The crews were polite, calm, and very accommodating. They let us chose where we want to sit and gave a complimentary bread. I think the only downside is the plating of our pizza baguette, I’m expecting a lot more but it was overall good and they really have a huge amount of food which is very affordable and sulit for us.
I can't believe I was intimated by this fancy-looking place for so long and missed out on such good quality pastries! I wasn't able to take a decent photo of their chocolate almond croissant but it was HEAVENLY! It was literally straight out of the oven. Their coffee is great too and even the strawberry tart was delicious! Amazing place for breakfast but there's no harm in having pastries and coffee anytime of the day, right!
Ordered the Potato Pancake with Smoked Salmon (P290), and OMG, it was just perfect! There was a generous serving of salmon, smoked to perfection! The smoked flavor goes so well with the potato pancake👌 Will surely go back to try other dishes, especially their pastries! Food: 5/5 | Ambiance 5/5 | Value for Money: 5/5

My first time in this branch and it’s so pretty with its high ceiling and elegant interiors. The cushioned seats need cleaning though.
My companion and I enjoyed our orders and they were priced reasonably at less than ₱300 each plus service charge. They serve complimentary bread (though I wish they served it hot, will try to request next time) and the butter, although unsalted, was so good and fresh and served in a cute little container (see photo).
My companion had the Omelette Complète and said it was good. I had the Smoked Salmon Croissant and I enjoyed it very much, it had cream cheese, spinach and many other seasonings & toppings inside. The croissant was soft and buttery that I was tempted to get a separate one but decided instead to pinch off some parts without filling and spread on the complimentary butter - perfect combination! My sandwich came with a side of potato wedges that were hot and crisp plus a simple salad too which I loved to eat along with a bite of the smoked salmon (esp the arugula, yum!).
I’ve been to other Paul branches and I remember enjoying the Strawberry Eclair too, unfortunately on this visit, the last piece was gone by the time I finished my meal.
I glanced upon some signs regarding their promos like unlimited coffee or tea for only ₱150, 7pm onwards if I’m not mistaken, as well as the closing hours discount on their breads and pastries. Check out their social media account for the full details because they’re pretty good deals.
They have a restroom inside the restaurant for guests.
There is complimentary 2 hours parking for a minimum bill of ₱500 at the building’s parking with a few slots (maybe 4) reserved for Paul’s customers. Otherwise, there are some open parking lots in the surrounding area too.

