How we read reviews →Melbourne CBD's best French baguette deli. genuine Parisian sandwiches on Queen Street
Small, humming and unpretentious. the vibe of a genuine Parisian neighbourhood boulangerie transplanted to Queen Street. Cosy and charming inside with a fast-moving lunch crowd. Outdoor seating is available but limited; the real pleasure is the casual French energy of friendly staff, fresh bread smells, and an unassuming counter full of deli meats.
Baguettes are freshly baked in-house daily. the bread is routinely described as the best in Melbourne. Served warm. Classic French basket presentation. Brie available as an add-on to elevate any baguette. Named staff (Muriel, Paul) known for exceptional hospitality. A breakfast baguette deal (approx $12.50) runs alongside the lunch menu.
Authentic French operation. staff speak French, the approach to baguette craft is genuine, and French visitors specifically call out the sandwiches as close to what they would find in France. Named baguettes reference French regions (Le Normandie, Le Lyonnais, Le Parisien). The Brie add-on, jambon beurre, and Dijon mustard reflect true French lunch culture.
Baguettes are priced around $15-16, which some reviewers consider on the higher side relative to the portion of meat, but the overwhelming majority feel it is fair given the freshness, bread quality and authentic French experience. Consensus: good value for the CBD and the quality delivered.
