About Us
The French Lettuce is a true family affair — proudly owned and operated by the Brown family, with Mum, Dad, and their three kids all playing a part in creating our delicious legacy. Since the early 1980s, we’ve been blending traditional and modern Australian patisserie to delight Melbourne’s food lovers.
Deeply woven into Melbourne’s vibrant food culture, The French Lettuce has become a beloved destination for cakes and bakery treats, thanks to our commitment to quality, passion, and the warmth of a family-run business. Every day, our team works to uphold this tradition by delivering not only exceptional products but also memorable customer experiences.
We’re honoured to have received recognition for our culinary craftsmanship, including being named Melbourne’s Best Vanilla Slice by The Age and runner-up in the same category by the Herald Sun.
Since the early 2000s, the Brown family has lived by a philosophy of heartfelt customer relationships and honest, authentic food made with care — values that come straight from our family kitchen to yours.
Our story has also been shared by Broadsheet, Fairfax, Urban List, and featured on Channel Nine’s Postcards TV program.
Come taste the passion, tradition, and family love baked into every bite at The French Lettuce.
