Maison Guillaume

Best Known For

Weekend specials such as steak frites – Angus Porterhouse steak, served with French fries and red wine sauce.

Maison Guillaume on Glen Huntly Road in Elwood exudes French charm with a distinctly Melbourne sensibility. This elegant patisserie and café feels like a slice of Paris tucked into the bayside strip - polished yet welcoming. The air carries the scent of butter and espresso, drawing passersby to its gleaming display of croissants, tarts and gateaux that look almost too beautiful to touch. Inside, a leafy mural graces one wall above banquette seating and a statement light fitting, as guests linger over flaky pastries, rich coffee and the simple pleasure of time slowing down. Perhaps enjoy eggs Benedict, shredded ham, beans, poached eggs and Hollandaise to start the day, or join the later crowd for barramundi, pea and spinach purée, ratatouille, baby carrots, kipfler potato and crème fraiche.
