Les Delices De France
About
Les Délices de France is a small, locally owned French café and deli in Lionshead, a short walk from the Eagle Bahn Gondola. It has been open since 1984, which makes it one of the longer-running independent spots in the village, and it keeps things simple: Lavazza coffee, fresh pastries, crepes and smoothies.
It suits skiers and hikers who want breakfast before the gondola, families looking for a sweet crepe mid-afternoon, and anyone who needs gluten-free options without a fuss. It is a daytime place, open from early morning until mid-afternoon.
Crepes and waffles
Sweet crepes come with Nutella, strawberries and bananas, or dulce de leche, bananas, pecans and ice cream. Savory crepes run to ham and cheese, mozzarella with tomato and pesto, and salmon with spinach and feta. Waffles come with berries and maple syrup, and gluten-free crepes are available on request.
Coffee, smoothies and juices
The coffee is Lavazza, and there are frappés such as caramel latte and cookies and cream. Smoothies range from mixed berries with Greek yogurt to a green blend of matcha, spinach and apple, and there are fresh juices.
Planning a visit
Les Délices is at 531 East Lionshead Circle, in the heart of Lionshead. It closes at 4 p.m. most days and earlier on Sunday, so it is a breakfast or lunch stop rather than a dinner option. Take food to go if you are heading straight up the mountain.
