PAUL Athens — Restaurant in Athens

A delightful French bakery experience — with heart!

I had a wonderful experience at this French bakery. The food was excellent — I ordered the eggs Benedict, and they were perfectly done: rich hollandaise, runny yolks, and beautifully plated. You can really taste the quality in every bite.

The coffee was strong and flavorful — exactly what I needed to start the day right.

But what made this visit truly memorable was the service. Theodore was exceptional. He went above and beyond for every single customer, moving through the space like it was his own bakery — always one step ahead, anticipating needs, checking in with everyone, making sure no one was left waiting or wondering. He created a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made the place feel special.

It’s rare to find that kind of genuine care and attention. I’ll definitely be returning — not just for the great food and coffee, but for the incredible service that made the whole experience stand...

I know PAUL (Boulangerie) very well for years from France, Belgium and even Egypt.

I can definitely confirm that my taste buds have saved PAUL positively. Why? No matter in which country you visit a PAUL branch the quality, appearance, service and the taste is 100% identical. Respect!

At PAUL you can always consume deliciously topped baguette sandwiches, crispy and airy baked croissants and other French pastry, first class cakes or even from PAUL kitchen very tasty soups, french fries or slightly herb salmon bites.

Or if you really need a coffee break to fill up yourself with energy to discover Athens you are also in good hands at PAUL! Their rich and dense aromatic, full, slightly sweet and fragrant coffee delivers a very good long-lasting aftertaste without any acidity. You will love it!

At Paul Athens my choice was a sesame baguette salmon sandwich which was 100% identical to Paul’s signature. Ευχαριστώ!

Nice to meet you PAUL...

They perform the slightest form of discrimination towards colour at this outlet. The person manning the cashier counter was not interested in talking to us, outright refusing to translate for us and taking our order. Ended up taking at-least 8 different orders before us and making us sit and take our order at the table essentially by force. I ended up missing the cab I booked because of the gross mismanagement and blatant ignorant behaviour from the staff regarding the speed of my order and the refusal to talk to me.

This global chain is unfortunately getting ruined by the way the staff is handling this outlet. Not expected, will not come back here...
