The French Lettuce

6 stars if I may! 💗Vanilla Slice💗 Friend bought us their Vanilla Slice (see photo in square) and they are soooooo good!! Like so soooo good. Creamy, smooth and not too sweet which is perfect for us. 💗Baked Cheesecake💗 Wanted to get their Vanilla slice in cake form (which they call it Mille Feuille) but it requires at least a day notice. So I went with their 2nd best seller… Baked Cheesecake and we were elated! Apart from the creamy-licious and well balanced sweetness, love the crunchy thin base with a hint of coconut. We topped with a couple of cherries and it was perfect for our pre-Christmas gathering. One of my friend who is a dessert lover approves too ☺️ 🧑🏼‍🍳Service🧑🏼‍🍳 Spoke with Jennifer on the phone and she was really kind and helpful. When we were in the shop, I got a bit of my Parisian fix with the French accent by one of the crew 😁 💰Value💰 Fairly priced imo. $7 for a vanilla slice. $50 for baked cheesecake Note that the shop is not too big (yet filled with so many goodies!!) and there were only 2 tables outside.

Came here just to try the vanilla slice which is voted the best in Melbourne as published in The Age! The vanilla slice is delicious - the custard in the middle had great consistency unlike every other vanilla slice I've had, the pastry is flaky and really good! Not over-sweetened either. Came with a friend who also bought some home for his parents and they also loved it too. Will definitely be back for more!

Sometimes there are some foods that are just too pretty to eat. This is one of those times. This delicious and sexy looking fruit tart from French Lettuce was impressive. Beautifully put together with a shortbread shell and vanilla cream, the whole experience was superb. The fruits were fresh and that fig was amazing. Definitely worth a try!☀️

We got a steak pie, quiche and a vanilla slice. It was about 12:30pm and the pies we not hot yet so we took it home and heated it in the oven. The pie was just a complete mess, tough stringy beef in a glue like gravy and the pastry was doughy and uncooked with way way too much salt. The quiche was completely dry and 50% pastry. Vanila slice was pretty nice because it wasnt too sweet and it was nice and creamy. Was quite expensive overall I think it was around $19 ?

Small, cute and underrated. This place makes an incredible baguette sandwich and good coffee. There isn’t much indoor seating except for some bar stools but you can sit outside. There is a lot of café food options to choose from which is always great to see. Also, the staff is very helpful and the dude has a crazy viking beard.
