Chez Jean-Claude Patisserie

Subiaco’s undisputed champion of butter and flour. Perth’s pastry purists gladly brave the out-the-door queues for this slice of Swiss *savoir-faire*. A masterclass in *viennoiserie*—towering displays of decadent éclairs, shatteringly crisp ham and cheese croissants, and house-baked artisan loaves perfuming the air the second you step inside. The pretzels are a total revelation, baking up brilliantly crisp and airy rather than your standard heavy lye dough. Pair a flawless bake with their remarkably rich, smooth espresso. Grab a table in the cozy, bread-print-adorned dining room or snag a spot in the courtyard. Absolute carb heaven. Just check your willpower at the door.