The food is delicious! Unfortunately I don’t really like their bread, maybe is not my type because mostly they use hard flour.
The price is quite expensive.
The ambiance is so cozy and the service is good .
My favorite croissant and pain au chocolat place. I get them here at least twice a week. Their bread is so crisp and fresh, and the interiors are lovely. I really shouldnt put off having a proper sit down breakfast here soon.
Also had brunch with a friend here and loved their seafood pasta. It was delicious.
Place:
✅great Parisian ambiance
Must try:
✅Macarons - pistachio
✅their entire bread selection
✅croque monsieur
✅Paul burger
Service:
✅Good
I've been to their BGC 30th, rizal drive branch a couple of times to dine and buy breads. But my last visit was not good. Coffee came in late without the milk and sugar. I had to ask for it, but the waiter gave me sugar only. I had to ask again. I still gave 4 stars because their food is good and I had no issues with my previous visits.
I wished there's more offerings during breakfast.
Food - 4. High-end Filipino breakfast. Served with veggies and poached egg with hollandaise sauce. Complimentary bread is nice.
Ambiance - 5. Cozy, Classy and Homy vibes.
Service - 4. Server is really attentive and friendly.
Order: Filipino Tocino Breakfast; Complimentary Bread and Butter; and Crepe with Chocolate and Chantilly
*I even got a 5th year anniversary gift (pastries) from them*
Being located at a convenient place, this became my adda during a recent visit to Manila.
They serve great pasta, good sandwiches and Fantastic coffee. Also a vegetarian like me can eat without being worried of having his 'Dharam Bhrasht'
Go for it. You won't get disappointed :)
I am a big macaroon fan of paul’s. They have cheap macaroons that when you are in dire of getting a dozen you wont ever think of regretting as to where your money has gone into. Their macaroons are not super sweet that you’s enjoy finishing the entire box in maybe an hour, I guess? 😉
The eclair is really good here. It’s bigger and has better filling than the other I’ve tried. The hazelnut is my favorite. Wish it had more nuts on it.
Established in 1889, this renowned upmarket patisserie and boulangerie chain still carries on the quintessential French cuisine flavours across the Globe. I simply love their croissants and macarons. They have lots of options to choose from be it any time of the day - especially breakfast. The ambience transports you to an era where we could simply hold a book and spend hours. Mobiles and laptops are like a square peg in a round hole! You can literally forget the world sipping on a cappuccino along with a Palmier to go with it. We need such cafes to exist in this world which holds on to tradition and co-exists with chains like Starbucks of the world!
Would have loved such chains in India!
Just looking the cafe from the outside, I knew that it's going to cost me more. Well, It's imported from France. That's for sure! The atmosphere of the place is very impressive, the interiors feel expensive. Very french. My shyness took over me so I was not able to take more pictures.
Paul's pricing can be intimidating, especially on their Main Entrees but based on my experience you will surely get your money's worth.
The place looks good and cozy. I ordered Eggs Benedict coz I heard it’s one of the bests. I must say that the meal was so heavy. Despite it was one of the breakfast offerings, I wasn’t able to finish it. I think it could be my lunch as well. I also ordered Paul’s hot chocolate drink. It was too thick so I asked for hot water to neutralize its thickness.
Paul has become a global brand with a lot of outlets in France and in many countries. In France however it is a bakery and salon de the. In the Philippines ut is also a restaurant. Food is pretty authentic and bread is excellent. Prices are reasonable. Service is good although a little rushed. I love the decorin this outlet. Good for its traditional french dishes and its bread dishes. Pastries are among the best you can find in the Philippines. Soft background music. Recommended
I got here together with college barkada for our project to eat in a French restaurant and this is our top choice. Fortunate for us, who took effort to travel BGC, food taste delicious, our waiter is way way accommodating to accept our never-ending requestssss!! Thanks Paul, the waiter and Paul, the restaurant lol. Overall, it is a fine experience to feel once in a while :) Worth the money guys try niyo na, serving is enough for one person.

Entered the place at around 8:00pm and on a weekday, the place is not crowded.
Ambiance: I love the neatness of the interior design with bright lights. It makes the foods look good on my cheap smartphone camera. Some calming french music with enough volume so you could still talk to fam/friends to catch up.
Service: Good. polite staff.
FOOD!!! oh yes, the food is AWESOME. First, the complimentary bread, it is warm and crispy on the edges, soft to the center served with good quality butter. I ordered the Paul Burger(Php370)... love it! The first bite is heavenly. The bread has the right crisp and the BEEF, I could taste a lot of pepper flavor with some other herb I could not identify. The patty is really well-seasoned. I just can't stop eating it so finished the huge serving. There are pickles in my burger, I don't like pickles so I just removed it. But no biggie. Maybe on my next visit, I'll ask them to remove it. There is also a generous salad on the side. I could taste the freshness of veggies, those are a bit sweet and crispy. Potato wedges are average. My friend ordered croissant sandwich(Forgot the name) and it also superb. It has the right crisp and salt. Meals are great value for money, a bit pricey, yeah but you could actually get what you'll pay for.
Will definitely come back!
And if you use Visa credit card, you can get 20% discount with min of P1000 bill. Initial bill was 980. Bought macarons for take out(Haven't tasted yet) to avail discount hahah!
Paul is a franchise of a bakery in France. They have numerous chains, and now they are here in Manila.
Interiors:
The inside is just like being in a Parisian coffee shop, wooden fixtures, small tables, and the smell of freshly baked bread.
What to Order;
Try their pasties, it's a goodie. Our favorite is the eclair with strawberries or rasberries on top. The cream is light, the bread is puffy and the fruits cuts some citrus notes on the entire dessert.
Eggs benedict was also very good. Farmers ham on a biroche bun topped with a poached egg and drizzled with creamy and rich hollandaise sauce.
Paul is definitely a nice place to have breakfast, pair it with coffee or freshly squeezed orange juice.
Had lunch here last week and it was awesome! Food was great and athmosphere was just perfect! Would definitely come back here. My first time at Paul was in Paris last year and im really happy they’ve branched out in Phils we get to experience their food as well especially the dessert!
Moelleux Chocolate
It is served in a simple white plate with crumbs gently falling down its sides. I cut my fork into it to get a piece. I slightly open my mouth and let the moist cake dissolve inside. It is so soft that I almost do not need to chew it. It’s not that sweet like the usual cakes but I dig it. It has a more tangy, dark chocolate taste to it.
Cafe Gourmand
It is consisted of a big cafe latte cup with 3 pastel-colored macarons — chocolate, lemon and strawberry. The cafe latte has that bitter aftertaste which I look for in a coffee. The milk infused in it made it a little lighter, sweeter in a way. The macarons on the other hand, taste divine — almost heavenly, I believe. Interchanging flavors of sweetness and the fruity filling made me fall for it from the get-go. I can’t honestly pick a favorite.

