Adjoining Scott Pickett's celebrated French bistro, Chancery Lane, Le Shoppe is a charming European delicatessen building on Melbourne's legacy of historic delis, grocers and corner stores. Working within the historic bones of Normanby Chambers, Bergman & Co. embraced the characterful details of the site while building a narrative around authenticity; a reflection of Pickett's love of humble foods and home cooking.
Rich in texture and tone, the interior is a warm and inviting departure from the outside corporate milieu. Deep timber, mosaic and hand-glazed tiling, figured stone and copper accents create an elevated proposition, while generous display cabinets entice passers-by. Le Shoppe crafts a familiar scene; a celebration of good food engrained in its setting.
