Café du Jardin offers a curated selection of freshly prepared light meals, artisanal French bakery and patisserie, refreshing beverages
L’Opéra, Delhi’s premier French pâtisserie and salon de thé, in collaboration with the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), inaugurated Café du Jardin at Asita Park. More than 300 guests, including 11 ambassadors, 30 diplomats, senior government officials, cultural patrons, business leaders, nature enthusiasts, and families, marked the celebration of Delhi’s evolving riverfront culture.
Nestled within 197 hectares of revitalised green landscapes, Café du Jardin offers an elegant open-air dining destination designed to bring people closer to nature while creating a serene space for community and cultural engagement.
Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, Vinai Kumar Saxena, remarked, “This café is another step forward in bringing people closer to their river. Made of fully biodegradable structures, it provides Delhi with an accessible, modern riverfront it has long been deprived of.”
Dr Kazem Samandari, Executive Chairman, L’Opéra, said, “With Café du Jardin at Asita, we have created a unique outdoor concept that blends French culinary heritage with Delhi’s reawakening natural corridors.”
Dr Christine Samandari, Co-Founder, L’Opéra, added, “Café du Jardin is an invitation to pause — to enjoy food, nature, and each other. We are honoured to contribute to a space that brings joy, reflection, and community beside the Yamuna.”
Café du Jardin offers a curated selection of freshly prepared light meals, artisanal French bakery and patisserie, refreshing beverages, and picnic-friendly options for walkers, cyclists, families, and park visitors.