I'm in love with this resto especially their Bench Tower branch! Super classy interiors and their pastries and desserts are already food for your eyes! Their French Toast and Bacon are good! So is their Eclair aux fraises which is a must try! Their coffees are perfect for your caffeine fix. IG worthy for every food and every corner of the place. 👌👌👌
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Place is nice, I like the fact that even the seats at the far end near bench tower entrance is smoke free!
Food: Paul means posh boulangerie. So macarons are good! Fine crunch and not overwhelmingly sweet macaron taste! Great that they have bite size! I choose pink! Strawberry!
While waiting for your order, they will serve a basket of complimentary bread that are freshly baked and superb in quality! Not a bread person but definitely enjoyed the "bread experience"
Why only 3.5 rating? Well, almost 4, if not for the too salty Vegetable and Seafood Pasta. The ingredients are definitely superb but you see, if you have olives and capers, the dish will tend to be salty. Add more seafood, and the dish indeed becomes all too salty. The chef is nice to modify my order though. But I guess the dish is meant to be salty which defeats my purpose of happy eating. My suggestion is to rethink the recipe like fewer of this one and more of this one to balance the taste and let the freshness of the vegetable harmonize with seafood to stand out! Good thing bread is good to alter the salty feels of my taste buds!
And so on my second visit, I tried Pesto and Cream Pasta! Superb! I must say! Just the right pesto and creaminess! I paired it with Paul Macaron Frappe! Berries of course.
Would love to try their eggs benedict and some other main course. I might give them better rating. But yes, the good ambiance made my dining experience notable!
We love their English breakfast and all their breads doesn't only smell good but tastes really good. It's perfect for breakfast and brunch. I love the ambiance of the place, too!
The ambiance is good. Not so intimate and cozy but a cute place. They serve really good coffee. Their pastries are also really good. A must try are their breads and macaron.
The foods is everythings are good i love the taste i like it so much and i love the place too for me all perfect

I was dying to have my favorite pair of salmon croissant and cafe mocha.
My Dad tried the beef tapa.
My lil one had her usual mini chocolate croissant.
I requested for my side salad to be upgraded to a full serving. For an additional of Php40, I had my fill to my heart's content.
Fresh greens whipped with simple dressing!
Perfect Wednesday brunch❤️
Service is personal and prompt.
This Paul branch almost always lives up to its high expectations on both food and customer service.
Happy customers we are....yay👏
Yes it's pricey, no doubt.
Here's the good thing, they have bite size croissants and all other assortments of pastries that even shoestring explorers can afford. Its not much, but it's a start!
Truth is, they are marketed as an "alta" boulangerie. But its no different from other more authentic French cafes in the market (ok, I actually only have one in mind - LCdF). The food they serve are well prepared, the bright space, very frenchy black and white theme and floor to ceiling glass panels.
They have half-sized orders or just share the big sandwich with a friend.
Php 400 - 600 for a meal.

I still have to try some of their dishes but for a quick brekky, this croissant with butter and jam can start your day. :) Don't forget to get any of their coffee listings with that! :)
Another favorite brunch place 💕 luxurious ambience and great food! That's why we keep coming back. Omelettes, to side salads, roast chicken and pastas - these are my favorite! And don't forget to try their sweets!

