la Madeleine Jobs

La Madeleine is a French-inspired bakery-café chain that has been serving authentic French country cuisine since its founding in 1983. Established by Patrick Esquerré in Dallas, Texas, the brand has grown to encompass over 85 locations across the United States.

The locations are primarily in the southern and eastern regions. The menu features a variety of handcrafted dishes, including soups, salads, sandwiches, entrées, crêpes, pastas, and handmade French desserts. These offerings are available throughout the day, catering to breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The restaurants evoke the charm of French countryside eateries, with interiors adorned with farm tools and impressionist paintings. The ambiance is warm and inviting, enhanced by a traditional stone hearth.

Company History

In 2002, La Madeleine became part of Groupe Le Duff, a French restaurant conglomerate that has supported its expansion and development. The brand has embraced franchising to fuel its growth, with plans to double its size every five years.
