Paul - South Kensington

At the front of this establishment lies a rather exceptional bakery and patisserie, whose extravagant window displays attract a hungry crowd of passers by. If you really like what you see you can buy a little something to take out or venture through to the rear of the shop where you'll find an elegant Parisian style tea salon, the perfect place to enjoy a leisurely lunch or afternoon tea. Paul is just the sort of reasonably priced but high quality snack place that attracts those who are looking for a break from shopping or simply enjoy the luxury of a tasty confection with coffee.

On the menu you'll find classic bites such as omelette, quiches and generously portioned salads. The idea is not to over indulge with your main course though, but to save space for a dessert such as rich chocolate cake, or strawberry tart. There is an enormous range of breads and pastries accompanied by that wonderful aroma of freshly baked goods that cannot fail to stimulate the feeblest of appetites.
