Best French Bakery in Brisbane City

"Predominantly known for their gluten-free, baked not fried donuts, Nodo has a knack for turning out perfect flavour combinations to support your daily dose of sweetness. Sit down to a six pack of Iced VoVo, vegan wild chocolate orange, strawberry hazelnut, blueberry lemon cheesecake, raspberry and white chocolate, and pumpkin maple – which is the only six pack we’ll be seeing anytime soon…"

"Doing big ol’ boxes to take away or individuals to snack in, Nodo commits hard to their gluten-free premise. Making sure you get to #eatdonutsforbreakfast they do new batches daily, but will only have stock until sold out. Might have to beat an old lady with a stick to get then."

"Flour & Chocolate Morningside proved so popular that they opened a second location in Northgate to feed their adoring customers. Serving up a wide selection of patisserie, breads and savoury baked goods, mouthwatering treats like cinnabuns and gonuts, as well as their new DIY baking packs to try at home, there’s something for everyone at Flour & Chocolate."

"Flour & Chocolate & apple crumble gonuts (their take on the cronut, we’re starting to lose track too). Each week brings new flavours with it, which means you could be biting into white chocolate pistachio, vanilla custard, or something completely different!. Rest assured, you won’t be disappointed."

"You know them for their brownies, but don’t forget the staples!. F+C’s croissants are the perfect ratio of soft:crispy, buttery:flaky, and frankly, we can’t get enough (though we do always pick up a brownie on our visit, too)."

"Anyone who’s been to France will tell you just how incredible the pastries and the fresh beard are… and Chouquette is the closest thing you’ll find to an authentic patisserie in Brisbane. The French owners honour traditional methods of baking to ensure consistent quality across their loaves and cabinet goods. Loaves are baked fresh daily and available in pumpkin, olive, fruit loaf and more."

"A lovely cafe and spot for sweet goods, Sweet Treats Dessert Café take a no-nonsense approach towards giving the people of Runcorn the best desserts in the area. Chocolate drenched waffles, ice-creams galore and all the coffee you need. Address: 1a/258 Warrigal Rd, RuncornPhone: (07) 3161 3352Hours: Mon – Sun 9am – 9pm"

"A debonair New Farm cafe and coffee shop where the aesthetics are just as delicious as the food. Stop by the bath in the pastel pink walls and soft lights of Miss Jones before tucking into a blossom scented semolina porridge with almond crumble, blackberry marmalade and a ginger coconut mousse. For those with a sweet tooth, the nutmeg caramel hotcake with rhubarb blossom custard, brown sugar poached apple and hazelnut milk gelato will not disappoint, but even the smashed avocado on local sourdough with sweet potato hummus and rainforest dukkah will not disappoint your eyes or your taste buds."

"Little Loco’s little sister, Miss Jones’ Lloyd’s Breakfast is super delicious and unique (ham and cheddar waffles anyone?). It also comes with bacon, poached eggs, spinach, tomato relish and avo on sourdough."

"Little Loco’s little sister, Miss Jones’ mango Weis granola bowl is probably one of the most healthy AND Insta-worthy picks on this list. Talk about summer flavours."

"Each beautifully simple and soulful slice is imbued with the French heritage and skill of founder and pastry chef Catherine Marot, whose decorated background includes former Head Decorator at Jocelyn’s Provisions. Using fresh flowers from local florists and seasonal fruits and berries to embellish, Lady Bouchon takes pride in sourcing the highest quality, natural Australian ingredients. The traditional and time-honoured methods used in this kitchen create the perfect harmony of flavours and textures every single time, most loved in their classic chocolate or pistachio and rose cake."

"Always doing things differently, Paddington Social serves up fresh Thai fare by night, and decadent pastries, coffee, breakfast and lunch by day. Their famous croissants (that take three days to make, BTW), come in an ever-changing array of flavours – we’ve seen yummies before like baklava, strawberry cheesecake and hot dog – and are always nabbed up hella quickly!. The hard part is choosing which croissant you want, the easy part is consuming it in three flakey bites."

"Hard to beat for the convenience factor, head to the SpudBar in the Wintergarden food court for a hearty baked potato topped with any fillings you like."

"No vegan restaurant round-up is complete without The Green Edge!. Arguably the most iconic vegan destination in Brisbane, this restaurant offers a hearty menu for breakfast, lunch & dinner that even a carnivore could happily chow down on. If you’re there during the day time, you can also shop up a storm in the grocery section."

"Located outside of the city in Windsor, the Green Edge is a family owned business dedicated to providing the means for people to make ethical choices in their daily lives, through their cafe and grocery store."

"Family owned and operated, Cocomango Restaurant continues to be a favourite among locals of Redcliffe in search of exotic cuisine. Casting Filipino cuisine into the spotlight, both nearby residents an..."

"For a fun walk that combines wildlife spotting with cultural heritage, the Boondall Wetlands are a must-visit. There are several different tracks available to suit different levels of ability and stamina, and all are great for exploring this unique ecosystem. The Nurri Millen Totem Trail is great for kids to follow to discover the wildlife and plants of the wetlands and learn about how the Aboriginal clans used this area and its flora and fauna."

"Boondall Wetlands is located 15 kilometres north of Brisbane's CBD. The wetlands lie on the edge of Moreton Bay between Nudgee Beach, Boondall and Shorncliffe and include approximately 1150 hectares of tidal flats, mangroves, saltmarshes, melaleuca wetlands, grasslands and open forest. The Boondall Wetlands offer a variety of walking tracks and some mountain bike trails. Download the track map."

"Cuddle a cute l’il Koala Bear at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and then head to the city centre to climb City Hall’s bell tower before finishing off the day with one of 200 beers from the Brews Brothers Microbrewery. One of my favourite places to stay in the city is Brisbane City Backpackers, which has its own onsite pub and a rooftop swimming pool with views across the entire skyline. All this from 21 bucks a night."

"The picnic grounds at J C Slaughter Falls are a great starting point from which to do a family bushwalk and explore the Mount Coot-tha Reserve. The easy Aboriginal Art Trail circuit is an easy, short walk, where you can see the falls and spot the rock paintings and other artwork along the way. Best of all though, is the Summit Track — a two-kilometre hike to the summit of Mount Coot-tha."
