Nestled in the rolling hills of southeast Iowa near peaceful Kalona, Simone Delaty offers an array of unique dining experiences and homemade bread crafted in the great tradition of French bakers.

Simone creates home-cooked meals by using the freshest, locally grown ingredients—many from her own kitchen garden—that are served family-style around a large table. Sun-ripened vegetables (all organically grown), quality meats, aromatic herbs and spices, and luscious fruits inspire dishes both rustic and refined.





Simone’s handcrafted artisan breads,carefully prepared with the finest ingredients and baked on-site in a wood-fired oven, are available at select locations. The brick oven was built in 1992 and is situated in the heart of Simone’s homestead.
