This Boulangerie Enters New Phase of Growth and Development

Entering the new phase of growth and development, L'Opéra, the Delhi-based finest award-winning brand added L'Opéra's Salon de Thé at Max Towers, Noida to its list of outlets situated at some of the most premium addresses in Delhi-NCR. 

From using the French Embassy kitchen back in 2010 to operating a 12,000 sq. ft production facility in Noida that runs 24x7, L'Opéra has travelled a long way that spans a decade to become the foremost Pâtisserie, Boulangerie and Salon de Thé (Tea Room) in the country.

Back in 2011, when the Samandaris inaugurated L'Opéra's first retail outlet at Khan Market, which is currently under renovation to get a fresh new look, the family members knew that they were in for a long haul. "In today's day and age, when the planning horizon is much shorter and commitment less pronounced, we decided to go with a systematic approach while conceiving, planning and executing the 10-year business plan," says Kazem Samandari, Executive Chairman, L'Opéra. 

Growth and Expansion

L'Opera

Within the next two years, L'Opéra went on to launch five more outlets including India's first Salon de Thé, a concept that augments the authentic French experience further with ample seating space and impeccable attention to detail at Epicuria - Nehru Place, thus, setting a new trend in the Indian market for high-end culinary products.

"The customers are now looking to have an elaborate menu," says Laurent Samandari, Managing Director. "With an increase in demand, L'Opéra has also got bigger where our patrons can enjoy our delicacies in a larger and more elaborate environment," he adds. 

By mid-2017, L'Opéra upped its game and rolled out yet another outlet. This time around at PVR Director's Cut, Ambience Mall to capture the attention of frequent movie-goers. The outlet features fittings and furniture brought in from overseas, including antique furniture markets in France and an exclusive setting that recreated the most refined café atmosphere in Paris.

The year 2018 witnessed two more new outlets including Bikaner House and Green Park. This year, L'Opéra started on a high note yet again and launched few more outlets including the ones in Defence Colony, GKII and Max Towers (the largest outlet of the brand spread over 1,500 sq. ft). 

"Bikaner House is one of our stunning properties in the heart of Delhi," says Kazem. "It is located in the Bikaner House, a majestic mansion built for Indian royalty and we have added gilt mirrors and chandeliers to the outlet so that the setting is as splendid as our offerings."
