In 2008, during an internship in New Delhi, Laurent Samandari recognised the absence of authentic French viennoiseries and pâtisserie in the capital city.
Returning to Paris, he carried with him a clear intent — to introduce India to the flavours, elegance, and discipline of a traditional French Salon de Thé.
Soon, his family joined him, shaping this vision into what would become L’Opéra.
What began as a singular idea set a new standard for French culinary expression in India.
L’Opéra introduced the country to authentic French pâtisserie — from its first true Parisian macaron to a repertoire defined by consistency and precision.
The Maison, Evolving
From its first Salon de Thé, L’Opéra grew into a collection of boutiques across Delhi NCR, guided by an unwavering respect for French savoir-faire.
This philosophy finds expression across every part of the brand: the production facility through precision and process, the boutiques through elegance and warmth, and the products through a balance of heritage and modernity.
Together, this shared approach defines the maison today.
“When we started L'Opéra, our dream was to bring a piece of Paris to India — not just through flavours, but through emotion, experience, and excellence.”