Paul is probably my most visited and my favorite restaurant in the whole country! I love their service, the staff were amazing as always. And the food are superb! I can easily eat whatever it's in their menu from Breakfast to Dinner! Their coffee was nice too and their pastries especially the Strawberry Eclair. The place can be really crowded sometimes specially in lunch time. This restaurant is like my 7/11, I literally buy my breakfast here in the morning. And buy my dinner to go if I need to go to other place. This branch will always have a special place in my heart
Excellent bakery and French resto in BGC. The ambiance is quite relaxing away.from hustle and bustle of malls. Service is efficient and friendly.
Started off with a brewed coffee and Salad Nicoise. Good mesclun salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, hard boiled eggs topped with tuna and olives. Next came Crepe Champignons - mushrooms, bechamel with emmental cheese in a savory pancake. This was very good.
For mains, we shared a Paillasson Saumon Fume - warm potato pancake with cream cheese spread topped with smoked salmon. Quite a unique French dish that almost transported us to Paris! Our final dish was Pan-fried Grouper delicately garnished with vegetables and served on Potato Dauphinoise. Excellent fresh Grouper and small but tasty baked potato slice.
Finished the meal with a Tartellete Chocolat and a chocolate macaron.
Superb food! Place looks very chic! I liked how they decorate the restaurant. A bit pricy but worth it . I hope to go back here soon and try their other menu
We loved the ambience and the food. I requested to have a fettuccine instead of spaghetti and they got the dish i asked for. The bread they serve when you come is warm and perfect. Loved the French cuisine and experience.
place - looks expensive (haha for someone who dines wearing shorts)
food - 5
money -4
environment - relaxing
started with a basket of different breads, sure win! everything on that basket is to be taken home.
theni ordered vegetable and seafood pasta (very tasty and satisfying), plain napoleon (which I had to take home because I was so full but it was deliciously good), and cafe surprise (a slice of chocolaye cake, 2 macaroons and a cup of an aromatic and delicious coffee)
a place you'd want to come back to for a satisfying meal.
Their Salade Crevettes Mangue is one of the best salads that I've tasted in the area. The fresh greens and the smokey tasting shrimps is a feast in the mouth. They have complimentary bread and butter with jam too. Service and ambiance are also great. Just dont be intimidated by the expats who like frequenting the place. :)
Almost everything is good here, from the Sourdough Bread, Pain Au Chocolat to more elaborate pastries like macarons and cheesecakes. The almond croissants are excellent and have an almost cult-like following. It's crispy on the outside, and soft and flavorful on the inside. And unlike most almond croissants, it's not doused in powered sugar.
I also tried the Flan but didn't find it extraordinary. On the sweeter side, try the chocolate eclairs and profiteroles when they're available. I can tell this place is going to be a long-lasting neighborhood staple as long as people know about it! In short: really great pastries and sandwiches (I'm talking top quality and variety). Definitely check this place out.
I find this Paul branch at 30th Street more quiet and intimate than in SM Aura branch. So when in BGC area, I think this branch is better.
The vegetable and seafood pasta that I ordered had a generous portion of salmon. It looked simple as it was only cooked in olive oil but rich in ingredients. It was not salty and there was a balance of all flavors. The price was reasonable. The bread that came with the dish was also tasty (though I expected paté since it's a French restaurant instead of only butter and jam for the spread).
I will definitely come back.
Fancy. The best word to describe this restaurant. I looove the aroma in the restaurant, really enticing and relaxing and soothing. And let's go into the food: I had Pork Adobo. I know what you're thinking, that I ordered something ordinary. But let me stop you right there, just when I thought adobo couldn't get any better, Paul did it! I really can't explain the flavour but it was like an enhanced adobo. I was happy with my breakfast here, although pricey, it ia worth it!

