Paillard fonctionne comme une boulangerie-café à fort volume spécialisée dans les techniques artisanales françaises traditionnelles. Le menu propose une vaste sélection de baguettes croustillantes, de croissants feuilletés et de pâtisseries beurrées cuites sur place tout au long de la journée. Les sandwichs substantiels sont élaborés à partir de pains maison, souvent accompagnés de soupes copieuses et de salades fraîches. L'aménagement intérieur met en avant une esthétique industrielle avec de hauts plafonds, des murs en briques apparentes et de longues tables communes conçues pour l'efficacité. Les clients commandent à un comptoir central où des vitrines présentent un éventail de macarons colorés, de tartes et de desserts au chocolat denses. Cet établissement privilégie la production rapide de produits céréaliers de qualité dans un cadre utilitaire. Il demeure une destination incontournable pour ceux qui recherchent des produits de boulangerie authentiques servis dans un environnement rationalisé.
Paillard est largement reconnu comme une destination prisée dans le Vieux-Québec pour sa grande variété de produits frais, notamment ses croissants réputés, ses sandwichs et ses nombreuses pâtisseries. De nombreux visiteurs apprécient l'ambiance animée, le vaste espace de sièges et la qualité constante de la nourriture, ce qui en fait un arrêt fréquent pour le déjeuner et le dîner. Bien que la boulangerie reçoive des éloges importants pour la saveur de ses produits et son emplacement pratique, les avis sur le café et le service sont partagés. Certains clients soulignent des interactions amicales et efficaces, tandis que d'autres rapportent des défis occasionnels liés aux longues attentes, à l'achalandage et à une attention variable du personnel. Malgré certaines préoccupations concernant les prix et la constance du service, de nombreux clients considèrent l'établissement comme un arrêt incontournable pour quiconque recherche une expérience de boulangerie authentique en ville.
Good pastries, but overpriced. For a self-service bakery where customers order & pick up their own food, prompting for a tip felt unreasonable. The food was good, but not good enough to justify the price.
Best croissant sandwich we have had in ages. Like many things in Quebec City, echoes of Paris abound in this bakery. Great coffee. Friendly staff helped us in English (& French 😊). Quick service. Visit with confidence!!
Stopped in for lunch & was pleasantly surprised. The sandwiches were fresh, flavorful, & made with excellent bread. Everything tasted high quality & the portions were generous.
The pastries & drinks were also great, making it an easy spot for both a quick meal & something sweet afterward. The bakery selection looked amazing, & it's hard to leave without grabbing a treat.
Overall, good food, good value, & a nice atmosphere. Definitely worth a stop if you're walking around Old Quebec & looking for a satisfying lunch.
Paillard is a MUST if you love French pastries or any French food for that matter! The cases are a stream of breads, cookies, croissants, rolls, macaroons, sandwhiches, quiche & 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 & a hazelnut roll. Oh my gosh. The almond filling was amazing. Like a marzipan but lighter & 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 & try anything. No disappointments only regrets that you eat more!
An amazing bakery! One of the nicest customer service that I have experienced in Quebec. They took their time with us, answered all of the questions that we asked & were glad to help us out. It was great to know that the food was just as good as the service! The croissant & the hot chocolate with my favorite. A definite must for anyone visiting Quebec!
