This petite bakery is renowned for its cinnamon scrolls and croissants (especially the savoury one – go for the garlic butter croissant if not sold out). It’s by two French chefs that have swapped out the bustle of Michelin-starred Parisian restaurants for the calm of Bentleigh’s main drag.

Reliable coffee and plenty of options for kids.

An effortless vibe pervades this local-centric space.

Cocktails and craft beers in an old heritage bank. And there’s an outdoor tiki bar adorned in fairy lights.
