Decent lunch overall. Croque Monsieur was tasty. Salad had a nice light dressing. The burger was mixed: patty well done instead of the medium we ordered so was a bit dry but the bun was fantastic. Most disappointing was the pretzel we bought: very dry and did not taste fresh. NY cheesecake was great. Baklava cheesecake very difficult to eat but visually gorgeous.

Id definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and family with an appetite for European food. The unique decor gives the place a friendly, French ambience. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The food was served simply, but appetisingly and creatively. I loved the beautifully, neat cursive in which the menu was written on a large blackboard.The only unfortunate experience was the waiter forgot to bring cold milk for my husbands coffee on both occasions. However, he was quick to bring it when reminded to do so. The service was good considering the restaurant was busy due to it being Mothers Day.

I bought a Carrot and Walnut cake last week. I have to say IT IS THE BEST CAKE I HAVE EATEN!! Moist, full of flavour, loads of ingredients, tasty cream cheese icing. We all savoured every moment eating this cake!!! Will certainly order again!! Well done, I thought there were no more bakeries around making delicious cakes!!

Went for lunch yesterday as the place is highly recommended. Arrived at 1215. We sat down, were brought menus, waited to order. As we were placing our order around 1225 another waiter informed the waitress and us that they were closing at 1 instead of 2. It would have been better to let us know before we sat down . I can’t comment on the food as I have never eaten there.

This really is a Parisian patisserie.The pastries are really good, and the croissants as good as anything you will get in Paris.The sit-down menu is fairly limited, but good. If youre looking for a French restaurant you might well look elsewhere .Parking isnt plentiful, but adequate.Prices are a bit on the high side, but not silly.Get there earlyish because todays stock is sold today, and when its finished...

Novel unique little place. The jazz music, the pastries, friendly waiters, the Belgian beers are all just so different. Ive yet to try the normal food though

One of the nice croissants and baguettes in Joburg. But one problem is the waiters. Eish..They could do better service. And dont lie, boys.

1 Star is too high of rating for this place. They messed up my order completely and the manager was unwilling to help. He has a very bad attitude and I would never support this place again as they have no integrity or business sense.

Great food, would have been greatly have a bit of French background music. Staff were helpful. We arrived around lunch time and most of the food had been sold or was not on offer. Next time arrive earlier. I would go back. Lekker coffee and amazing mango smoothie.

Best pastries in Johannesburg! It’s worth the drive from wherever you are in town. Everything is made fresh on-site. It’s a nice little escape from the hectic pace of JohannesburgPro tip: baked goods go 1/2 price after 1630!

Patisserie de Paris is very European in its feeling. Delicious pastry coupled with on point coffee. The service is just ok, friendly enough but expect to wonder at some point about the service and how it should be better. However, this too is very European. I haven’t found better pain au chocolat and sitting out there in the mornings is utterly charming.

Quaint little bakery, its quite cramped inside, making browsing their goods a bit difficult. Although everything is clean, they need some kind of covering to keep bees off of their baked goods, other than that it is really good.

The food is lovely. And so many interesting things to chose from! But you know that feeling when you wanted to treat yourself, and then when you are there you wish youd rather just stayed home? The attraction of the menu and its delights failed to extend to the venue and the atmosphere. Its a pity because its a beautiful idea that fail to deliver on its promises. (Please paint the walls!)

Had to telephone for service from the outside seating area. Totally overpriced at R40 for a small meatpie. No menus you have to get up and walk to a menu on the shopfront. Not greeted by waiter. No service at all. Waited 25 minutes and still my burger hadnt arrived. This place is a joke.

This place has a great ambiance and really is a sweet little place to go grab a delicious piece of cake and a coffee or even if youre in the mood for a savoury dish, those are great too! The servers are always smiling and the small things that have been done to make this place welcoming and warm are just great! Definitely would recommend.

