Refined Simplicity
It’s a philosophy rooted in craft and care. It's about knowing what’s important and stripping away everything else.
Inspired by our muse, Betty Catroux, who favoured timeless, authentic style over fleeting trends, we take a similar approach to food. From vibrant salads to indulgent cakes, our creations celebrate quality and elevate the moment without ever overwhelming it.
Every detail is thoughtfully considered, ensuring an effortlessly exceptional experience from kitchen to table.
Our People
ADELE JENNER — OWNER
Founded by Adele, who after years of working as a chef overseas, returned home with one goal in mind: to create a neighbourhood café that felt like an extension of her own kitchen. In 2011, Catroux opened its doors, transforming a dark bar into a bright, welcoming space that soon became a local favourite. Not long after, Catroux expanded into catering, starting with Les Mills International, who remain loyal clients to this day.
MELISSA MCSKIMMING — OWNER
In 2018, long-time chef Melissa joined Adele as co-owner, cementing a partnership that has helped Catroux thrive. Together, they continue to serve Westmere with warmth, passion, and an unwavering commitment to quality.
