The new look Chateaubriant: with authentic French bread, and cheeses, invigorating coffee and tasty French treats served by charming staff. Purveyor of ‘Specialités Francaises’ – it’s a little slice of France on the North Shore.

Popular at the Saturday brunch scrum when shop plus pavement are both filled with locals starting the morning with coffee and a little bite of France.

You’ll find everything from a warm baguette with ‘a deliciously unctuous smoked liver pâté’, or a runny, rich unpasteurised Brie, or a Croque Monsieur made with a croissant.

Leisurely paced preparation of your coffee allows you to indulge in an indepth exploration of what else is on offer. Free-range chickens; plastic wrapped meat cuts; saucisse from the chiller; bread avec toppings; plus rich & luxurious containers of confit de canard. Also, heat-and-eat meals in the freezer, meatballs in fab-looking sauces, a smoked trout dish, a lasagne, braises of lamb.

Located at the refurbished Vauxhall Shops near Devonport, Chateaubriant Cafe & Deli was formerly known as Pyrénées.
