Lusseau (named after the owner Marie Lusseau) is our newest
food shop offering up an array of French delights, and has been open for four
weeks now. How exciting to have such a
shop in our midst! There are not enough
independent deli/bakeries in Portsmouth, and whenever I visit Brighton, I
always come home with a sense of envy at their infinite food scene, but Lusseau
brings us that step closer to their ranks of sophistication. Lusseau is a smart
independent store offering the likes of baguettes, patisseries, cured meats,
cheeses and other French groceries.
Soon to be added to this list are wines too! Their Ethos is to source only from quality French suppliers. Marie has a kitchen upstairs which allows
her to bake the fresh bread dough, and tells me she makes other delights too
(which sell like hotcakes on a Saturday, so get in quick) such as cherry tarts
and flan patissier. Today was just a
stop off to see how things are coming on, but I promised to be back on Saturday
to make a purchase, and the rosemary bread looks like it will be making it’s
way into my home for sure!
I wish Marie much success in her new venture.
