Nestled in the heart of downtown Beverly, Delphine's Kitchen has become a beloved destination
where the sun-drenched flavors of southern France meet New England charm. Founded by
French-born chef Delphine Minogue, our cr perie has grown from a dream into a thriving
community hub that's earned a loyal following for both our culinary offerings and our warm,
welcoming atmosphere.
As we enter our fourth year, we're expanding our offerings to include evening table service with a
full bar featuring craft cocktails, curated wines, and distinctive beers. We're seeking a passionate
hospitality professional to help lead this exciting new chapter and refine our unique hybrid
service model.

Community-centered approach: From our monthly Chef's Table dinners to our
collaborations with local businesses and artists

local restaurants

customers
