One of my more favored go to Patisseries in town for multiple reasons. Apart from the nice selection of pastries on offer it's also quite a nice elegant setting that has you feeling relaxed

Although I think the service could be improved a notch it's really only not picking as the raise the bar in other areas

Very old school! I loved it 👏 I was on the move today so I only got a raspberry and pistachio tart to go (which was good) but next time I'm getting one of their home made meat pies for sure

Visited for quick lunch break. Chicken wrap was delicious! Just the right amount of mayo and lettuce. I ordered the wrap toasted and the outside was deliciously crispy. Coffee (Campos) wasn't bad at all. Nice seating, friendly service.

We hadn't been here for ages. But today I felt like escaping the home office.
I had the french toast with strawberry ricotta dressing. Huge serve and delicious. Coffee is Campos and excellent. This place is back on the list!

Never eaten real food here. Just cakes and coffee. They use campos beans. The quality of your coffee will depend on which barista you get. I don't like that as I like consistency. So I don't go there anymore. They have fantastic cakes and pastries though- guess that's their forte anyway.

One of my favorite places to go for brunch in Sydney... Chai Latte is to die for! Never had a bad dish in there, everything is delicious. Great atmosphere and customer service! Highly recommend!

The Danks Street precinct has a relatively new addition and in true Sydney form the locals have begun sniffing around to see what all the fuss is about.

I always to make sure to visit when I am in Sydney! Gorgeous little cafe with delicious food. I particularly enjoy sitting outside in the shade in summer. However, I have noticed that the tarts are significantly smaller than they used to be!!

A lovely place to sit, cosy and evocative of Paris. There are a range of nice sandwiches, quiches, etc but bizarrely despite sellin baguette sandwiches they will not give you a baguette tO have w your chocolate. Attitude of staff to this was pretty ordinary, and suddenly felt more like I was Hugry Jacks. Also having followed the staff recommendation to have a baguette sandwich toasted it came out having been flattened in a machine. Disaster.

If you're in the mood to sit down & enjoy a coffee (or hot chocolate)& cake in a beautiful looking shop, this is it.

Be warned French House doesn't allow photos of its cafe. Just think, antique Parisian style interiors. There are also cafe style tables & chairs outdoors.

The strawberry tart is not to be missed, the pastry is excellent!

The salami banette with pesto is also a hit & sells out quickly.

But my favourite of all time was the delicious apricot danish which they don't seem to make anymore :-(

Try it,you'll like it!

This is the best place for a coffee south of Surry Hills, but in some ways it's better, because it doesn't have the crowds (ie, Burke st Bakery). If you want greasy bacon and eggs, this isn't the place for you, but if you are after a more Parisian breakfast or lunch, this place is great.

Parisian dream. What a fortuitous find on a Saturday afternoon. By happy chance my partner and I wandered past The French House, and were instantly drawn in by it's 1920s Parisian charm. My partner is usually immune to such charms but was happy to stop here out on the balcony a good long while and I don't think it was done just to indulge me, as we both agreed that if we lived in the neighbourhood we would be here every weekend. The music was so dreamy that we almost struck up a waltz while we waited in line along the chandeliers and gilded mirrors. The counter of treats was exquisite it was almost impossible to choose which tart to have with our deliciously creamy cappucino. In the end we shared a spanish quiche and a raspberry pistachio financier. Both divine.

This is a really special place for myself and my daughters. They're only little and love the fact that they can get a pot of tea and sit on princess chairs and drink out of ornate teacups.... I Luvvit!!! It gives me a chance to indulge in some amazing sweet and savories as well.... Bet we will be coming here for years .... Unless it changes

Tres bien en Rue Danks. This delightful find was choc a block full of people on a late Sunday arvo. The other cafes and restaurants close before The French Room so the clientle they likley pick up results from this and the Hillsong Church congregation. No yahoo element here. Just gentrified people enjoying un peu de France.
We sat inside, lucky to find a spot, although the balcony looked like the place to be.
All food and hot drinks were served on elegant French crockery - nice touch - with the food tasty and the coffee just right.
We ordered the sweet chilli falafel roll and an asparagus and cheddar tart. The pieces de resistances were the 2 tarts of chocolate and ricotta, and strawberry and custard, enjoyably scoffed by Jess and Jen, with whom we shared a table.
Would we return for another fress? Oui, definitement et a bientot!

