Paillard

While it might seem no more than a spruced up dining hall, Paillard is one of the most popular patisseries in all of Québec City, and it is the perfect spot for a quick lunch while roaming the Upper Town. Lunchtime offerings include soups, salads and sandwiches, but the best treats are the freshly baked breads. After picking up an olive and feta–stuffed loaf, snag some chocolates from the small grocery section for a meal in Esplanade Park.
