Paul

This was one of my favorite patisseries in Praha. Loved that they took the euro here because for some reason we were having issues using them around the area as they preferred us to use the czech crowns. Our croissants were on point and coffee was delish! Don’t go to the Starbucks chain for your coffee when in town… I’d rather go here, to Paul’s!

The Earl Grey tea and the Royal meal option is amazing. Also the Palmier, to die for! I want to go back tomorrow!

Not great at all. Mediocre coffee and desserts with a quality comparable to McCafe. Overpriced. Never tried the sandwiches and soups though.

There’s only been a few times in my life that I’ve been in love with a chain restaurant, and this is one of those times. I first discovered Paul in Prague, and was so excited when I found it yet again in Paris and Berlin.
If you go to Paul, you MUST try the pesto, tomato, & mozzarella sandwich on olive bread. If there was ever a perfect sandwich in this world, this would be it. It tastes like heaven.

I would not ordinarily write a review for the chain patisserie. But this one was different than the numerous ones I’ve been to in France, UK and US. This is in Prague, and it takes credit card, American credit card to boot, and the sandwiches were exceptional. I’m a picky Francophile, having a residence in Burgundy and San Francisco bay area made me a bit snobby when it comes to good baked goods. Tartin on Valencia in the Mission is where every Francophile goes to get baked goods in San Francisco, and it’s at best, OK, but this Paul, while located Prague, is quite exceptionally good and better than Tartin in my opinion.
Not just for the food but also for the price, it seems to be a lot less expensive than UK and US, and it’s just as good. I don’t know how they source their ingredients, but it was fresh, even the bread was tasty. I had ordered several dinner meals from here because I had conference calls to make to the U.S. while I was allegedly on holiday in Prague, so I’ve done take out here for my family while grabbing some to go for me too. The kids loved the giant macaroons, and they also loved their sorbets. it was a win win for American tourists who are traveling with two young children. It hit the spot, it was convenient and it was efficient. Did I mention that they took American credit cards? As in no chips or pin, just plain, good and old American credit cards. Things you take for granted at home become so precious when traveling in Eastern Europe. I loved this Paul, so did my children. While my six year old son raved about the Torture Museum at the entrance of Charles Bridge, my nine year old daughter loved Paul. It’s THE Paul. Better than D.C. Better than New York City. Better than London. Better than Paris. So the best Paul’s of all Paul’s? Found, not in France, but in Czech Republic, a block away from our flat.