Review №42

My friend and I had a very busy day planned and thought it very convenient that the place opens at 6:30. We got there met with a sign saying they opened at 7:00, since we would still make our 8:00 appointment this wouldve been fine. Once we are finally seated we were told that the kitchen only opens at 8:00 throwing a massive spanner in the works.It would be really helpful if this information was on the website.

Lovely French themed bakery and deli with elegant street side café vibe. Big thumbs up for good service, early opening hours & being pet friendly. Our breakfast meal was average and a small portion, but we will be back for the delicious breads and delicatessen. Dont miss the deli with rare and imported cheeses.

Review №45

The pastries and cakes here are delicious and they serve a fantastic strong cappuccino! The only real let down came with the service...which left a bad taste in my mouth after all the yumminess. Perhaps if you are seated outside you get more attention but it truly was a struggle to get our waitresses attention and eventually we just used which ever waiter we saw in desperation to get our orders placed. Maybe they were short staffed , so Ill give it another go and see if they can put a sweeter taste to my first impression!

Great little breakfast place with a delicious menu and good coffee. Service was a little on the slow side but hey its Saturday morning and I got no plans.I had the croc monsieur with Emmental cheese, it was amazing.Theres a sweet little deli and bakery so you can stock up on cheese, charcuterie, bread and amazing pastries. The sourdough bread sells out early so try to get there before 10:30 if you want to take a loaf home.Also, once the place started emptying out bird come drink from the fountain 😁

Review №59

Quaint little establishment with a great typical bakery menu comprising quiches, baguettes, croissants, pies and of course, pastries and cakes. Unfortunately for me as a lacto- vegetarian, my options were extremely limited so I ended up having an over-priced piece of toasted sourdough with smashed avocado, dukkah, and feta with cherry tomatoes (had to leave the poached egg off) for R95. Not their fault as Im not their target market but my companion swore by their baked goods hence the 3 stars and not 2.

Review №60

Im giving the establishment only 3 stars for the following reasons:1) the sautéed potatoes and cherry tomatoes was cold when it arrived. Almost as if was prepared this morning and then slap on plate. The tomatoes didnt have the texture or consistentcy of freshly prepared fried tomatoes. And it lack taste and aroma. The same goes for the potatoes as it was already stale and bit dry.2) I had the Lyon breakfast, the mushroom sauce was cold as well but it had a very nice flavour and texture to it. Must be amazing if hot and freshly prepared.3) Sourdough bread....... must be lightly toasted to be crispy and not rock hard.4) My poached eggs was perfectly done medium. Thank you5) your hot chocolate is to die for. Well done.Something to remember. Its middle of winter, warm the plate to touch as this will keep the food warm and flavorful longer.People love this place as Ive noticed a few regulars. Staff know them which means people go back.This is my first time and will try them again

I have read such beautiful reviews about the place. Also was referred by my sister as she goes there every Sunday with her hubby. Bad service will ruin a place! The guy with a green nano mask was so nonchalant and rolling his eyes. I asked about the Mississippi mud cake and it took him a good 20 secs to even look at me to respond. He then proceeded to walk away from me asking another gentleman to help me. Im so disappointed as this was a my time there and was excited. His energy towards me was at negative 1 while I was beaming at a solid 10. This encounter ruined the tone for my day. So sad. The other guy that came was very sweet. But that one who was taking orders over the gate in a green mask was very bad. 😔

Service appalling. They said they were short-staffed today. I didnt even get what I ordered in more than an hour and it was less than half full. The ambiance seems really nice and the menu looks good and well priced... just a pity i didnt even get to try it because the service was disastrously slow.

An important stop when visiting Johannesburg. These guys make great coffee! Not to mention their fabulous breakfasts and to die for pastries. Unhurried, this is a place to linger over a lazy breakfast or lunch. A welcome escape from the frenetic pace of the surrounding city. Welcoming and friendly service will have your order on your table promptly. All in all a very pleasant experience.