Came here for breakfast on a Saturday morning. Great attentive staff who let me choose a table as I was the only person in the restaurant.
Looked through the elaborate breakfast options and finally settled for a croque monseiur and a lemon iced tea. The iced tea arrived in a couple of minutes and it took about 15 mins for the food to arrive. I was fine with waiting as I had a book to read. I had the eclair aux fraises after breakfast which they prepared fresh.
The iced tea was good but tasted very different from what I'm used to back in India and I prefer the ones in India. The croque monseiur came next and what I hoped would steal the show disappointed me a bit. It lacked flavour, I think I required some ketchup but was too embarrassed to ask for it. Maybe some oregano and chilli flakes could've saved it. Maybe my palette isn't sophisticated enough to appreciate it. It came with a salad which was OK but cut the richness of the croque which I appreciated. Finally on to the eclair which stole the show, it was on the heavier side which I liked and the white chocolate cream was fantastic. The strawberries added the acidity to cut the richness of the food.
I would definitely visit again to try a couple of items on the pastry side and probably another croque.
The meal costed about 720php which I think is pretty high.
Their mushroom soup was the best I've tasted. But I find the prices to be steep especially for the serving size. Bad experience when we dined here because their bathroom was either out of service or somebody had a truckfull of load left there and it was quite smelly from where we were seated.

Loved Paul ever since I tried their food in Aura, and still love it now even if in a different branch!
Ordered my usual Thé surprise (320php) and tried their Poulet et Champignon Pasta (295php). As usual, I loved my Thé surprise!!! The macarons are really good, as they're a baby of Ladureé's. The creme brulee creamy as ever, not too sweet, so good I cant even hide my smile whilst I had it, not to mention I was alone and smiling widely!!! The chocolate cake fudgier than before, yum! How I miss the treats they offer. I really love Paul. Their desserts have the right amount of sugar, not overpowering at all. The four fruits tea is so good as well! They do fruity teas well.
The pasta was also good, not salty at all, serving is huge for the price! I couldnt even finish it. I loved how big the mushrooms were.
Of course the ambiance is perfect! Next time, I'll come earlier to get a good seat with good lighting! And really try their desserts. I must veer away from my favorite--Thé surprise!
Impeccable service. Place is clean! Dont mind walking under the scorching sun from the fort strip to this area just for this!
Superb food at fair price. Wide selection of food choices. Love their macarons and other pastries! The staff was attentive and friendly. The restaurant looks a bit fancy and dramatic (thus intimidating) but once inside it's super chill. The place isn't so crowded even at lunchtime. Perfect place for an afternoon tea party!

A bread lover's heaven. I love love love the Napoleon's flaky pastry and custard filling 😍 And don't get me started about the mini croissant's texture and sweetness... So yummy!
Still the best in town. I ordered Earl Grey Tea that complimented my Apple Turnover. The place is a lil' bit casual than the one in Aura. The sophisticated ambiance is disturbed by its location (with all passersby and cars outside) not a good place to relax. Though their food is as great as it is, the service is more than amazing.

When I'm craving for croissant, Paul is my go to place since it's near my office. This time, I ordered Paul's burger. Cindy ordered macarons. Interiors are very Parisian.
The truth is I really love this place. Their bread is excellent. Their menu is extensive but still in with their theme. Breakfast with Paul's is great

