Bakery in Bondi Road
A genuine French artisan bakery and patisserie on Bondi Road, hand-making breads, classic and modern cakes, pastries and savoury pies daily.
This is a proper old-school French patisserie run by Normandy-born baker François Galand, who's been baking here since 2016 and has decades of experience behind him. Everything is made by hand on-site, from crackly baguettes and buttery croissants to the glass-case cakes, tarts and eclairs. If you want the real thing rather than the trend-driven cafe pastry, this is where we'd send you on the walk up Bondi Road.
Almond croissant, the goat's cheese tart, and the vanilla slice are the signatures; the classic French cakes (lemon tart, chocolate mousse, eclairs) and the savoury pies, quiches and sausage rolls are the other reasons to come.
Small, unfussy neighbourhood bakery-cafe scented with fresh bread
Local tip: It sits up on Bondi Road rather than down by the sand, so grab your pastries here on the way to the beach rather than expecting an ocean-view sit-down.
Worth knowing: No beach views and limited seating — this is a bakery counter, not a destination brunch spot, and it's closed Mondays.
Hours, prices and menus change — always check the venue’s own site before you go. Spotted something out of date? We keep this directory current; details reflect our last check.
