This is best bakery I have ever eaten at. I have never been to France or Italy, but as far as it goes in North America you will not find a better croissant. I don't even care for croissant, & I regularly think if this croissant & will drive 2 hours to eat it with ham & cheese. 10/10 would recommend

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.

L'attente était longue malgré le peu de clientèle.
La pince pour prendre ma baguette a laissé de la confiture sur ma dite baguette.
J'ai commandé une salade César au poulet & arrivée à l'hôtel je me rends compte qu'il n'y a pas de poulet ....... & pourtant sur ma facture c'est vraiment écrit'poulet'

Malgré tout, l'endroit est accueillant & les croissants sont délicieux !!!

The lower old town location was very close to our Airbnb & they became our breakfast & dessert standard! Pastries were delicious & fresh. Staff was helpful. Highly recommend the ham, cheese & egg croissant! Sweet pastries, especially with fresh berries were also a favorite for us. Came back from Ile d'Orleans one day with fresh cheese & decided to just make cheese, baguettes & wine our dinner, so we headed straight to Paillard, but they were closed so got our baguettes next door at the cafe just below Paillard (in case you need a back up!).

Nice little morning stop with the best breakfast sandwich on a croissant I have ever had.

Stumbled upon Paillard last weekend while hunting for good light in the old quarter, & I ended up staying way longer than planned. The morning sun through their front windows was honestly perfect for some interior shots, but I put the camera down long enough to enjoy a really solid almond croissant that was still warm from the oven. The space has this relaxed but lively energy that's hard to fake, & the staff were friendly without being over the top about it. If you're in Quebec City on a Sunday morning, this is exactly the kind of place you want to be sitting with a coffee.

Lots of choice. We had a croissant & cappuccino. It's just average. Nothing special.

Lots of other spots in town for fresh pastry. Service was nice but set up of having to interact over a glass case thats 6ft tall with more jam displayed on top is weird & uncomfortable. The croissant sandwiches were decent,our pastry was stale.
