I was there for breakfast i have never been went to any cafe for breakfast before but my 1st experience was amazing although I go for breakfast cum lunch option but my decision was good ;) turkey sandwich was too good and feels healthy with cappuccino it was great after that we had French toast with strawberry ice cream and berries it was too good highly recommended.
Best pastries in town, in my humble opinion.The food here has always been exceptional. From the breakfast dishes, the parfait (you must try the passion fruit parfait!), to the main courses, everything is really good.But its the pastries that make this place the gem that it is, almost hard to believe that its such a big chain given how consistently good their baked goods are.
Disappointment is an understatement.My first visit after all this pandemic situation to the Paul Bakery & Restaurant at Mercato Mall. I must say, food had changed so much and I wished I could say for the better.We ordered the Beef stroganoff and the mushroom swiss burger. Both were disappointing. It seems they have decided to use the Thousand Island dressing for both items, one as main sauce, the other as condiment.Beef stroganoff was sweet and pink, sugar was added? Mashed potatoes were cold and without any flavor whatsoever.The burger was cooked well done, no other option was available, which was like eating the sole of my shoes, and again, thousand Island dressing was used.Their salad menu had completely changed. Even their most popular Nicoise salad was gone.Overall, it was a very disappointing experience. We will not be visiting Paul till they changed their menu to something less sugar coated.P. S. Staff were, as always, very friendly and helpful. Hence the 2nd star.
We checked the website for any information related the breakfast time, but we didn’t find. So we decided to go based on this, but we were surprised to find out that they do actually have a time for breakfast, after that they don’t serve it. We were very disappointed and we had to order lunch instead, which we didn’t want to eat at that time.I am asking Paul management to updated their website with this important information about the breakfast time so everyone can decide accordingly and not to waste people’s time.
I like food here but seems they are too proud of their services bad customer service we were hungry and entered Paul at 11pm asking for a table they declined saying only take away and behaved abruptly later we changed our mind for take away but still seemed they don’t want to cook now asked us to order at counter and again abrupt behavior,,, thought there are several tables which are occupied I did mention we would order immediately,,, customer is customer looking at the service I had not other choice to walk away from my fav place where I prefer to eat the most !! The team needs lot of training he’ll no I am never coming to Mercato Paul :(
Its can only be fun where u are situated in a suitable place where your sadness can be turn into a loaf of energy. Visit the most amazing restaurant paul bakery in Al wasl road Jumeirah mercato mall Dubai . If you havent been there then you are sleeping on a bicycle.
My fav zatar and cheese croissant I like to go there at morning 🌞🥐 friendly staffreally I’m in love with this classy cafe 🤍
I had a hot chocolate which wasnt sweet, didnt like it. Avocado on toast was great, staff friendly and sharp, nice layout inside
Food was delicious, however service needs improvement.
Fantastic highly recommended silent clean enough space usual Paul coffee and bakery stuff .
There is always something to satisfy your taste buds. Love their coffee
Pauls doesnt change. Service was exceptional but menu changes would be nice. Especially if you visit frequently which I do.Thank you
I always visit for desserts and breads .Had lunch twice in Merkato branch and it was good .
Consistently good food, they maintain their standard being food or service. Staff is well trained and represent 5 star services always.You cant get better choice of breads in any of restaurants in dubai than Paul, which makes your food super good. Especially my favorite almond croissant.Their breakfast is one of the best in town and my favorite too.When it comes to sweet tooth then again they take a lead with awesome variety and taste.You want to feel happy after food visit Paul.Well done
Very good selection of pastries, great coffee and nice staff
Amazing taste with amazing staff I swear if you met sheryle you would definitely love her ♥️
This branch of Paul looks different more authentic and stylish
Food was amazing .. but service needs to be improved
Very nice place. Everything is so delicious.Recommended))
Delicious sweets and good service but unfortunately with someone like me has milk allergy and gluten intolerance, I was only able to have a drink while the rest of my family enjoyed the dessert. I had to bring my own cookies with me. I wish they add to their pastry option a gluten and dairy free selection.
One of my most favorite cafes to be at. Definitely a heaven for all patisserie lovers, you can indulge with a slice of cake or Millefeuille or Eclairs or tarts, the list is endless.Good coffee, lovely atmosphere makes for added happiness.
Please inform waiters to explain to customers about any extra charges they have to pay when adding on or any menu item that is not applicable in discount cards...Saying sorry I forget is not enough...Thanks..
Great place to grab a cup of coffee with a friend you meant to meet since long time - the one in Mercato is not as noisy and crowded as ones in bigger malls. The menu have quite a few light and pocket friendly options if you are on a budget. Don’t forget to compliment your coffee with a side of an almond croissant or an eclair, and if you are visiting in the evening or just not into coffees - pick Paul special blend tea - this will surely leave you delighted.
Nice place to sit and have a relaxed breakfast
I like Paul. The place is neat and clean but more importantly the food is good
Decent fare, cold French service though.
I love Paul since many years we have been regular customers to them, but recently i think their cheif have changed and the menu there are not many nice options to chose like before, and the mushroom soup became so salty and not fresh.
Desserts pastry were good.. rest was ok
The best crep vanila and strowbery
Love tis place. Pricey but in a value way
Nice place good service excellent food
Nice place calm and good service
Alwasy the best breakfast and the best milleflue in town
Hands down the best Almond Croissant in town.
Anything ordered here comes precisely as you request it 🤩 Dear Employees of Paul: Thank you all ❤
I got my bday free gift, thanks to PAUL
Nice cafe. Good coffee. Lovely setting in Mercato Mall. Great service.
