Banette

Best Known For

Croque Monsieur: iconic French lunch of a ham and cheese toastie, topped with béchamel sauce and grilled cheese.

Experience a taste of France in the heart of Paddington at Banette on Baroona Road. This Brisbane French bakery was born out of a desire to share the French tradition of showcasing exceptional flavours using carefully selected ingredients of the highest quality; all served in charming surrounds of whitewashed walls, white subway tiles and polished concrete floors, while cabinets overflow with all manner of temptations. Sip a cup of barista-brewed coffee on the patio while indulging in delicious freshly baked treats such as a salted caramel tart or pistachio, raspberry and white chocolate slice; those with a savoury bent opt for crunchy baguettes filled with prosciutto, cheese, tomato and rocket, or a ham and cheese croissant. Don’t forget to grab a box of macarons to take home for later.
