This place was one of my favorites to visit and enjoy the Portugal experience. In the morning, I'd walk over while the city was waking up and enjoy my well prepared latte and delicious pastry. Here is where I'd reflect on the beauty and energy of Lisbon. I was grateful to be here at this time watching people engaging in conversations and living. The service here was always great and the ambiance was wonderful. I'm returning again to relive the experience. The baguette sandwiches were tasty. Prices were reasonable. In read more

A great place to stop by for an afternoon pastry. I was able to get a table around 4:30pm when it wasn't too busy. The service was great! The pastries were delicious, particularly the pastel de nata and gourmandise. read more

Fantastic bakery! You must order the brownie. It was to die for. The coffee is also good and the pastries are fresh. Also the strawberry tarte was great read more

My first night in Lisbon. We know of the Paul brand. 2 great sandwiches for a hotel pic nic meal. Add a couple sodas and pick up some fries , easy inexpensive meal. Great sandwich choices at Paul. They are all over the world. Yum! read more

We enjoyed our breakfast here on a rainy Thursday. The cappuccinos we had were delicious and a perfect size. I got a large chocolate pastry and a macaroon. The vanilla macaroon was the perfect texture for a macroon and not too sweet. The chocolate pastry was fantastic and I'd order it again. Seating was plentiful outside, and the service was great. I'd recommend giving Paul a try! read more

We came for a quick breakfast of sandwiches and a hot drink. The food and drinks were okay, but unfortunately our experience was tainted by some super aggressive pan handlers. One wanted to take the bread out of my hand as I was eating it. Asking why I wouldn't give it to him and arguing when I said no. My partner had to firmly tell him to go away immediately. Another literally growled at a mother and young kid when they were walking past. It was the most uncomfortable meal we had as we were constantly on the lookout. The waiters can not be expected to tell them off as it can be understandably dangerous. Lesson learnt: do not sit outside unless you want to be harassed for the whole time. Sit inside. read more

I couldn't believe that the chicken sandwich had 4 tiny pieces of chicken on the edge and the rest all bread. The bread was delicious but I could have saved 6 E and bought a baguette. Nothing like in Paris! Very disappointing. read more

Great cappuccinos and confections! Also great for people watching. This was at the Lisboa location. read more

By far my favorite spot to grab lunch! Gotta get one of the sandwiches. The bread is freshly baked and has just the right texture. I normally cannot finish a whole sub but easily finished this sandwich without trouble. It was that delicious. read more

Paul - Fresh mozzarella, and pesto! - Bakeries Near Me - Lisbon, 11

I came here for breakfast two mornings in a row for some freshly squeezed orange juice and a cappuccino. I also tried some of their freshly baked pastries including a croissant, chocolate croissant, and apricot pastry. The croissants were very good and flaky. The apricot pastry was good but the apricots were quite sour. Overall, a pretty cheap and conveniently located breakfast place in Lisbon. I would definitely recommend stopping by for a morning coffee. read more

One of the original French bakery in Portugal. Started in 1889 by Mr Paul Amazing pastries One of the best coffees and pasteis de Nata/famous egg tart ice tasted. Much better than manteigaria read more

Got an almond croissant. The filling was yummy, but the crust wasn't flakey and the croissant wasn't airy (see image for how flat it is). This was in the early morning, so I was expecting fresher pastries :/ read more

My beautiful, amazing wife and I were on our honeymoon in Lisboa, Portugal. In the Rossio - Baixa - Chiado we discovered them. At least twice, to three times a day we passed by for breakfast, a nosh, or something to take away back to our hotel. The food is top notch! We were really hard pressed, as we missed it when we were heading home. We discovered a Paul's in the Checz Republic, however, it's not the Lisboa' Paul's... Figured they cater to each region they're in... and you can't get any better than this! When we return to Lisboa, we'll be stopping by Paul's once again! read more

Ok, it was after 10:00 pm and after a long day and over 6 miles of walking, we were starving!!!! We saw this Paul and thought it will be a good idea, well, it was. Delicious sandwich with mushrooms ( sooooo many and tasty) cheeses, and the best service. This location of Paul has a seating area inside and outside. Please check out my pictures and see those amazing loaves of bread and desserts, I wished I had a bigger tummy to eat them all! read more

This is a great place to sit and people watch while enjoy a light meal or drinks on Liberty Ave. There are lots of sandwiches and pastries to choose from. This cafe is in a great location right in the middle of the main avenue. It's tourist central but you are in the heart of it all and it's great people watching. It's counter service but the servers were fast and friendly with the orders. Sandwiches were decent. It's a good pitstop. FYI watch your belongings as it's busy here. read more

This is a lovely place to get coffee, pastries, and sandwiches in the main shopping district of Lisbon. If you're just looking for a place to order a coffee and something small to eat, then this is a great option! They have a huge selection of fresh baked pastries and ready made sandwiches which they heat up fresh for you. There are only a few tables inside, but they have many outside, in front of the shop. One thing to note though, is that they do NOT wait the tables outside. You must go inside to order and then you can go outside to sit and eat. I mention this because I sat outside and initially waited for someone to come take my order, but no one did. I eventually caught on, but after I had gotten my food and was sitting down, I noticed the same confusion happening with other customers. Overall though, a great place with tasty food! read more