The Vegan option with a side chicken request was delicious. The staff so friendly and not fake..thank you for making my lunch pleasant.
Excellent patisserie and breads to choose from
I used to eat here every Friday at lunch time and I used to order the salmon with soup, water, then cake and teaThe quality of the food is good. Some staff need more training on customer service.Bread is better when it served hot.The prices are ok.The furniture needs to be upgraded . It is very old.It is freezing when you sit outside and the reason was the AC from the mall according to the staff and manager.I tried also the breakfast could of times and it was good.
Paul has great coffee and products. Dishes are very good but service needs improvement.
Should try paul vegan burger with caramel coffee
Amazing fast service, fantastic taste!! Taste like heaven! Their mushroom soup in a bread - a must try among other things, of course
A staple in our day to day life ..remains constant. Staff do whatever they can to help. Menu and food are good. Well priced and good portions. As i said a good place to fall back on whenever left wanting for a place to eat.
Lovely food and a beautiful setting
Worst timings ever. Counter closed 20 minutes before the time mentioned. Never ever proper timings.
Love this place the vibes and the food.
Nice setting and friendly staff. Food is not bad and decently priced. Quality of beverages is very average. They serve tea as hot water with a tea bag inside the bag. Not what I would expect. Coffee quality also average. Would give 3 star based on quality, but setting and staff nice, hence the 4 star.
Good service. Not all items available
I enjoy the breakfast, specially the bread
Very delicious breakfast
Always a pleasure at Pauls,
Paul is an elegant resturant. Its food is well prepared. Health and tasty. They have many kinds of salads. Recommended...
This time in went to diff area for Paul which is in. Marcato... Well all the staff very friendly bfast good n nice as always
Good food and great service. Delicious French bakery and good coffee
Nice surroundings, been made to look like a Mediterranean city. The food however not as good as I had in other Pauls cafés in Dubai.
Nice seating, good food and drink. Good Price (medium), very SLOW Service.
Because i have ordered Mohito lemon basil it was full of lemon seeds and the size of the glass was small not enough , they basically put lemon with water nothing special about it
Friendly staff, nice food, who knows paul knows how the food is.Recommended, but its mostly crowd all the time
PAUL has a wide selection of Cakes, Sandwiches, Pastas and Quick Bites. Their bread basket with the tapenade and french butter attracts me always to eat at Paul. The desserts are to die for. The prices are all reasonable compared with many places. The staff at PAUL were very customer friendly and serviced us well. The restaurant/cafe was clean. The traditional onion soup was well prepared and had a good taste. Their chicken cheese avocado salad was well prepared too. The cakes and pastries were delicious and so well presented.
Ha well not too happy with the service and the food. There much better places which offer great service and food. Definitely will not be wasting any more money on Paul.
Excellent food and service
Expensive but good quality of food and fresh made bread. Staff friendly and responsive. Good for working lunch. Can get in and out quickly. Ample underground parking (essential for summers in Dubai).
Good service with the amazing staff.
A great place to grab a bite. Private and quiet with adequate seating and excellent service
I like their barista: always kind and 1 extra madeleine :) for my Americano
Price is high. Food is basic at best, chicken con don bleu was so dry the filling was separating tasted previously frozen. the salad had lettus stems and browning, Rule 1 always remove the stems, never include in the salad. ordered lemonade with mint, drink came room temperature no ice, asked for ice was ignored, no one finished their food.
The menu was changed again & the good stuff was removed. Mash Potato is cooked in morning & served all day
As usual...Best croissants
Great food and great service
Paul at Mercato is always a good place to have a lunch or dinner. Nice food, excellent atmosphere and friendly personnel.
Absolutely in love with the cakes at Pauls!We always always pick up the Chocolate mousse cake for birthdays and it is just amazing!Also, the ambience is good.Have also tried the strawberry Cake but it was too frozen.Please try the Chocolate mousse Cake it is the best out there. :D
An expat staple and a safe pair of hands Paul can found all over Dubai. Good patisserie with restaurant quality soups, salads, mains (but with prices to match). A safe haven (oasis, even), amidst the usual suspect mall offerings.
I had the chicken avocado sandwich, I was very hungry so Im glad that they werent poxy with the chicken. Also the caramel latte was great!
Always amazing food and staff...prices are so reasonable
I was accustomed to an excellent level of service and food quality at Paul, but during my last visit at Mercato, the truffle fries never tasted anything close to truffle taste, even despite asking the waitress to add some more truffle oil to make up for the lack of the truffle taste. The waitress seemed to have been either too busy or just not in a mood for complains, and gave me a constant smile while listening throughout my complain, which was still addressed to her respectfully clearly. We later learned from her that the truffle oil used has less concentration of truffle - this was not mentioned in the menu. The menu at Paul was nonetheless bizarrely changed recently, and it lacked the warmth that one would expect from their French food presentation on the menu. It even felt that some menu items do not exist anymore - I hope I am wrong! Lastly, my gratin was even over-baked, and the pasta was too dry. The gratin too had very less meat, and the taste was totally unsatisfactory. This is not the Paul that I am used to, not to mention that the food service too more than 30 minutes to reach the table. These may be tough economic times, but quality should never be compromised, whether in food or in service, and I personally believe that Paul during my last visit has hit an all time low.
Tea is a little bitter, but staff is friendly and efficient, atmosphere is quiet and relaxed.
I like Paul with ots delicious plates; however i dont like their loyalty program as it has very few offers
Good and nice seating
