Read moreAlways love Paul for breakfast or brunch and happy to expand my coffee horizons with the magnifique Café Medici (espresso, chocolate, and milk) instead of sticking to my standard latte. One recommendation to the chefs though is to serve side salads with the dressing on the side: as an expat living in India, salad always feels like a dance with danger (and interesting tummy bugs) and so the inclination is to err on the side of caution and avoid them, especially when it looks as if the greens may be of questionable freshness. When a Paul main comes out, with the greens already tossed in their tasty dressing, the edges of the lettuce leaves can look brown or wilted (due to the balsamic/mustard dressing they use), and while I know that Paul has safely sourced and prepared these lovely greens, and while I don't want want them to go to waste, there remains a hint of doubt due to the appearance and so I wish the dressing came on the side so (a) I could choose to use as little or as much as I like (we all have our preferences;) and (b) I could see EXACTLY how fresh and perfect the greens are before being doused in dressing deliciousness (I'm a fan of the Dijon dressing as well, but have friends who are less partial to it, which is another reason to give customers the option to enjoy the side greens even when they don't like the dressing itself). Waiters have told me twice now "well you can ASK for it on the side and we will accomodate" but the point is, today I was ordering an omelette, and so we don't think (in the case of NON-salad mains) to ask for dressing on the side in the same way we would if we were ordering a Chef's or Cobb salad as our meal. Lastly, considering the terrible air quality in Gurgaon, it hurts my heart each time I check and find the plants in Paul remain plastic - it cheapens the ambiance when such air purifying varieties as moneyplant, aloe, snakeplant and more are essentially indestructable (if I can keep them consistently alive, BELIEVE that they are hardy beasts hahaha) and have the added benefit of improving the air quality around them (while not a solution, any little but helps and is appreciated in these airpocalyptic conditions). That and improving the flow of bread selection and payment (I don't know what the different bread names are, I want to point and select and THEN walk around to the till) would have me leaning again toward a 5 star rating for the experience overall (where of course the magnificent bread...
Read morePaul, the famous French Cafe has been in India for a couple of years now and has established itself as one of the best places to eat. Located in Ambience Mall, Gurugram, we truly had a great experience here. We waited a while to get a seat, the service was top notch, and the food was excellent. We had the following while we were at Paul.
The coffee combo has a cup of coffee served with a butter croissant that is flaky, and beautifully done. You can make out by the golden glaze that this is bound to be tasty and delecious.
The Iced Mocha is one of the specialities that is served at Paul. This drink has espresso with chocolate and cold milk. A perfect drink to wake you up.
Pain au chocolat is imported from their main bakery and we were expecting a lot but we found the amount of chocolate to be very less inside.
Aglio olio e peperoncino is spaghetti based pasta that is tossed in garlic, olive oil, and red chilli peppers. A classical dish that was simple and rich in taste.
Fettuccine with creamy pesto sauce is cooked in creamy basil pesto sauce balsamic drizzled on top. A must have for all the pesto lovers, such a brilliant sauce mixed with well cooked pasta is all one could crave for.
Triple Decker Club Sandwich has nice chunks of chicken, with mustard, mayo, bacon, egg, grilled vegetable, and the special Paul’s multigrain pain de mie. If you are looking for a good tasty sandwich that would fill you up, then this is meant to be gobbled up.
The Tiramisu served here contains alcohol, the dessert was well presented and was good in terms of the consistency and the taste.
Creme Brulee was absolutely fantastic, and has to be the highlight of our time at Paul. We highly recommend you to try this out when you are dining at Paul.
Finally, the chocolate eclair was a decent dessert, we were expecting the chocolate to be more gooey but nonetheless a decent affair.
Pauls is a roller coaster ride and a perfect place to experience the French cuisine in Gurugram. You can find them at G-1 , Ground Floor ,Ambience Mall, Sector 24, Gurugram,...
