Other branches of Paul in London:
Hampstead, Marylebone, The CityPaul reviews
My wife and I live in Bristol and don't get to go to the capital that often, but when we do we always have breakfast or brunch here. We love it! We like to sit at the back of the place in front of the bread ovens. It feels really authentic French cafe with its tiles and tablecloths. OK, maybe you could say it's a French Starbucks, like someone here said. But who cares?! They make incredible mille-feuilles and do a great 'steamer', which is hot milk and a dash of hazelnut. The whole place has left a lasting impression on all our friends from Bristol.
by weeble, 03 Apr 2008Us 'poor Brits' (as some fool titles us) have highly developed tastebuds thanks to our open-mindedness that the French do not possess. Yes, it's a chain in France but, unlike tatty French wine, we don't get served the same tatty food that the French put up with in France. I know my food, and if it's rubbish I send it back. On the few occasions I've eaten the food from here it was very good indeed. Perhaps they saw you coming! Stay away from France and eat and drink well in London.
by John67, 10 Mar 2008It appears the poor Brits have been sucked in by the fake beams and wicker baskets - yuk!!
by smithy124 (2 reviews), 10 Dec 2007I can't believe some of the comments regarding Paul. It's a huge chain in France, churning out factory produced crap. Don't be fooled by the flashy branding, this is the Starbucks of the bakery world. The pits.
by jeanmarc, 13 Aug 2007Delicious pastries and breads and a wonderful cafe with a friendly atmosphere.
It is a French cafe, and when I went there were many French people were there, who appeared to greatly enjoy the food, and so obviously it is rated by the French even by their standards! I highly recommend it.
Delicious chocolate and lemon cakes... Sarah's going back to London just for some more.
