Paul Bakery & Restaurant Ren'ai

Happy Sunday ??? Good for family The deluxe set Comfortable environment ! The Service ????? and meals are delicious

I came only for dessert today. I was remind that to eat in you have minimum order 180nt per person. That was really high. But the quality of the cake is good. I got the long chocolate cream puff and strawberry cake. That puff was ok. Chocolate was in good quality but the puff is hard to cut because its separate from top and bottom and the cream easily came out. The stroberry cake was amazing. On top of it is croissant crusts with surady syrup and powder suger. The indside is cream and strawberry. The taste was amazing but the price is in good position. I got the ciabatta bread to get minimum order per person. They able to heat it for a while before it serve. The quality is good, crispy skin and soft in the inside. The ratios of the olive and dry tomatoes inside the ciabatta is kinna unfair, but its ok.

Bread choices are plentiful. Nice ambience.

This review is about their to-go service. I ordered a half Tuna sandwich to go this morning. They used to have them ready at the counter but now they make them to order so you have to wait 5-10 minutes. When I finally got my sandwich, it was slightly laughable. What I got definitely didn’t look like the fullness of the displayed sandwich and when you open it up, there was barely two small spoonfuls of tuna salad, along the edge for the appearance of tuna. Taste was good, if only they didn’t skimp out. They should change the display sandwich if they aren’t going to give you what they are advertising (and used to give you). Reminded me why it’s been so long since my last visit.

The strawberry Mille is fantastic, truffle risotto is pretty good. Unfortunately, many things go downhill from there. The combo set (+260 NTD) comes with a bland soup and a dessert which you can’t choose. The dessert-of-the-day was a lemon tart that was overly sour even after a shot of their espresso.

A bakery chain that provides a brasserie-like experience but slightly struggles with the service and does not have restrooms. We visited this branch of Paul for breakfast - the atmosphere of this bakery is great and rather compares to a rustic brasserie and the food choices are very positive. At entering the café, we were told that we can only stay 90min even though the cafe was almost empty. However, it took over 60min for the staff to serve us the breakfast we ordered. The food overall was very good and the cafe made a clean appearance. Most breakfast deals include coffee refills which is really great. The key issue we observed was the slow and unorganised service. The scrambled eggs we ordered were cold until the bread/ baguettes arrived 25min later. And then being told to leave after 90min seemed inappropriate to us. Further, another issue we observed is that the cafe does not offer restrooms - you need to leave the cafe and enter the nearby office block - which could be seen as a red flag for some. In summary, a lovely cafe in great location, serving good quality french inspired food with service that requires improvements.

We went in the afternoon, a couple of items on the menu was not available, so we ordered a panini and an afternoon dessert set. Panini taste was OK, the desserts did stand out more. Portion size was decent for the pricing and service was pretty good.

Went there to celebrate birthday with a friend. They have a special offer for whoever having birthday in 3 days, for example, if your birthday is 10th July, you could have a dessert (price below NT$245) for free in the period of 7th July to 13th July. As for us, we ordered the signature strawberry millefeuille, and it's delicious. Don't miss the bread too. Yet, they don't have washroom in the restaurant, you'd have to use the one of the building beside, which is a bit inconvenient.
