la Madeleine Introduces Chicken Caesar Salade Stuffed Croissant Inspired by Viral Food Trend

May 13, 2026 // Franchising.com // DALLAS – la Madeleine announced a limited-time Chicken Caesar Salade Stuffed Croissant, beginning Tuesday, May 12.

Inspired by the viral croissant sandwich trend taking over social feeds, the new offering reimagines two of la Madeleine’s guest-favorite café classics. The Chicken Caesar Salade Stuffed Croissant features layers of crisp romaine, housemade croutons, succulent chicken, shaved parmesan and original Caesar dressing inside a freshly baked, flaky butter croissant for a rich, savory bite designed to be enjoyed exactly as guests have been craving online.

For an even more satisfying pairing, guests can upgrade their side to a cup of Tomato Basil Soupe to dip their stuffed croissant in. One of la Madeleine’s signature menu items, the hearty soupe is made with juicy vine-ripened tomatoes, fresh cream and basil — creating a comforting café-style combination perfect for lunch, an afternoon escape or a meal enjoyed fireside in one of la Madeleine’s welcoming cafés.

“Great hospitality means listening to what guests are excited about and finding ways to bring those moments to life,” said John Dillon, CEO and president of la Madeleine. “As we watched this food trend take off online, we also saw many of our own guests creating their own version in our cafés. The Chicken Caesar Stuffed Croissant builds on that excitement by bringing together the classic flavors la Madeleine is known for in a craveable, thoughtfully crafted way inspired directly by our fans.”

The Chicken Caesar Salade Stuffed Croissant will be available for dine-in, take-out, online ordering, and third-party delivery for a limited time. The Tomato Basil Soupe is offered as an upgraded or à la carte side.

Known for blending approachable French-inspired comfort food with café classics, la Madeleine continues to bring timely, craveable flavors to guests through handcrafted menu offerings inspired by both tradition and culture.
