Whilst this place has great reviews and to be honest, the food s tasty I thought they were charging just a little too much for sandwiches etc. My husband and I paid $25 fo 2 paninis and sodas-ridiculous! Try elsewhere

We loved this deli/bakery/ice cream shop. Located on busy shopping street. Food was not too expensive. My kids had a ham and cheese sandwich. We had smoked meat sandwich. Just perfect when you don't want a big meal or to spend an arm and a leg on a meal.

On a rainy afternoon in QC, I was hoping to find a coffee shop to have a warm drink and rest from sightseeing. I happened upon Paillard and wished that I had learned about this place earlier in my stay. There is lots of food, drinks, and ambiance! The accordion player adds the extra spice to the experience. Wonderful place... More

I love bread. I love croissant. Before I visited Quebec, I did some research and I found this café. I was so looking forward to it. Our hotel was nearby so we got there shortly after 8 in the morning. The place was empty, only a few guys sitting with their coffee and croissant. Because I read how crowded the... More

This is more what you would call a Boulangerie-Patisserie in France (Bakery/Pastry Shop) and it is huge. The quality of the food is amazing and the prices very reasonable. They have big tables where people can gather or smaller ones if you prefer a more private setting. There is no service at the tables (you place your order and pick... More

A quintessential French patisserie with pastries, coffee, gelato, and even soup and sandwiches. Enjoyed their croissants at breakfast every morning.
