Says Gourjux: “I have spent my career promoting French food. We opened Les Delices de France as I wasn’t happy with the standard of authentic French cuisine in this country. Since it has closed, I have missed interacting my customers, so I am delighted to be back to showcase my food and reconnect with diners.”
