Paillard is a MUST if you love French pastries or any french food for that matter! The cases are a…read morestream of breads, cookies, croissants, rolls, macaroons, sandwhiches, quiche and the list goes on! I heard about this place so of course I went in. It's hard to pick as each item looks better than the last. Sticking with the basics though, croissant, almond filled croissant and a hazelnut roll. Oh my gosh. The almond filling was amazing. Like a marzipan but lighter and more almond flavor. Generously filled into a sliced croissant. The hazelnut roll;similiar to a cinnamon roll but an elevated taste with real hazelnut paste. Basically everything in that bakery is top drawer as they are using pure ingredients. Definitely stop in and try anything. No disappointments only regrets that you eat more!

Fresh is best and Paillard does this so right! We were checking out of our hotel and looking for a…read morequick breakfast to grab before heading to the airport. The place is huge when you walk in, lots of places to sit and enjoy you baked good. We got coffees to go and two cheese croissants and a toasted smoked salmon bagel. The cheese croissants were fresh, fluffy, buttery and layered. They just do pastries better in QC than home (Vancouver). The cheese was nicely distributed through the croissant too. My salmon bagel was also a star! So fresh, good toppings and great crunch. The bagel was chewy and delicious too. Service was fast and we enjoyed everything we had!

It has that effortless charm that makes you want to linger a little longer. They offer a great selection of sandwiches, baked goods, and pastries -- everything displayed beautifully and clearly made with care. I ordered a chocolate croissant, ham & brie sandwich, and a matcha latte. - The croissant was flaky with a rich chocolate centre. - The sandwich was fresh, generously filled, and well balanced. - The matcha latte was smooth and not overly sweet. Portions are solid, ingredients taste fresh, and prices are very reasonable for the quality. A lovely spot to pop into when you're in the area.

This is a bright, airy, and inviting cafe with several tables and a long counter facing the street for seating. Friendly and welcoming service. I really liked the vibe inside the cafe. It is located about 1.5 blocks behind the Delta hotel on Rene Lévesque Boulevard and a walkable distance to the entrance of the historic part of old Quebec City. I had the New York Roll Croissant, filled with a raspberry pastry cream and a white chocolate ganache on the outside. I loved it! My matcha latte with oat milk could have been a little warmer. I highly recommend a visit to this cafe!

This location was right around the corner from our hotel. After a long day on the road, this was an…read moreeasy place to have a filling but also tasty meal. The smoked meat was as you would expect from a Quebec restaurant - they know how to make it. The pasta was good and home-made. Service was quick and responsive. We didn't have to wait long and our meal was on the table in front of us. There are a few TVs around the facility. Tables and chairs are average quality. It's not necessarily the ambiance you are going for. But it was clean.

Our family really enjoyed our experience here. The service and staff were very warm and welcoming…read more The place was casual and really comfortable for our family, which included a 3 and 6 year old. The staff was very kind and patient, as we were somewhat indecisive. We didn't feel rushed and they were able to make suggestions for the kids. The menu had enough variety for us to choose from where we didn't feel overwhelmed nor did we feel like we had to settle with a dish. Everything tasted fresh and was very well presented. The portions were extremely generous. My family enjoyed their choices. I really enjoyed the pulled pork pizza - it had a nice drizzle on it - the flavors made it more sweet than savory, which I didn't mind, because I ordered a side of fries too. LOL. When we were leaving the owner thanked us and welcomed us back any time. It was all around a great experience...and within walking distance to our hotel (Hotel Pur).

La maisonnette et la terrasse sont si mignonnes et pittoresques, un endroit merveilleux pour prendre une collation. J'ai été rejoint par un beau coq - un peu effronté mais poli... J'ai partagé un peu de mon palmier avec lui et il a semblé apprécier. Je ne pense pas que ce soit son premier. Après mon expresso, je suis retourné et j'ai trouvé de merveilleux souvenirs, notamment des t-shirts, des sweats à capuche, des vestes et il y avait tellement d'articles pour la maison que je voulais mais que je savais qu'ils ne rentreraient pas dans ma valise. Pourtant, j'ai aussi acheté un magnifique livre pour enfants "Dorianne et Edgar sauvent Noel à l'île d'Orléans" de l'auteure locale Martine Patoine et c'est ravissant. Je n'avais pas réalisé que la copie m'avait posé un problème et, par chance, j'étais garée juste à côté de l'auteur et son mari et son adorable chien m'en ont donné une toute nouvelle parfaite de leur voiture. La chance! Une boutique délicieuse, une tarte aux pommes et un café merveilleux et plein de bonnes choses à l'intérieur! ***** I heard from a few people that the apple pie here was wonderful, so after lunch I stopped in for an apple pie with caramel sauce and espresso. The playhouse and patio are so cute and quaint, a wonderful place to grab a snack. I was joined by a handsome rooster - a little cheeky but polite... I shared some of my palmier with him and he seemed to appreciate it. I don't think this was his first. After my espresso I went back and found some wonderful souvenirs including t-shirts, hoodies, jackets and there were so many home items that I wanted but knew they wouldn't fit in my suitcase. However, I also bought a wonderful children's book "Dorianne and Edgar save Noel on the Island of Orleans" by local author Martine Patoine and it is delightful. I didn't realize I had a problem with the copy and luckily I was parked right next to the author and her husband and adorable dog gave me a perfect brand new one from their car . How lucky! A delicious apple pie and coffee, a wonderful apple pie and coffee, a wonderful shop and lots of goodies inside!
