    Quality of food has really gone down. The filling to bread ratio is pretty sad and the croissants are super oily. The chocolate croissant was ok. We also tried the quiche which was totally underwhelming.

    2023: I stopped in today for a Coffee and decided to order a Cappuccino and it was great. They still don’t have any pastries like they used to have when they were located inside Odel. Staff were friendly and nice. Their Cap Art was cool, not that it matters. 2022: I used to love Delifrance when it was located inside Odel and they had lots European food. I have not been to Sri Lanka for the past three years due to Covid, so I was surprised to see they have their own location just outside the Odel. It made me happy to see this but unfortunately, after going inside I found they no longer have the Cinnamon rolls and other European food. The only thing I saw was pretty much the same Sri Lankan short eats the Fab and P&S serve. They should rename the place DeliLanka. We ordered a iced coffee and iced latte and they were good. We also ordered some mutton rolls and those were good as well but the fish roll we ordered was so bad I couldn’t take more than two bites of it because it was so fishy tasting. I won’t be going there again since the Sri Lankan short eats at fab are much better than this. Bring back the original Delifrance! The staff are friendly and nice, no issues with them.

    Best croissant I had in Colombo. I tried their Ham & cheese croissant, bacon & cheese croissant, almond croissant. They are popular for their croissants - sweet and savoury. U can construct your own croissant and filling. They have coffee and other drinks. Price range is Rs 500 and above. Helpful staff. Dine-in ✔️ (Indoor and outdoor) Take-away ✔️ No parking. I recommend the Almond Croissant. Would definitely come again 💯

    A nice cool place for a quick bite, well trained staffs, yes some days they have credit card offers and in-house combo offers, 580/- for a cappuccino is awesome!-

    It used to be good when it was located inside the shopping area. Now both the quality of food and service has gone down. And not sure because the food is cooked inside, when you get out you smell like you have been in a kitchen cooking some food. Tried the brown bread via Uber too. Not tasty at all

    We ordered one cheese and sausage panini and a chicken rice pie. Both arrived cold to the table and when informed this to the counter they did not take notice to make it right by any means. The panini was bland and rice wasn’t at all worth for the price. Really disappointed with my visit to Delifrance today !

    Had Croissant sandwiches. Croissants were flat and cold and smaller than before, but prices were higher. There was an Amex discount on Friday which was not given in d bill. Realized it when I reached home. Tried contacting them but phone no. Given in the website is disconnected. Service was poor. Staff seem disinterest.

    Excellent French deli. I wish it was bigger with more options, but good for its size. The menu is a bit confusing for me, I think it could be clearer.

    Upon wanting to do some shopping and eating. The delifrance was a one stop shop for all your food snacking needs. It was clean, fresh and friendly experience.

    My sister deivered me some brownies yesterday, they were few days old as they were hard & tasted funny (like mottled oil). Never expected this kind of experience from a reputed cafe. May be its coz of the travel restrictions & food is kept for days. If its the issue they should stop selling their products on line.extremely dissapointed & i hope the management see this review.will never recommend this place to anyone.

    When ever we come to Colombo we do visit delifrance at odel Alexander place.

  • 3/5 Subhani D. 2 years ago on Google
    Have been a regular to Delifrance over the years since go there in every Odel visit. Although the standard of food was unchanged service wasn’t that satisfactory since they moved to new place. Staff was very slow in service and tables were not cleared on time. When I was waiting to be served they took the order of another person barged into the front of the counter. Although there were vacant tables they were not cleared after the previous occupants. Staff seemed new and untrained.

    I have been a fan of Delifrance for more than 10 years and have to say it’s on of the few cafes/restaurants in Sri Lanka maintaining its exceptionally high standards!

  • 5/5 Nimshi L. 1 year ago on Google
    They have got the best almond croissant ever. A must try from ODEL town hall outlet

    Watermelon juice is great. Frap-like beverage is ok. The baguette is harder than a biscotti, so stick with the croissant only for sandwiches. Roast beef is the way to go.