Paul Boulangerie is a French resto with really good desserts and the whole place looks amazing. A step inside will transport you to a French bakery where one can smell fresh baked bread.
The desserts I have had the pleasure of tasting are the Millefeuilles:
Millefeuille Framboise aka Strawberry Millefeuile is a dessert made of custard, strawberries and several thin layers of puff pastry. The result is a bit of a messy eat since the pastry is crunchy and crumbs mighy start flying but it is delicious. Strawberries are tart not sour, custard is light and sweet. Tres Bien!
Millefeuille Chocolate aka Chocolate Millefeuille is of course structured like its strawberry counterpart. Except that the top is covered with sweet chocolate while the inside is chocolate custard. The presentation is simpler than the first millefeuille but I actually like this one better. The chocolate is not too sweet and the crunchiness of the pastry makes for a great combo.
Naturally for their food, I tried their Roast Beef Sandwich which was complete with a side salad and potato wedges. I love their bechamel sauce and the tender roast beef although I do wish there was more of it in the bread, potatos were awesome,soft and easy to eat. The veggies are not wilted and tastes fresh.
Trivia: Boulanger means baker and so Boulangerie means Bakery in French.
The staff are professionals, they are also attentive and friendly.
Oh wait. My only complaint is that they are far from Cubao, my place. Heh.
Be prepared to throw away all your money here. Prices are steep, but worth it. Ordered their Tartine Saumon Fume, It's an open sandwich topped with smoked salmon, cucumber and soft white cheese served cold with a side salad. Everything was top noch. The white cheese was perfectly balanced. Their servings as I mentioned, are tiny but filling. Overall, my first meal at Paul Boulangerie was very satisfying.
Elite and classy place. Perfect for meeting someone over coffee or high tea. Their bakery menu is impressive. Right at the entrance of SM Aura this place is irresistible...
Went for a late breakfast at Paul:
FOOD:
Ordered Plain Croissant, Pain au Chocolat and Croissants aux Amandes. All of them tasted good and fresh.
Ordered a Café Americano to go with it, it was just fine.
INTERIOR / SERVICE:
The interior is well designed, the place looked clean and the service was fast and efficient.
Their menu for breakfast is good. Excellent service and nice food. I would recommend to go during breakfast. Not much to offer for lunch and dinner.

Dining at Paul Boulangerie had me feeling like I'm in France and made me want to speak French even if I do not know the language. It's that good! The price is reasonable, they have big hefty servings and it's really delicious.
We ordered club poulet, paillasson saumon fume, cappuccino, and I forgot the name of the chocolate dessert. Everything was really good. I'm one happy customer.
I just hated the mosquito flying around while we were dining and the place where we were seated was quite hot but other than that it would have been a perfect 5.
Oh the service was good also! 👌🏼
When the service is excellent, your food gets better with it. Nina the store manager made it a point that out groups experience wouldn't be the last. She even gave us three huge Macarons for my friend, Iya. The mocha is best- not too sweet, the fillings complementing with its 'crust'.
Among the photos I took, I ordered the Salmon and Cream Cheese/ Seafood and Vegetable Pasta. Besides achieving what it narrated in their menu, they were also picture perfect. The portions were generous!
All my friends finished their plates and not just because they were hungry. I highly recommended a visit here. Oh, their menu is the best I've seen. It has 33 pages! Says a lot about them.

Tartine Boeuf x Club Poulet x Millefeuille chocolat | Looks could really be deceiving from the outside. Those who happened to pass by at Paul (Fort Area) would probably think that this is only for the 'elite workers' but hey, they serve good breakfast meals below 300PHP. The place was very classic for 'outside work & meetings' plus the food was not your average breakfast sandwhiches/panini/baguet. A bit pricey but definitely a chill place.

I went here not expecting that much honestly. I read the reviews and seemed like a nice enough place, but I was not prepared for my lunch adventure today!
I ordered the soup of the day (French Onion) and a chicken sandwich. Pretty simple.
First comes the house bread. Very elegantly served and very tasty. Shortly after I get the soup which was MUCH better than I hoped or expected. It was a bit on the sweet side and came in a bread bowl. Definitely would order this again. Yum!
Next the sandwich. I did not know it came with fries and a salad or I would have skipped the soup. Salad and fries were nothing special, but that sandwich and the overall plating was beautiful! And the sandwich was delicious on the crusty bread with a mayo / mustard sauce and tomatoes nestled inside. So good!
The best part? The check. All in all including the extra 10% tip I gave was P500. Can't beat that in Global City. Great meal. Great ambiance. Friendly and attentive staff. Al at a reasonable price. What more could you want?
I did have a couple nitpicks. My table was wobbly so I balanced it and did have a visitor to check my meal (fly), but luckily it moved on after a short while.
Overall, I highly, highly recommend a meal here.
I guess somewhere in England "Paul Boulangerie" is a famous boulangerie in which you can buy quality bread, pastries which i often see on my friends fb acct. And so, one fine day I invited my friend to try since weve been seeing this for quite sometime. Ironically I didnt order the usual bread I opt to try "paillason saumon fume" its a smoked salmon and soft cheese spread, the moment i tried it. I must admit it goes beyond what i was expecting, taste real good the fresh salmon and its combination with soft cheese, its sumptous, classy taste! On the other hand the macaroons and, creme brulee taste even better compare to others in which i dont wanna mention. The sad thing is that im a tea and a coffee lover in which they fail to satisfy my taste, taste flat no remarkable taste. Forget there tea and coffee, focus on there specialty pastries, salads etc.focus on there food menu
As soon as you enter this place, you will be greeted by the calmness brought about by its interiors, beautiful food and team wearing clean white uniforms. We went here for dessert and tea after a good breakfast in a nearby place. Considering that Paul originated from Paris, we were surprised by their affordable pastries and food! Their pastries are like works of art and it is reasonably priced. I also love the fact that these are freshly made and they use fresh fruits. The appearance of their desserts matches the goodness of its flavor. We also had a pot of tea and you can request for lemon or milk to add on. Overall, it was a good experience. The service was excellent, our dessert and tea exceeded our expectations and the interiors are really classy and has a relaxing vibe.

