In France, Christmas isn’t a mountain of food — it’s a few extraordinary things, served slowly. Foie gras on warm toast. A terrine passed around the table. Truffle shaved over everything that stands still. This page is your shortcut to that table: Christmas gourmet hampers and French festive food, delivered anywhere in Australia.
The French Christmas table
Start with foie gras. The centrepiece of every réveillon: Comtesse du Barry foie gras in duck or goose, from a 65g first taste to the 210g entertainer’s bloc. Chill well, slice with a warm knife, serve on toasted brioche.
The spread before the main. Terrines and rillettes — duck, pork with hazelnuts, or the peppery Gascony styles — keep the table talking while the main event cooks.
A main you don’t have to cook. Confit duck and cassoulet, slow-prepared in South-West France; you just bring the heat and take the credit.
The truffle flourish. Margaret River truffle salt, oil and aioli — the local luxury that makes even the potatoes festive.
Finish with chocolate. Handcrafted QQ La Praline chocolates — red gum honeycomb, hazelnut and wafer — where the French tradition of Christmas chocolates meets Australian flavours.

What do the French eat at Christmas?
The Christmas Eve feast — le réveillon — traditionally opens with foie gras on toasted bread, followed by a slow-cooked main such as confit duck or cassoulet, and finishes with chocolates. It’s less about quantity than about a few exceptional things done properly.
Is foie gras a Christmas tradition?
In France, absolutely — foie gras is THE festive-season delicacy, and the réveillon table is where most of it is enjoyed each year. A Comtesse du Barry bloc with warm toast is the simplest way to bring that tradition to an Australian Christmas.
