Childwall-based patisserie has opened a new city centre venue.

The ‘French patisserie-boulangerie’ first opened its doors in Childwall almost a year ago and recently launched a brand new store on Bold Street.

Artisane, recognisable by its Parisian-style shop window, has brought to the city centre  its selection of artisan strawberry tarts, custard slices, macarons and chocolate eclairs, French breads, croissants and pastries, which are freshly baked every morning.

The new Bold Street venue has seating for up to 15 people.

Anne-Louise Bouffard-Roupe, director at Artisane, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be opening on Bold Street. The location is perfect for our second store and we are delighted to be adding to the eclectic mix of independent international food stores, cafes and restaurants that are synonymous with the Bold Street area.

“People come from all over the city to pick up French breads, pastries and cakes from our Childwall shop so it’s great to have a base in the city centre as well.

“We have a fantastic cafe area at Artisane Bold Street, which means that customers have the option of either taking away their goodies or staying for a relaxing French breakfast or a lunch. We’re extremely proud of Artisane Bold Street and we’re really looking forward to welcoming customers over the coming months.”

Artisane Bold Street has a private space, which can be reserved for business meetings, birthday lunches or baby showers.

Artisane also offers outside catering for local businesses holding breakfast meetings and working lunches.

Artisane is owned by the same team behind The French Corner, which has been supplying traditional French produce to farmer’s markets and restaurants across the north west for more than 10 years.