It is clearly a high end cafe, with the fancy
French inspired interior (I loved the bookshelves wallpaper) and of course, menu. I came with a friend and ordered the mushroom crepe (crepe champignons) and a pot of Paul Vanille tea. The crepe was light and creamy but the tea seemed a bit watered down. Fortunately the head Chef went out of his way to ask us about our experience, and eventually had us served another pot of tea, this time with the right amount of water. He was polite and concerned with how we were enjoying his food. Interestingly, like one of the reviews I've read here, the staff seems to be partial to foreign customers. The Chef admitted to assuming that I and my friend were either Korean or Japanese, where in fact, we were Filipinos. This left me to wonder if they treated Filipinos in a similar manner, as during our visit, there were mostly foreigners.
It is a fancy place with an equally fancy and perhaps even intimidating menu, as the names of the dishes were in French. It would be a perfect venue if you want a taste of the decadent lifestyle so embodied in French cuisine.
Strategically located in a busy street in Global City right at the heart of its corporate district, this restaurant gives a clean, bright, authentic French culinary ambiance... perfect for people who want to take a break and have a satisfying fill from a hectic day's work. A beautiful view of colorful and appetizing bread and pastries welcome customers right as they enter the establishment. Then, the menu with a detailed description of the individual dishes... a foreshadowing of a delicious experience ahead. From salad to main dish to dessert (and a serving of hot tea to complete the meal), a random pick from the wide selection of food in the menu surely brings back customers to try more and more of Paul.
When we went here, we were the only filipinos and I can see the difference on how they treat foreigners very well, but I actually went here for the food and i liked it bec the taste is not something you can achieve at home lol(or as for me) and I'm glad that they give you a complimentary appetizer and dessert. A must place to come back very soon:)
Paul impressed me with their Tartine saumon fumé and their croque monsieur. They were absolutely mouthwatering and full of flavor!! their pastries were fine as well but definitely out shined by the savory dishes.
Fresh pastries strong coffee (just how I like it!) And delicious entrees. I particularly like how clean the place is (including their washroom!). Servers were attentive and courteous 😊
Love the French vibe going on at Paul's. And of course, I do love their food as well. I had omelette while my friends had salmon. I tell you, Paul's a little bit expensive but worth a visit.
By the way, great service!
Whether it's a workday or a weekend, a visit at Paul's is what you need if you're looking for good food. I've had their Beefroast sandwich a couple of times and it's always just as good as having the Mushroom toast for breakfast or lunch. You might also wanna try their hot and creamy Chocolat Viennoise, it's love at first sip! Generally, overall service is good except for that last time I ordered Eclair aux Fraises when the cashier didn't attend to me and never bothered to ask if I already had my order taken. I was second in line, but she then entertained another customer who was right behind me, considering there weren't too many people at the time. I'd say just a little brushing up on the customer service side of things which I think shouldn't be that hard to do. :)
this my first time at Paul 30th ave at bench tower, the parking lot is so full during week days, Sunday it opens at 8am til 9pm daily.
their baguettes are still in the oven by 8am will be available at 930am , I ordered omelet with black mushroom and cheese, the consistency of the egg is alright, not as expertly done at Bizu but it tasty andbigger servings
the waiter is a bit nervous, said he United States a week old in his job, but overall I like the ambiance , the French music and the friendly atmosphere@
My friend and I decided to spend a relaxing Independence Day afternoon in Paul. He ordered his usual Brewed Coffee while I had my usual Cafe Moka. His was accompanied by an order of Baked Donut with Dried Raspberry Filling. While mine was partnered with my favorite Eclair Aux Fraises (Strawberry Eclair) which is a bestseller in Paul. Since it is Philippine Independence Day today, my eclair was adorned with a cute Philippine Flaglet on top. A simple but enjoyable way of spending the holiday.
French cuisine in Philippines? Walang Problema!! Head to Paul Boulangerie and Patisserie and satisfy that craving. With a wide array of dishes this is a great place for a business luncheon.
Try the tartine dishes. Palaisson champignons is a great veggie option that I relished. I also got to know that the piece de bueof is also a great find in their menu.
Their fruit and vegetable juices add another dimension to their French dishes.
Fantastic! I am very satisfied with our food they are simple but packed with flavor.
Our deserts, bravo! :) Strawberry Napoleon and Creme brûlée is a must try!
Cliche as it sounds - but their Croissant is love at first bite. It was flaky but it had light denseness that was most satisfying. The open sandwiches are great too for a light tasty meal. And the pastries would...yum!!!!

