I honestly think this place is a bit overrated. At the time of writing, it had over 5,000 reviews with an average rating of 4.3 stars, so I was expecting a much better experience.

We tried the Chipotle chicken sandwich, olive bread, éclair, & croissant. Unfortunately, the sandwich & olive bread didn't taste fresh, & the chocolate filling in the éclair wasn't particularly enjoyable. The croissant, however, was delicious.

Great bread & pastries. Even has sandwiches available for a quick bite. A must visit in the old city.

This morning, I only bought two breads to take out, but I was charged almost $30. I'm pretty sure the cashier charged me twice. This is unacceptable. I can't believe this happened. I would like a refund.

Great sandwiches with quality bread, but the Kinder latte was too sweet & did not mix well with the espresso. Still a great visit overall & I regret not trying the pastries

Our hotel concierge recommended Paillard to us.
We loved it & ended up going a few times during our visit. We tried their chocolate Suisse, chocolate braid, praline rolls, focaccia bread, macarons, butter croissant, chocolate croissant & coffee.
Everything except the coffee was yummy. I'd hop over to Smith Mason down the lane for coffee instead. But other than that, we loved everything. All their baked goods were freshly made.

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!

We went late afternoon & got the very last croissant! It was so buttery & flaky & I wish there was a second or 3rd piece for me! 😁 We also had the olive bread, & it was soft & chewy. We enjoyed every bite of it!

We went to Paillard - Rue Saint Jean for teatime. This French- style artisan bakery & pastry shop is popularly known for their handcrafted bread & pastries. They have a selection of freshly baked pastries like Croissants, Croc Framboise, Chocolate Twist, Muffins, Galette Granola, Lemon Cake, Brioche, Cinnamon Rolls, Cranberry Loaves, Olive Batard, Baguette, Lemon Tartlets, Macaroons (various flavours), Quiche, Sandwiches, Sweet Desserts, Juices & Hot Beverages just to name a few. We ordered some pastries & they tasted buttery, flaky & full of deliciousness. We love the ambience & the whimsical bunnies decorations for Easter added a pleasant atmosphere. This Paillard bakery is highly rated by visitors for its high quality products & friendly service.
