As the story goes, the owner of this compact pâtisserie and boulangerie in Blairgowrie left his filmmaking career to spend five years in France learning the art of being a pâtissier and bread-maker par excellence.

Today, Paul Zwick and his team make the best baguette in Joburg and their croissants have to be tasted a number of times to appreciate that doughy, buttery, flaky pastry combination. In addition to their selection of breads, cakes and pastries, you can find a few imported French goods too. It makes for a great relaxed breakfast spot in their small and shaded courtyard, or the perfect pop-in to stock up on breads and pastries (make sure to get there early so they're just out the oven). Pâtisserie de Paris also caters for private events and can do custom orders for special occasions.
