Gourmandise de Paris

Since your start, you have gained an incredibly large and loyal fan base.  As relative "newbies" how has this reaction been for you

I am absolutely thrilled with it.  To start with it wasn't easy but as people got to know us and us working incredibly hard at providing good products, we are really proud of what we have achieved since starting.


How long does it take to set up stall each market

All up it takes about an hour


With samples, come smiles and with smiles which in turn results in purchases...as a chef how does that make you feel

Everyone who tastes our products really enjoy them. We've had people tell us that they love it and want to know more about how we make them and are above surprised when they learn that I am the chef!


You have created little corner of Paris that seems to draw people in.  Was this deliberately planned or did it come from observing customers seeking somewhere to sit and truly enjoy your French culinary creations

It just simply seemed to "fit" with what we were wanting to do.  Because some of our food is not take away, and needs plates and cutlery, it seemed a shame to not have a nice place to sit, chill, enjoy and eat.


For anyone who has NOT yet been to Hornsby Markets, how would you sum up the fabulousness of it to them

Hornsby Market has a lot to offer with the spectacular fountain which looks different from every angle, to really nice fresh fruit and vegetable, cheeses and of course some FABULOUS French food.  For me it's interesting, it's friendly and it's relaxing.

To anyone who hasn't been yet, I would absolutely recommend that they come, have a look and enjoy it!

From sinful cheese to those with the sweet palette.  Gourmandise de Paris has a French yummy to suit every age, every desire and every wallet!  And even better, they are at Hornsby Market every Thursday!
