Brunch at Paul's
Even before I landed in MNL for the holidays, I already told my sister that she must take me to Paul's during my visit since it was one place I have been constantly seeing people post on instagram lol so I figured it was the place to be.
Yup.. while some search high and low for the "it" club, I search for the latest dessert place or bakery lol.
A famous bakery originating from the North of France, Paul serves your traditional French pastries and breads such as baguettes, croissants, and of course, the macaron.
Since we were here for brunch, we decided to skip the bakery goods first and indulge with their savory dine-in food.
Croque Saumon Poireaux
Roaster Salmon, leeks, cream, and Emmental Cheese sandwiched in Paul's Famous Pain De Mie
Really good flavors from the roasted salmon and the rich cream and Emmental combination. This was also the best way to experience Paul's Pain De Mie which was just amazingly soft and almost creamy in texture.
Croque Monsieur
A classic French Ham and Cheese sandwich that Paul executed beautifully.
Piece de Beouf
Beef Striploin served salad, roasted potatoes and shallots.
Amazing. Just Amazing. Soft and tender striploin served with a magnificent, flavorful sauce. Really really liked this dish
Macaron Smoothie
Milk smoothie filled with pulverized Macaron of your choice.
I opted to go with chocolate and I really enjoyed it. My sister however found it a bit too milky and lacking in the chocolate flavor.
Moelleux Chocolat
Another traditional French Chocolate Cake which Paul execute beautifully. Chocolately and rustic, it is something you imagine in a French cottage and was made by your French grandmother lol.
Tartlette Chocolat
I was a bit hesitant to order this because it looks simple and boring but as it turns out, this tartlette would become my favorite tart of all time lol
A crisp, buttery crust filled with rich, luscious dark chocolate.
Seems so simple but it was just sooo good that I cant even explain way. Just try it and I'm sure you would love it.
Checked of another item on the list.. Very happy to have tried Paul's. Now I know what the fuss is about.