Had salade saumon roti or simply salmon salad and mint iced tea. The salad was just perfect. The greens were crisp with little moist. The salmon was perfectly cooked (seared I guess) flaked and sprinkled over the salad topped with sesame seed. The salmon flake is adequately served and didn't just served as decoration. One thing though about the salad is that they used the regular tomatoes (sliced). I would have preferred cherry tomatoes.
The mint iced tea was strikingly minty, you can really taste the mint flavor which I guess works wonders to people who love mint. One thing though the sweetness seems to be a hit or miss. The last time a friend of mine had it, says its too sweet. Luckily the one served for me was just right. Not too sweet, but really was minty - perfect for me I'd say.
I'll give the salmon salad a 9/10, missing a point because of the tomato and a 9/10 for the mint iced tea, as it seems to be a hit or miss on the sweetness.
The price, I'll give it a 7/10. Kind of a little pricey.

I've been to Paul Boulangerie for several times now but it never fails to surprise me every single visit.
The first time I visited the store which was last year, I ordered their strawberry pastry (I actually forgot the name) and it is bloody perfect!!!!! I highly recommend this to all bread lovers.
Their coffee on the other hand is very affordable compared to other overrated coffee shops. There was nothing special when it comes to the quality of the coffee. It's a nice place indeed!!!!
Was on a search for a good breakfast place that had WiFi so I could be productive while having my morning sustenance. I've tried their pastries before but none of their meals so I decided to give it a try. Parking can be found across the place. I had the cafe au lait, which I enjoyed (but I am not a coffee connoisseur), and the eggs benedict. There is complimentary bread with butter & jam. The eggs benedict were not only superb in taste (perfectly seasoned & poached egg) but also large in serving. The asparagus, tomatoes and salad that came with it were seasoned perfectly as well. I wanted to have some millefeuille nature after but there was no way I could some more. The ambiance was great if you just need your own space & the music just right so as not to distract you.
Note: If they offer you bottled water, remember that it comes with a corresponding charge. :-)
I was elated to discover a lemon meringue tartlet on their menu. The whipped cream is slightly sweet, but balances out great with the tartness of the lemon base.
Their saumon fume sandwich is was delicious and just the right portion. It separated itself from the masses with its true brown European grain bread and crisp cubed cucumber salad.
The raspberry macaron frappe tasted like a macaron (but not very raspberry like) but not something I would like to order again.
I love their chocolate croissant and chocolate donut =) Yum! Just thinking abt it is so sinful =p
Ive also tried their roasted chicken...it definetly worth trying it out despite the cost. The best roasted chicken ive tasted so far. I dont eat carrots but they made me eat tbe carrots they cooked with it. Savory and well marinated. Meat is tender. Incomparable.
They also got the best orange juice ive tasted. I knw. Its just juice. But ive tried other fresh orange juice but it doesnf taste like theirs =p
