What our lovely customers say

The best French Bakery in town. Own and operated by French people with ingredients imported from France. Their croissant and baguette is very similar to the one I had in Paris. Come early as they tend to sold out early.

Reynaldi Hadianto Local Guide
When la Vie & belle opened in Surry Hills, I couldn't believe it. Finally Surry Hills got a tremendous French bakery. Being French myself and working around the corner, it's the best place to grab a croissant on the go, a delicious sandwich for lunch or a yummy lemon pie. They also do catering, don't wait and visit them today!

Audrey, Redfern Croissant Lover
Love this place! The croissants are flaky and buttery and the gentlemen who served us was very friendly. Had to go back a second time to try a few other things and was not disappointed at all! Worth a visit if you are in the neighbourhood. Fresh ones come out just around nine in the morning!

Eamon Kelly
This bakery is like a slice of France served up in Surry Hills. Small yet outstanding. Hard working, talented French bakers. Try the Eclair, Quiche or pretty much anything. You can also buy bread to take away there.

Vincent K Local Guide
The service is great, and they have simply the best almond croissants. I feel conflicted posting this since they already sell out by mid-morning!

Christian is born in 1966 in Paris Suburbs. He was dreaming of adventures and knew he would use his hands to create novelty with passion. After studying as Catering Chef in France, he decided to travel to New Caledonia where he lived for 25 years as an Artisan Builder.

Christian was still eager for new challenges. With his wife and his daughter, they decided to move to Australia to open a French-style bakery.

To achieve this challenge, Christian stopped his Business in New Caledonia and came back to school in France. He chose one of the famous French Bakery School: EFBPA, managed by one of the best French Bread Chef in the world: Christian Vabret. Christian successfully obtained his diploma of Artisan Baker and was ready to start his new challenge in Australia.

Christian used all his knowledge, experience to open the authentic LaVie&Belle Bakery in February 2017.
