Paul Fleet Street

PAUL is a family-owned chain of French bakery delicatessen stores. The prices are very reasonable (for London) and the baked goods and sandwiches are outstanding. All breads and pastries are baked in house daily. Pret A Manger is okay, but go to PAUL if y ou possibly can.

My small slab of nutty milk chocolate was that scabby shade of white that happens to poorly stored chocolate. The gentleman behind the counter wearing the term 'qualite ' on his apron tried to tell me that this was perfectly fine and was defensive, in denial and argumentative until rescued by his co-worker. Poor experience in a normally pleasant venue.

A french touch in the middle of the Strand. Excellent breakfast and lunch options. I also love the options for dessert

I love this chain. Simple and good. There is not a bad sandwich or pastry. My only complaint is that they often run out of soup and do not have it at all in the summer.

Great place to grab a yummy sandwich or cake. Some counter seating but mainly take out. Very friendly staff who get through the que quickly with a smile. What little wait you might experience is well worth it the food is fresh and well presented. The reasonable pricing is improved upon with their loyalty scheme. Well worth a try
