular request.

Hey all, we’re back and preparing to open for the summer. It all kicks off this Friday 10th at 5pm with an extended happy hour till 8pm and our new tasty menu. We’ll be open everyday thereafter from 11am – 1am, serving food all day and night. We’re welcoming back some old faces, with the return of Lou, Jackie, Claire and Jo and we’ll be introducing a couple of new ones, with the arrival of Aine, Ellie and Hugo.
Lou and Jackie have been putting their creative heads together and have a new flavour filled menu for you plus a load of fresh ideas. Soya milk for coffees, loyalty cards for regulars, new decor to name but a few. They’re keen to run some events and special menu evenings so watch this space for what’s upcoming.
We’ve decided for the summer to drop our happy hour prices to..
2€ for a demi stella or glass of house wine, (that’s 4€ a pint hey builders!!)
..to get you all onto our sunny (although not today!) terrace between 4 and 6pm everyday.
I hope you’ve all had a restful interseason,
We look forward to catching up with you on Friday
Katy and the Délice crew
Hey all, we’re back and preparing to open for the summer. We’re welcoming back some old faces, with the return of Lou, Jackie, Claire and Jo and we’ll be introducing a couple of new ones, with the arrival of Aine and Ellie. So yes, as you see, unintentionally (promise!) we have an all girls team! We are still hoping to recruit another chef, males welcome, although must own ear defenders!
There’ll be an exciting new menu plus a load of fresh ideas from our resident manager, Jackie. Watch this space for what’s coming up and don’t forget we’re opening this Friday 10th June at 5pm…
We’re winding down for the end of the season at this end of the valley and life is taking a gentler pace. Considering I’m working less it’s amazing how there’s still not enough hours in the day to tackle that backlog of paperwork what with all the leaving/birthday/end of season shenanigans to fit in! The end is in sight though and rest for the body, mind and liver is near, at least I hope so.
We’re closing up the restaurant this Tuesday 26th April until the 10th June. We thought we’d hold out until the Winter Sessions tornado has done its damage, thinking that you might all be in need of a calm chill on the terrace with a nice glass of wine and some delicious home cooking by then.
For our last 2 nights (tomorrow, Monday 25th, and Tuesday 26th April) we’ve decided to sell off all our food at a huge 25% off the usual price. This’ll be your last chance to sample this winters menu (the amazing sticky toffee pud, scallops with sweet potato and wasabi pea purée, the tikka lamb with len til dahl and all those other top sellers Lou created) as we’ll be doing our usual overhaul of the menu for the summer.
In addition on the Tuesday we’ll have an extended happy hour all evening.
Looking forward to a final fling with you all, I hope some of you can make it down, it would be lovely to celebrate our last shift with the usual suspects.
