Usually we eat crabcakes in a restaurant under the column Peachy's Picks, however, these were delivered with cheer from Pierre Lion of Versailles delivery. Peachy can write more posts for you with delivery! You can see from the picture that the presentation is just as exquisite as the crabcakes themselves, which were EXCELLENT. The crabmeat just bursted throughout the delectable cake with vigor and the tartar sauce was of the perfect tartness. The consistency was perfect and they weren't too breaded like inferior crabcakes can be. The size, just about the diameter of a golf ball, was perfect for handling and these would make an excellent hors d'oeuvre at your next cocktail party, and if you want Peachy to cover it, you should bribe her with these. She responds very well to crabcake bribes! Testing Crabcakes are our standard for just about everything, and we met Pierre Lion through a mutual friend who shares our champagne enthusiasm; of course it's not who you know it's WHOM YOU KNOW...what could be better than crabcakes and champagne? We are still thinking....they are from a line of Party Platters that Versailles offers and if you don't love love love crabcakes with Peachy Deegan enthusiasm, certainly something on their menu will entice you.

VersaillesDelivery.com was founded in late 2009 by Pierre Lion, French gastronome brought up in the country’s gourmet traditions in Normandy and was largely inspired by his grandparents who owned a restaurant in Paris. Such environment stressed the family tradition of the “Art De La Table” and of receptions and catering that traces back to the 18th century. One of Pierre’s ancestors worked with Francois Vatel planning the king’s banquets. The Lion’s household tradition and enjoyment of French refined food was perpetuated in various ways such as blind food-testings.
Versailles came about when Pierre Lion decided to combine his business, marketing and advertising knowledge gained through work experience (advertising for a major French TV channel and 2+ years at Bollore) and academics (Master of Business & Advertising obtained in Chicago and a Master ESG in Paris.)
Thanks to Pierre Lion's dedication, Versailles Delivery is now your online stop for Parisian macarons (shipped daily), Renown Lenotre pastries and Fauchon products, Petrossian caviar, Artisanal cheese, D’Artagnan charcuterie and homemade quiches for lunches and dinners in NYC.
They are perfect to have on hand for guests that surprise you! They can be delivered warm or ready to store and exceed our presentation standards for serving as well.
