The freshest of pastries & ooh lala- their toasted baguette with maple butter!
Their employees are lovely - friendly & extremely efficient.
Great coffees as well.
This is our go-to place for breakfast in Quebec City!

We tried some of their sandwiches, croissants & drinks. The sandwiches were really comforting for our taste. Also the blueberry & chocolate pastries were so satisfying. We would love to go back to this place anytime for the food.

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.

I had breakfast at Paillard , a few times & the experience was excellent. Their croissants & macarons are a must-try! The food quality remains consistently great no matter how crowded the café gets. The staff were very friendly & helpful in guiding me through the menu, even though I don't speak French. Highly recommended for breakfast & pastries!

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 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.

Chanced upon this cafe in our stroll in the old quarter of Quebec City. So glad we tried their pastries. So satisfying with lots of variety to try from sweet to savoury kind. The coffee is great too.

The croissant breakfast was delicious with crisp, buttery pastries served warm. While the food quality was good, the service experience was less ideal. Staff seemed impatient when explaining the bread selection process to non-French speakers, making ordering slightly stressful.

The positive-excellent pastries.
The negative-bad coffee. I mean, really not good. Weak, watery cappuccino. Best plan is to buy your pastry here, then carry them a couple doors down to Cafe La Maison Smith & get your coffee there! Enjoy the best of both that way. Cheers!
