Mk PhAugust 9, 2012Value for money - half a grilled ham and cheese sandwich, a cauliflower and pear cream soup, a macaroon and a small ice tea - all for $10.82!! Food is not bad. Nice, bright place.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
JasonFebruary 29, 2016Lining up to get food can be a little confusing especially when it's busy. There are signs in French, just not obvious when you first walk in. Good pastries, I would come back. Has free wifi too.
Ebtisam AfrandNovember 21, 2015The macaron's weren't impressive, the caramel fleur de sel macaron was decent though. the baguettes were good and the breakfast croissant with hollaindaise sauce was delicious! Coffee was good too
PouryaOctober 14, 2021The BEEEEESSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTT morning sandwiches ever I had, crowded place, almost 50 people in front of me, but passing so fast, the croissants are amazing, try the morning combo with fresh and awesome
Yuval ZukermanAugust 20, 2016Remarkable French pastries. Paillard had the best croissant I ever had and the bacon and cheese bake was amazing. Great friendly staff too.
Augusto BarradasApril 7, 2023Excellent choices for breakfast, lunch or brunch at very affordable prices. Try the soup and sandwich in the winter or the salad in the summer.
Sophia HJuly 3, 2017Best chocolate almond croissant ever!! So warm and fresh. Grilled veggie and chipotle chicken sandwiches are really good too
Appoorva SaxenaSeptember 6, 2015Fresh food, great ambience and great service. Long breakfast lines so get there early!
Jin LeeJuly 1, 2013Pastries are amazing. Employees are very helpful and kind. Coffee is a little on the strong side but tasted good. Great place for breakfast.- Sophia HJuly 5, 2017Fougasse tomate and pesto is awesome. Bread in the center is doughy-soft, fresh, and tasty.
Kathryn DMay 30, 2017Vegetarian sandwich on paillard's bread is extra satisfying. Nab croissants on the way out, but skip the cookies.
LorenzoAugust 9, 2014They have a nice patio that is great for people watching while you have a cup of excellent coffee- BridgetMay 30, 2010Fantastic for a quick meal any time of the day. Eat in or take out! You can't go wrong with a coffe + pastry in the morning, or soup of the day & a sandwich later on! Great prices!
Karen HaFebruary 8, 2012Great croissants (even a day old after I flew with them back to Toronto). Decent macarons but not comparable to Point G in Montreal. The raspberry was good!
Sarah BowesJanuary 31, 2014Chicken chipotle sandwich is tasty and reasonable portion. Cafe au lait also very good and not too corse.
Jonathan YuJuly 21, 2015Great bakery in the center of old upper town. Croissant and sandwiches were great.
Crabiorc RakeeJanuary 13, 2016Do not miss this place if you came to Quebec City on a tour. Try the Croissant breakfast.
Rebecca RobertsonAugust 13, 2014The crossaint was delicious! Great by itself, also good with cheese, ham, and egg!
Larissa ZoccheDecember 20, 2014The Matin Combo, the hot chocolate and the chocolate muffin are amazing!
Jose-Antonio Orta-CottoNovember 10, 2016EVERYTHING!!! Excellent prices. Believe me EVERYTHING is exquisite, absolutely delicious!!!
Aaron GladdersAugust 3, 2013Great boulangerie to start the day - good quality breads, coffee and space for the kids
TomJune 28, 2016Love their pastries, the creme brulee is my favorite but the old man & young lady that work the bread & dessert counter are pieces of shit. They talk crap about customers that don't understand French.
iuliia pMay 20, 2013Got two coffees for 1 price. The croissants here just like in Paris. Baguettes are yummy.
Linda MickJune 26, 2012Tip: if you are an anglophone, learn the correct way to order quad espressos before coming here, if this is your drink.
kav kavAugust 8, 2010Fantastic "secret" place to eat, probably gets overlooked by many tourists. Much better food than the chains you will find close by (McDonalds etc) and much better pricing.
SonyMobileWTA ManagerSeptember 5, 2011Tasty soups, fresh salads and delicious sandwiches. Do you need any more reasons to go there?
gingerpieceFebruary 17, 20149:30 on a Monday morning and no plain croissants in the bakery area, just at the sandwich counter. But they won't sell you one from the sandwich counter until 10:30. Kinda weird.
Sweet Vintage LadyOctober 31, 2012When all the other restaurants are closed between and 2 and 5 pm, this is the place to go!
