Aux Delices de Manon

Avoid avoid avoid… Rude and will try to rip you off by getting you to dine in which causes the price to go up 2x-​3x! They are scam artists, read the other reviews. The food was decent for the prices it showed for takeaway, but just trying to trick you to dine in so they can rip you off.

This place does have some odd rules about prices being different when dining in vs. takeout. However you have to factor in the fact that when you dine in you’re paying for the service fees too. I’ve done take away here numerously since it’s right by my hotel at the Westin. The chicken sandwich baguette was great along with the vanilla macaron. The macaron here was even better than Pierre Herme and Laduree in my opinion. If you do take away it’s not a bad price point I spend about $ 14 euros vs 38 euros for dining in.
In comparison to some of the other places I’ve been going to around Vendome area this was pretty good other than the Michelin recommended places which will really eat through your cash.

The worst. The cashier yelled and cussed at me after I complained that the bill was more money than the sign indicated.

A éviter à tout prix, il s’agit d’une arnaque bien organisée! Les prix triplent en salle et personne né vous informe.
C’est scandaleux que de tels commerces existent encore.

Appalled ! Dishonest Owners
Please beware and avoid this restaurant. Their pastries and cakes looked appealing from the outside but please do not be tricked into dining in. Whatever you see on the tags on display costs at least 3 times more when you dine in. We ordered a toast and the «friendly» waitress asked if we preferred fries or salad to go with it so we chose fries. It turned out we were charged € 5.80 for the fries on top of the € 9.80 for the ham and cheese toast! And the small bottle of still water was € 5.50! 2 mini croissants and 1 Madeleine at € 14.80! Latte at € 8.50! Total bill was € 81 for 4 of us and we were barely full. I should have read reviews before I entered. I thought they did that only to Asians but apparently it happens to everyone who dines in.

A disgrace to Paris! Thought shops like this only exist in 2^nd world countries. Never step in!

Terrible!!! Went here recently and food was not good and overpriced. Even saw a rat run along the wall and pointed it out to the waitress who looked and walked away. I ordered 1 croissant and 1 coffee and the bill came out to € 38. When I asked why the bill was so high, they told me they no longer speak English.

Cheater! Worst store. Never come again. Just bought something and they asked me to sit down but charge me almost 4 times price as take away, and did not tell me before.

Sunday brunch. Great savory pastries. You need to keep on your waitress. Locals seem to like it.

Ten euros for a milkshake?! You’ve got to be kidding.
We also fell trap to this scam-​café (but after reading through the reviews of others, I think we got away lightly!). We realised they were dodgy as soon as they said they didn’t have tap water and then placed 2 bottles of mineral water in front of us when we’d specifically requested 1. Definitely returned the extra bottle (even though he’d opened it presumptuously) and didn’t touch the bread /​croissants placed innocently (NOT) on the table. Still came to a grand total of € 42. Luckily living in London everything feels cheap in euros compared to the pound…

My partner and I decided to dine-​in and have the following items before our 9:00am Tour of the Louvre Museum:
Almond Pastry
Apple Pastry
Coffee with Milk
Espresso– single
2 orange juices
Surprisingly, we were stung $ 40 Euros for their efforts.
I strongly suggest anyone thinking of visiting this place to prepare for sticker shock.
I will never go here again, nor any place bearing the same name.
Beware!!!

I was hungry. I was tired of walking. I needed a boulangerie. This place was in my sights.
I walked in, and everything looked good. The girl behind the counter had patience while I looked at everything and read everything. I ended up ordering tomato and cheese pizza, spinach quiche, a chicken sandwich, a chocolate chip cookie, an apple donut, and a chocolate croissant. I thought it would last a day or two.
The chicken sandwich was good, but the bread was tough. The cheese/​tomato pizza had an interesting balance of flavors– and too much bread. I ended up eating half of it, and trying to dip the rest of the bread in olive oil and vinegar. That didn’t work. The chocolate chip cookie looked good, but tasted awful, very… not worth my calories. The apple donut proved good. The chocolate croissant was good, but if you’ve had other chocolate croissants at other pasteriees around here, it ranked bad (it needed more chocolate).
What topped it off, and brought it down another star, were the reactions of the workers upon payment. I saw the girl tear off of another pastry and eat it while she was helping another customer. Yet, she is going to sell the eaten off pastry to someone else. Another family came in before I left, and she opened up a bag of chocolates to give the little boy one. Then she closed the bag and put it back. Awful!

