HANDCRAFTED PÂTÉ EN CROÛTE
Melba Charcuterie & Catering
An icon of French culinary heritage, pâté en croûte is for us an exercise in precision, patience, and elegance. At the Melba restaurant in Quissac, each piece is handcrafted with respect for the product, the animal, and the French charcuterie tradition.
Local Sourcing & Artisanal Expertise
Our meats come from local farmers in the Cévennes, selected for the quality of their livestock and the impeccable traceability of their products. We work in particular with Colognac poultry and Baron des Cévennes pork, which we combine with carefully chosen fillings to create a gourmet, generous, and balanced pâté en croûte.
Available for pickup at the restaurant or delivery throughout mainland France, our catering service allows you to receive a piece of artisanal charcuterie prepared fresh daily in our kitchen.
