Filou's Patisserie, Carlton North

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.
