Australians’ affinity for croissants and other manner of French bakery goods is well known. In 2016 The New York Times hypothesised that the world’s best crescent shaped flakey treats were in fact baked down under.
Now, Sydney CBD commuters will have the chance to sink their teeth into an array of pastry sensations courtesy of Loulou Bistro, Boulangerie & Traiteur Milsons Point’s latest venture, Petit Loulou – a boulangerie that focuses on classic French pastries, viennoiseries, and light meals, offering a blend of takeaway convenience and outdoor seating.
Located at 1 Elizabeth Street, above the Martin Place Metro, Petit Loulou will serve a selection of fresh baked goods, including croissants, petite tarts, and sausage rolls, alongside savoury options such as rotisserie chicken baguettes and Niçoise salads. The focus is on high-quality ingredients and traditional baking techniques, with an emphasis on accessibility for city workers and visitors.
Brendon Woodward, Loulou’s Head Baker, says the expansion is about bringing a taste of French baking to a broader audience. “We want to create an experience that feels both familiar and true to the traditions of French patisserie,” he said.
