The food here is always fresh and the staff are always willing to please you anyway they can. It is reasonably clean too. Wish it was a bit better airconed but then it is in kind of a hallway. All and all pretty good.
Thank you for selling your breads and pastries at 50% less before the mall closes. It has been our habit to queue earlier to be ahead of everyone. :)
My nephew and niece love the pasta dishes here. Unfortunately, their mac and cheese was not available so we opted for their beef lasagna and carbonara which were both exquisite! I enjoyed the dough of their all-meat pizza. One slice was equivalent to an entire meal and I had to cajole my nephew to take a bite because it was filling. Their chicken ala king has a savory taste. It matches so well with the bread used. It simply melts in the mouth. The cordon blue is tender yet has a crunchy exterior.
We love the pleasant staff here!

The French Baker is always reliable. I'm just knocking off points because they got my order wrong the first time. They did replace the pasta I ordered as soon as I told them about it. I tend to go for their snack options. Might have to try the heavier items next time.
I really like the food they serve here, and the breads and pastries are reasonably priced. There's also Wi-Fi and there are many power outlets, so it's an okay place for students. I say 'okay' and not 'good' because the place can get quite hot, since it's located in the bridgeway between Ali Mall and SM Cubao and the air-conditioning isn't that great. Also, since it's located in the bridgeway, many people pass by. This makes the place quite noisy.
The staff are okay, but sometimes they don't see people calling for them because the chairs are quite tall. If you really want to come here, come at night when it's not that hot anymore. Their brownies are really good!
This branch of French Baker is a hideaway. Located along the bridgeway connecting SM Cubao to Ali Mall, this place is not known to many. With many booth type tables it's perfect for quiet and private meals, as well as a venue for serious meetings.
They offer here the time-tested French inspired dishes that this French Baker has been known for since the first one opened at SM North back in the late '80's. Chicken ala King, anyone?
Order a coffee, read a book, relax.

We ate hickory spareribs and chicken parmigiana fettucini. Food's good :)
It was just weird that they didnt have salt and pepper shakers. Was like they dont expect customers to make taste changes in their food.
The service isnt much to expect from as they weren't smiling much and were always doing something that even asking for water seemed a burden to them.
The water they serve though, has an orange/lemon piece in, and provides a clean fresh taste.
I tasted their mango (ice blended with jelly) and it tasted artificial flavor to me.. BUT I really love their croissants, turnovers and garlic bread.. they handle food better than what I experienced in Cafe France..
yummy pasta'sssssss! 👌 + chicken ala king is a must try
(French classical flaky shell stuffed with chunks of chicken in creamy "a la king" sauce and sided with honey balsamic greens, buttered corn and carrots..)
I've been to this place at least thrice. I keep coming back coz I love their mango and pandan freeze. Food options were ample. I've tried their blue cheese burger and pork chop au poivre and it's not bad...
Service is fast and staff are nice. Delightful ambiance.
Service : The service is just okay. Not really commendable but not worth the complaining tho. Just the typical service.
Ambiance : The music is kind of noisy plus given the fact that the place is not that cold. So, I am not really comfortable while eating.
Food : The food is just okay. Not really something I can proudly call French cuisine but, at least they tried to serve healthier food.
Not a fan of French Baker's Grilled Chicken with Mango Salsa... The chicken had a bitter-sweet taste, and the bitter part is overpowering, like it's almost burnt. The mango salsa, however, was quite good and refreshing. I'm glad my boyfriend and I ordered a slice of pizza and pasta as well. For dessert, we had strawberry cheesecake, and I was really amused when they served it because of the almonds on the whipped cream! Yum!
My girlfriend loves bread, So we tried this restaurant, it turns out not that bad, It's located at the skyway of Ali-Mall to SM Cubao,
The food was very tasty, I was so happy because the food presentation was very cute, Bread's yummy It has a soup in it overall, French Baker was amazing 🙌🏼
Almost all branches of SM you will find a French Baker. This place is near the entrance of SM (Cubao) if coming from SM going to Ali Mall and vice versa. Every thing is good at French Baker. The food, pastries, bread, soup, even the service. Their Caesar Salad for me is the best it has generous fillings of grilled chicken and crunchy bacon strips. For pasta, i like the Creamy Sea food pasta so creamily delicious.
The French Baker's been around for a while and I find it too nostalgic whenever I come to visit their branches. Hickory BBQ spareribs with vegetables and rice on the side = the bomb! I don't really like ordering anything else. My friend had the chicken cordon bleu and she told me it tasted good as well but I'm never changing my order. Been eating their awesome Hickory spareribs since I was a child and the taste is still the same and thank God for that.

I couldn't remember the last time I went to French Baker. If my memory serves me right, I think it was when I was still in college.
French Baker isn't just famous for their breads and pastries or their 20% off deal starting 8PM until closing. Actually, they are also known for serving good food.
I was really surprised when I saw their branch here. It was not the usual French Baker that I got used to going for the past years. Tables and chairs were different. It's fancy similar to fine dining restaurants. They even have flowers in the middle of the table. And their house water, served with lemon, and mint. Many has really changed and I could say it was for the better. I just hope the quality of their food remained.
You don't need to go to counter anymore to order. There are attendants who roam around the restaurant to get your order. The menu is already placed on your table. The only time that you need to get up and go to the counter, is to pay the bill. Since WI-FI is very famous to some establishments especially coffee houses, they are now also offering it. I can really say the French Baker is coping up with the new trend.
The physical feature is not the only thing that changed, even their set of meals were upgraded. There are so many selection to choose from. But as for me, I still stick to what I got used to. . .Beef Lasagna. It is still the same meaty and also cheesy lasagna I've been enjoying for over a decade now. The serving is still quite big, good for two so you really know your money's worth.
My friend was more of a chicken lover. She tried their Chicken Cordon Bleu which wasn't available or wasn't yet introduced when we used to go there. It is served with a one-piece crispy chicken on top of a mashed potato, complimentary soup, rice in a triangular shape, and steamed mixed vegetables. Even the presentation was new and appealing.
Chicken was well cooked. Cheese was so creamy. You can really savor it from the moment you tear the chicken apart. Mixed vegetables weren't overcooked so it's a bit crunchy that made it yummy. I could say that I also enjoyed my friend's meal because we love sharing and exploring each others' meal. That's why we always have this agreement to order different types of dish so we both experience it.
And as for our dessert, I ordered Carrot Bar. It's a bread cut as long as the usual garlic sticks but thicker. It was really good. I mean it wasn't as sweet as the other cakes, it doesn't have any icing or whatsoever. Sometimes simplicity has it's way to please you.
I definitely recommend French Baker to those people who love good food but not into fine dining. It's just a casual restaurant with a twist. It can be very intimate or can also be for friends who just want to chat and hang-out. I also recommend this for families.
