ABOUT US
The Toowong French Patisserie opened in June 1984. Online French Patisserie opened in 2006. Salt Village French Patisserie (Kingscliff) opened in July 2017.
The French Patisserie supplies Brisbane with authentic French style pastry products. This business has been owned by the same family since 1998. Justin trained at Toowong from age 15 with the original three French brothers who opened the patisserie. Today Head Chef Anthony leads our patisserie kitchens in Toowong and Kingscliff and Louis, Justin's son, oversees the family business. The Toowong patisserie has become a part of Brisbane folklore, even having been included in award winning author Nick Earls’ 1997 novel, Zigzag Street.