The amazing French House. Was invited to lunch at The French House earlier in the year and have returned several times for coffee, afternoon Tea or Lunch. Each time I have tried something different and have enjoyed not only the food but the location and ambiance. Thoroughly recommend, whether going alone or with a group of friends. The staff are very pleasant and accommodating. It's also very well priced.

Let them eat cake!. This place is beautiful. Stunning parisian fitout, sitting right on the corner of industrial looking Dank street, it has somehow managed to look like it has been there since the late 1800's. I don't mind the grab a spot and order at the counter set-up, as it avoids having to beg the waiter for a table (unlike its other Dank St counterparts).
The sandwiches are good but it is the cakes and pastries that are really lovely. Pricey at $7.90 a pop but they are large serves and so delicious they are worth it.

The French house of Deliciousness. There cannot be a place with a more relaxed, authentic and elegant French atmosphere! As soon i arrived in the morning i was greeted by very friendly staff and invited to peruse the products. I then witnessed the bringing out of delicious trays laden with scrumptious pastries from the bakery in the back and the plethora of beautiful desserts, sandwiches and bread which surrounded my greedy eyes...needless to say i breakfasted with abandon and tasted the creamiest coffee i've ever had served and ate a delectable, decadent fresh fruit danish made only hrs ago all in gorgeous crockery. This is not a cafe it is truly a "DESTINATION"

Wonderland... :). This is just something amazing. It has only been over a month that the little french cafe and bakery opened up.

They are working really hard. You can tell as soon as you walk in that there is so much work behind.

Food is amazing... The beautiful little tarts and the bread... It is like a little journey back to Europe. And great coffee i must say.

People are great and friendly and sometimes a bit lost but it is normal at the beginning - as we all know how hard it is to start a new business and find the right people to work with. But they are doing a really good job!!!

All the best for them!
Thanks for the great experience.

The decor is worth a visit to this unique cafe if nothing else. It is French provincial in style and just makes you feel like you are being treated like a king to queen!! The coffee is above average, but the real standout is the pastries. Both savoury and sweet are just delectable!! I am a fan of the tarts, but the basic croissants are too worth a try!! It can get busy on the weekend, so best for a mid week indulge and the dogs are welcome clout side too!! No table service, but you really need to look at their selection to choose something to quell those taste buds!!

Pleasantly surprised to find they have an extensive cooked breakfast selection. I had scrambled eggs with truffle oil and goat curd on bread. The bread was not great but the eggs were tasty. My partner had the French toast with bacon and maple. It smelled spectacular. Campos supply the coffee beans so the coffee is high quality.

This cafe has style! Amazing interior, very vintage French, very chique. The prices are a bit high for the food but you also pay for the atmosphere and that's acceptable then. There are tables inside but also plenty of opportunities to sit on the big veranda in front of the house. We had large coffees in beautifully big broad mugs and the croissant with smoked salmon and poached eggs as well as the croissant with proscuitto and scrambled eggs - it was yum! The service was good, everything came out at once and it didn't take to much time. The other food options looked great too, especially the different cakes & tartes and the almond croissants.

This place has a large selection of pastries and sandwiches. They serve coffee in bowls and the staff are very friendly. I had the Croissant Tartine with scrambled eggs and prosciutto. Which was very tasty and a more than substantial breakfast. The coffee was good and the food arrived fairly quickly. We also had the French Toast which was very well presented, very tasty, but could have been a little crispier. My only major criticism would be the small breakfast menu, but I expect where this place excels is lunch and pastries. Also it's not too crowded on a Sunday morning but you may have trouble finding a park on the street thanks to the Hillsong Church. We parked at Aldi.

This place is crazy beautiful. If you wish you were a French queen from the mid 18th century, you should hang out here every day. I like their coffee - although I think more serious coffee lovers might like Sonoma up the road. Grab a cup of tea there instead, if only for the sugar cubes and beautiful fine chine tea service it comes in. Their chocolate mousse and custard and fruit tarts are heavenly.