This place is awful, I would say that’s a tourist trap. We had two desserts as an afternoon tea which were a raspberry macaron with raspberries inside and a cheesecake-​like spongy cake as we did not understand the French menu and merely chose from their looks. Both appeared to be quite nice from their looks and the raspberry one tasted alright, not very good but alright, yet the cheesecake like one tasted awful. It tasted not at all like a cheesecake, nor did it taste like any dessert we have ever tried before. Those desserts were unreasonably overpriced, so were the drinks. The price was unreasonable for such a typically looking and adorned restaurant with average service provided. The drinks were just average ones set at an exceedingly high price. Overall, this restaurant is one that I would on no occasion visit again, let alone recommend to others.

SUPER CHER !
Attrape-​touriste, hors de prix, voleurs…
On peut dire beaucoup de choses sur cette adresse mais je préfère garder mon énergie pour les bonnes :)
A éviter un max, bien qu’on y grignotte pas mal. Mais les prix sont démentiels.

And this people is why I normally check Unilocal before going into a place. I’ve been using Unilocal for way too long and should know better. Shame on me.
Thankfully I didn’t come here to sit down and eat, so I didn’t get the snotty and crappy service that most have mentioned. Instead, I got a bunch of stale bread (thankfully the Viennese chocolate baguette was good, and really the saving grace).
The croissant I got tasted like it had been made the day before as did the regular baguette. /​sigh.
Me ordering the items also seemed to set the girl behind the counter into High Fidelity mode and I just thought to myself: really? I’ve been polite here and have tried to use all 10 of my French words in ordering. So it goes.
This was just a quick stop and I dumped the stale stuff and kept the good. I should know better, but, sometimes that’s just how life goes.

Went here a few times – for to go and I spoke french. Prices seemed high but OK. Then on the last day I sat down with my luggage for a breakfast and the fast talking waiter treated us as suckers. € 73 for breakfast that included toast for € 6.50 that the waiter forced on us AFTER we ordered croissants and acted like it came with the omelette. Then quickly asked if we wanted water and left – returning with expensive bottled water when I would have preferred a carafe d’eau. Water was € 11 for 2. Finally my husband had a € 15 Bloody Mary that was just tomato juice and lemon with suspiciously little to no vodka. Prices charged were those on the menu, which are unnecessarily high, but the waiter was clearly taking us for a ride by tacking on whatever unnecessary crap he could. Not a good way to end an otherwise lovely trip to Paris. Be prepared to answer «no» to many of the staff’s forceful questions.

There is definitely something wrong with the integrity of this restaurant. The prices they set are outrageous and absolutely overprice, make sure you check your bill if they have added some hidden fees. I had a special fruit juice of the day and ended up paying € 25. The only advice I can provide to everyone, DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE. It’s a classic tourist trap. Their food and service don’t even deserve 1 star.
Attention à votre facture ! la salade et le quart vittel que vous n’avez pas commandés et servis vous seront facturés.
Ce restaurant donne une très mauvaise image de marque de PARIS
L’office du tourisme de Paris devrait agir ainsi que la l’office des fraudes.
C’est un scandale qu’un établissement comme celui là soit encore ouvert! La répression des fraudes a déjà été avertie, helas pas encore de décision de fermeture: nourriture exécrable, publicité mensongère, facturation des produits jamais commandés. A fuir ou alors à essayer et denoncer

On s’est arrêté dans ce café pour des chocolats chauds et pâtisseries. Les chocolats étaient correctes par contre les pâtisseries n’étaient pas bonnes du tout. Les prix sont très élevés et la qualité pas au rendez-​vous.

