Traveling France in the days of kings and queens, you would rely upon the hospitality of people living in castles scattered across the countryside. These where the first French restaurants and hotels, and at La Chatelaine French bakery and Bistro, we bring to you a beautiful example of these traditions in our modern-day. From the translation of our name, “Lady of the Castle”, who was spouse of the noble man in charge of a province, to home made recipes handed down from generation to generation of the Wielezynski family. We are proud to offer you authentic, delicious foods that you will look forward to each and every time you visit.
As you step threw the doors of La Chatelaine French Bakery and Bistro,
You will immediately notice the handcrafted woodwork all around you, inspired by owner Stan Wielezynski’s family manor, located in Normandy. Candles, fresh flowers and a crackling fireplace will transcend you to a more magical time and age.
There are fine pastries to match any palate. Fresh baked goods such as breads and a wide selection of croissants are pulled from the oven morning, noon and night.
We take great pride in the finest quality ingredients, from the flours we use in our breads, to the fruits we use in our desserts.
We invite you to relax in our warm atmosphere for any meal of the day. We will be glad to see you there.
About Our Family
La Chatelaine French Bakery and Bistro is a Family Owned Business since 1991 located in Columbus Ohio. There are now three locations and each are run by a family member. Stan and Gigi Wielezynski immigrated to the United States in 1985, and keeping the family together was just as important then as it is now. Tad Wielezynski is the head Chef and production manager. His daughter Claudia, very talented, is 11. She shows a great interest in helping out around the restaurant as well as cooking.
Valerian Wielezynski, General Manager, has two children. The oldest is Enzo, who is nine, and is now fluent in the ways of bussing tables and polishing the pastry case. Ellie is 3, and just as gorgeous and charming as her mother Paige and Grandma Gigi.
Next is Marie-Charlotte, General Manager, who graduated with a bachelor in science from the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in 2005. This past year (2007), Charlotte and her husband Aaron blessed the family with a new addition. Leopold is now nine months old.
The youngest sibling Janek is now 21. His interests lead to cooking and production management much like his oldest brother Tad.
