Book NowAbout French Fix
Forget the sad desk lunch. Queen Street workers queue down the block for French Fix—a tiny counter turning out warm baguettes made to order. Office regulars call it the truest Parisian bite in the CBD. Crackling crust, soft crumb, and a swipe of Dijon. The benchmark order is Le Roast Beef, stacked with tender meat, tomato, and crunchy French pickles. Insider tip: ask the counter staff to tuck brie into the warm bread so it melts against the beef. Claim a footpath stool, pull the halved baguette from its woven basket, and settle in for a proper déjeuner.
- Baguettes in Traditional Baskets: Crusty, freshly warmed baguettes sliced in half and served in classic woven bread baskets for dine-in guests.
- Le Roast Beef & Brie: Tender roast beef layered with Dijon mustard, pickles, and creamy brie that melts against the warm loaf.
- Queen Street Alfresco Seating: Outdoor tables on Queen Street for a relaxed, sunlit lunch break away from the office desk.

Frk W An Unpretentious Boulangerie Atmosphere
Tucked into Queen Street, the shop offers a cozy, unpretentious atmosphere that captures the charm of a local French boulangerie.
It’s small, humming, and unpretentious—exactly how a neighborhood boulangerie should be.
