People in France indulge in fries with mayonnaise and at Le Café Hellmann's, those in New York City can also appreciate the creamy condiment's harmonious pairing with crispy potatoes. This first pop-up cafe concept from Hellmann's acknowledges survey data that says one in three Americans enjoy the pairing of mayonnaise and fries but feel self-conscious enjoying it in front of others.
At Le Café Hellmann's, the only way fries are served is the French way, with a side of mayonnaise. This one-day-only Parisian-style pop-up in SoHo officially opens its doors to the public on July 31st, coinciding with the 2024 Olympics and the return of Emily in Paris on Netflix.
Guests will also enjoy Kir Royale cocktails and spirit-free French 75 mocktails, and take home branded blue berets.
