Personality

Family Friendly Tourist Friendly Good for Groups Excellent Service

Part of the French Paul family of boulangeries dating back to 1889, this Mall of Cyprus branch in Strovolos brings the French 'art de vivre' to Nicosia. Open every day from 9am to 10pm, it works equally well for breakfast, a coffee stop, lunch or a full dinner. Regulars single out the bread and baguettes, often described as among the most authentic French-style in Nicosia, alongside excellent viennoiseries and pastries.

The kitchen serves a broad menu spanning French classics and international dishes, including French onion soup, coq au vin, quinoa salad with salmon, pork tomahawk and generous shareable salads. Desserts such as the warm apple crumble with vanilla ice cream are a highlight. Despite its shopping-centre setting, the ambiance and music create the feel of a proper sit-down restaurant.

An evening discount on bread and pastries after 7pm helps cut food waste and rewards late shoppers. Takeaway is available.
