November 16, 2020: With a history of over 150 years, the luxury French bakery Ladurée is one of the world's best-known sellers of macarons and other patisserie offerings.
Now CK Lifestyle is planning Ladurée’s first outlet in New Delhi in March-April 2021, with a planned roll-out of up to 20 bakeries and restaurants over the next five years across India. CK Israni said “Customers will get the same menu, same experience here, similar to whatever they would have experienced at Ladurée globally, be it Paris, be it London or Dubai. Even our chefs are coming from Paris and would maintain the same macarons.”
The first stores are to be opened in Delhi and then Mumbai.
In 1862 Louis Ernest Ladurée opened a bakery in Paris at 16 Rue Royal, which became emblematic to Parisian high society. From Paris, London’s Harrod’s, New York’s Madison Avenue, to Hong Kong, Cannes, Saint Tropez, São Paulo, Stockholm, Miami, Bangkok, Brussels, Dubai, Azerbaijan, Dubai, Philippines, and Luxembourg, Ladurée has about 40 restaurants and tea rooms and 107 stores in 21 countries (most of which are temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak).