Paul is a wonderful place to while away an hour people-watching or daydreaming over great coffee, a sandwich and a pastry or two, so I did exactly that daydreaming over a great coffee and a palmier and ace friendly service. The cost for this in their petite cafe in downtown Lisbon was about £5 so it's pricy compared to the local competition, but in my view worth every penny as a treat. The company now operates in 29 countries pitching its price structure to what a local market will bear, so had I been in London I could expect to pay closer to £7 for this treat. For those who don't know, Paul specialises in traditional French baking; bread, sandwiches, hot panini, soups, salads, cakes and pastries. The Paul family have nothing to do with this business. The Paul family bakery-pâtisserie business began in 1889. The family sold their business to the Holder family in 1935 after 46 years trading. The Holders kept the "Paul" name. The Holders had operated their own family bakery in Lille but the Paul family was a better known business. The Holders began serious business expansion in the 1960's. Success was guaranteed when they began to supply bread under the "Moulin Bleu" name to Auchon and Monoprix. This success led to the purchase of an abandoned industrial site in the suburbs of Lille, creating an enormous bakery and progressive expansion outside France and I'm sure this growth will continue. Apart from a change of livery in 1993 to the now-signature black, the layout and visual aesthetic of Paul stores remains unchanged. So while it's now a cash cow business it retains a more than a touch of elegant sophistication with people who primarily love good food rather than those who put profit and cheap food before any other consideration. read more

Your typical bakery with typical pastries. Barely any seats inside but you can find tables outside in the streets. This place is known for its name and that's why it's so busy but there are so many better places that serve the same stuff close by. read more

Great place to grab a sandwich, pastries or a drink. You can take them out or eat them in. It's very reasonable considering the location. Everything is fresh and delicious and we were happy with all our purchases. read more

You're one of the places I go to every time I get a chance. I'm never disappointed by any of the products you put out. You take classic recipes and make them steller. Tried the croque monsieur mushroom, pistachio macaroon and pomme crisp. Also tried some of the atlantique and Mediterranean sandwich. Everything was great although pomme crisp was a little burnt around the edges but I'll put that aside as a one off. Can taste quality ingredients and effort put into what they make. Love ya Paul, to the moon and back. read more

I love this place! It has rescued me so many times being jet lagged or early morning starvations. I believe Paul originally French store, however I am not sure. I do always visit Paul when I am in France, Paris because sandwiches are great and pastries too. I usually grab a sandwich to go and eat it in the park while sketching Parisian architecture, therefore I was super happy when I saw Paul near Comércio Square. We have been walking around for a bit, which means we skipped dinner and grabbed beer instead. When I saw Paul, I knew I was rescued. I grabbed a sandwich and dessert and hangout outside on a warm night with my boyfriend. In Lisbon, Paul carries traditional Portuguese dessert, so my boyfriend was super excited to grab couple of those bad boys! Thats what i love about Europe and traveling. Evening we did was spontaneous and Paul was there late at night experiencing it with us! read more

Espresso and baguette with prosciutto, cheese & Light pesto...I'm still dreaming about my favorite European sandwich, even now that I'm back in USA! Cute tiny little bakery but the line (and there always is one) moves quickly. Know what kind of coffee you want to order because my guy was not patient with me. Fortunately, Rodrigo (a pastry chef) helped me negotiate my choices and pay with euros #firstdayinportugal I loved this place, esp for the sandwiches; perfect beach picnic food we went back a couple of times on our trip read more

"Paul" is an obvious winner, a luxurious demonstration -- and display -- of high-end French pastries, the kind made with hand craftsmanship and attention. It doesn't touch the five-star grandeur of "Pasteis de Belem" several miles away, but you can't spend every day at "Belem," can you? You're on vacation, and you've stumbled into the shopping court of "Praca do Comercio" of Lisbon, so of course you should do "Paul." #goodtimes read more

Amazing pastries! The display case makes you want to buy everything in there! The place is small, so with the line and the few tables inside, it can get crammed. The employees are super polite and attentive, the cashier had a smile on her face every time I went there while I was in Lisbon. Warning: each item is cheaper when you buy it to go, they'll be more expensive if you choose to eat there. read more

This is in the heat of the shopping and touristy area. The food looked relatively freshly prepared which is why we selected the restaurant. We had the caprese sandwich and or was really good. The ingredients were quality and that was reflected in the price. For a sandwich and soft drink it was aground 11€. read more

Though a Portuguese chain of French origin, the desserts, coffees, and sandwiches are all delicious and it's a wonderful place. We love it for a quick bite or to relax over an espresso! The Cascais location, with its pleasant ambiance on the Praça 5 de Outubre and the Praia da Ribeira, is delightful. read more

Love this place! Walked in my first time in Lisbon because the display window looked so good, and I was not disappointed! We spent the rest of the trip sampling pastel de nata from a number of places, none of them compared to PAUL (which is why I can't remember the names of any of them) - I liked that it was not nearly a sweet as a number of other places. Some of the other places it just tastes like biting into sugar. That being said I didn't try the all original in Belem, so I can't comment on that one. The almond croissants and sandwiches are also delicious! There is a PAUL at the airport too but their pastries didn't seem to taste as good as the one in this shop. read more
