Filou's Patisserie, Carlton North

Many Bakeries in Melbourne. However, this one stands out from the rest. Very big selection and most amazing croissants.. Great for breakfast, lunch and dinner..

We are lucky to live nearby, but I know people who come from across town on the weekends to this place. The croissants are light and buttery - not dense as the ones you could get at Brumbys (ugh) or elsewhere. If we have visitors, I like to get a cake from here - the macadamia and berry is nice. The quiches are quite delicious too and good option for takeaway dinner as they come in different sizes.

Filou's is a bit too far away from my home for me to consider it my 'local' bakery, but I try to stop in whenever I can. The quiches and pies are great for an easy weekend lunch, and the sweets are delectable. The staff are cheerful and friendly, especially important when it's way too early in the morning and you're looking for that first sugar hit of the day.

The food from this little French bakery is fantastic. I've tried the pastries, bread, pies, slices and cakes. Everything is always very fresh and tasty. Because it is so popular there are often queues out the door so be prepared to wait a little.

Filou is a French bakery that sells absolutely delicious french pastries and cakes. The croissants, spinach slices and baguettes are so yummy. It provides a good option breakfast on the weekend.
