Carton Paris — Restaurant in Paris

Do you believe in awards 🎖️? You know, when you go to a shop or a restaurant and you see a sign that says "The best something in 2024"...? I don't, cause I believe the only shops that can win an award are the ones who... participate in these contests. 😅 Yet, an award usually means quality above average. 😇 One morning in Paris 🇫🇷, we were supposed to go to a specific place to have breakfast before starting our activities but I had to lose 30 minutes (literal) fighting with the ticket machines at the train 🚆 station and we didn't have enough time left to reach that place. I was so pissed. 😡 Fortunately, when we got off the train, I spotted a bakery with lots of awards: best croissant in Paris 🗼 in 2022 and 2024 amongst others. 🥳 So we stopped there and I tried the croissant 🥐 and the pain au chocolat. I don't know if these are the best ones in Paris but they were really good (even though they didn't look so great) and not too expensive for an elite croissant nowadays in Paris (around €1.5). 👏 I had to try the classics, but the shop offers lots of other tempting options. My son did try a cookie croissant (you have to be a kid to order something like this) and that I did not like at all. 🙁 The place offers sitting inside and outside, which is great, but with no AC, which was unfortunate as the weather was so hot! 🥵 The clerks were very nice and attentive. 🙏 A good experience overall. . . .

If you’re looking for a great French bakery in Paris, Carton Paris is a must-visit. Nestled in the heart of the city, this charming boulangerie exudes everything you’d expect from a Parisian bakery: authenticity, warmth, and, most importantly, exceptional pastries.

Their croissants, in particular, are a testament to the art of French baking. Perfectly golden with an irresistible flaky crust, they shatter delicately with each bite, giving way to a buttery, airy interior. The balance of texture and flavor is nothing short of perfection, making it clear that Carton Paris upholds the highest standards in traditional baking techniques.

Unlike many croissants that can feel overly greasy or dense, these are light and layered with an addictive aroma that fills the entire shop. It’s no exaggeration to say they might spoil you for croissants elsewhere.

The service here is efficient, even during the busier hours when locals and tourists alike flock in for their daily dose of baked delights. The other pastries and baguettes are equally noteworthy, but the croissants are the true star of the show.

Whether you’re a Parisian or just passing through, Carton Paris is a delightful reminder of why France is world-renowned for its baked goods. A visit here is an experience in itself and one you’ll remember every time you...

We were here last year and we gave them 5 stars. Last year we had vienosseries and several different cakes, all was delicious. Unfortunately this time we were disappointed. Today we came early (around 8) and beside the fact that they had no cakes at all (maybe it was too early) all vienosseries that are were cold... nothing was really fresh. We had a variety of vienosseries (croissants, pain au chocolat, pain aux raisins...) and none of them was fresh enough, considering the fact how early we came and that it's all prepared sur place. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't stale. But it tasted like it was sitting there hours ago, despite the fact that boulangerie was crowded with clients. Shame, they do have nice products but when it sits like this for hours, it becomes mediocre. On top of all, the lady working there was not willing to give us the croissants that came out and were sitting on the cooling racks, I was hoping they would be fresh and warm.. All in all, today's 3 stars are not for the quality of products, but for the...
