Paul restaurant in Cairo: A taste of French cuisine

We went for brunch this time at PAUL restaurant in Cairo. They have many branches around the city. We went for the one in Downtown Katamey Mall (New Cairo), so we could also enjoy the open area.

There is no doubt that French cuisine is one of the best ones in the world. Especially when we talk about bakeries. That’s why for me a French breakfast is always a good choice. So check out how was our experience at PAUL restaurant in Cairo.

PAUL French cuisine

PAUL was created in 1889 and everything there has a French signature. From the decoration to the selection of bread, pâtisserie, sandwiches, soups, and salads.

The smell of the bread inside the restaurant is irresistible. That’s why we choose a sandwich for sharing (saving some space for the desert). For the entrance, the place serves some fresh and homemade bread, butter, and olive paste. It was really amazing and we probably enjoyed it more than the dish we choose.

Our sandwich came right after, and we got a little disappointed with the bread they served. It was common white sandwich bread, a little toasted. The bread served as an entrance was ten times better. The filling was made with avocado and chicken and was actually tasty, but not spectacular.

They also served french fries and green salad with the sandwich. After the first meal, we also ordered two coffees and a special french toast. And I believe these were the highest from our visit.

The French Toast came out to be so big that we almost thought we won’t be able to finish it. The bread was baked in pieces with cream and served with honey, red fruits, bananas, and ice cream. It arrived on the table still hot from the oven. The cappuccino was also big and creamy, served with Madeline.

PAUL, like most of the international restaurants in Cairo, is more expensive than a daily restaurant. But the quality of their bakery products is really good. The plates were nicely done and we will deftly go back to try the other items on the menu.
