Embark on a food journey to Southern France at Rise Bakery

Treat yourself…ahem, we mean your family…to a range of delectable freshly baked pastries including croissants, eclairs, and fruit topped Danishes at Sanctuary Cove’s very own taste of Southern France. Their delightfully indulgent high-tea-inspired dining experience is topped off by ambient interior design and stunning marina views. The little ones will love Rise Bakery’s signature chocolate eclairs, which are of course best paired with a babyccino, whilst the grown-ups can indulge in their fine pastries with a choice of tea, coffee, or a glass of bubbles.