Ahhh soooo annoyed I didn’t have wifi OR service in Paris. Just got jacked here too!!! 50 euros for a small leek quiche, a croque Madame, two TINY perriers, French fries and a stupid salad I never ordered. The one guy who brought us the salad was the shadiest on there. I kept saying no salad, no salad. Then he brings it out. It was so small and when he brought it out I was like ok whatever it’s small, I’ll eat it, it’s just a few euros. Not! 12 euros for an iceberg lettuce bowl with some tomatoes and mozzarella! And our fries were supposed to be 4,80 euros according to the menu came out to like 9,80 — the guy said it was fries for two when I went back!!! Super shady. Shady shady shady. DO NOT EAT HERE. who the hell pays 12.50 usd for a crappy plate of fries? We do when we get hustled. Ugh!!!
Glad to be a part of the scammed club. Ugh.

OMG, my fellow Unilocalers, how I wish I have read your reviews before going to this scam-​bag, cheating and dishonest bakery!!!
I concur with what Heidi wrote: I wish Unilocal allowed us to give negative stars!!!
This place should be banned… at least if you were not the locals!
I came here with my mom, sister and sister-​in-​law, 4 Asian girls with lots of shopping bags = big fat cash cow. And guess what they charged us for a very simple lunch???
142.30 EUROS!!! Bloody h*ll !!!
I felt so angry as I used to live in Paris and I speak French. When we sat down, the waiter was very charming and spoke mixed English/​French at very fast speed. He was so delightful that he asked us if we want to drink the «special fruit juice of the day», he said «it’s very healthy juice, we mixed grapefruit, orange and lemon». We thought it sound nice and we ordered 3. I didn’t ask for price, because I saw on the menu there is a mixed fresh squeeze juice costs around $ 8 euro.
Then we ordered sandwich, omelette, croque madame, vegetable soup and a coffee. The waiter went away, and when he came back with bread and 4 half opened bottle of mineral water, then he asked us if we want to have a petit salad to come with the omelette and croque madame. When French says petit, normally it implies like a small or side salad, so I said yes.
Food tasted ok, average, not bad for a touristy place like St.Honore.
When the bill came, I almost fainted. It was 142.30 Euros, I was like… WHAT!!! We are not even in a restaurant! We went to La Doree which was about 100 meters away from this place for lunch a day before, and it cost us less than that for starter, entrees and deserts!
We were so angry and asked them why the 3 glasses of juice cost 54 euros, their answer is that «it’s cocktail, it’s juice + champagne», what a liar! There was no one drop of alcohol, and most importantly, they didn’t tell us in the very first place!!!
Then they charged us 4 half bottle of water, for 22 euros, when we didn’t order them at all. When we argued, they said «if you didn’t drink them, we wouldn’t have charged you». I should have asked when I saw the water was taken to the table, at the same time, when you ordered water in France, they always ask you if you want sparking or mineral water, so I thought the water were complementary.
And the petit salad… it cost 15 euros!!!
We paid for the bill in the end, but what I wanted to do and should have done was to call the Police. I am totally gutted and wish we can find a way to punish this place for tricking people.

TOURISTS TRAP !!! CROOKS !
Je né comprends pas pourquoi cette soit disant boulangerie est encore ouverte.
La police devrait passer y faire un tour et les contrôleurs vérifier les caisses et les frigos !!!
Une honte, tous des voleurs !
Faites attention a la monnaie qu on vous rend, si on vous la rend, a la note avant de payer.
Même en plaisantant ils veulent vous tirer de l argent !
Si vous payez par carte, vérifiez le prix affiche avant de composer votre code !
Ils s en tirent bien, ils sont les seuls dans ce quartier, et profitent des touristes !
Tout le personnel est névrosé, je suis d accord avec le commentaire précédent: ils parlent tout seul. Le hic c est qu il n y a aucune exception ! D’où viennent ils???
Précisez bien que vous voulez de l eau de carafe sinon on vous dépose une bouteille de vittel ou d evian si vite debouchonnee et claquée sur la table. Attention aux yeux si le verre vous éclate en pleine figure !!!
Au secours !!
Les prix des pâtisseries né sont pas affichés ! Ils sont écrit en tout petit sur une petite feuille format A5, noir sur fond marron collée sur la vitrine, et les prix sont exorbitants et c est franchement pas bon !

DO NOT GO HERE!!!
This is the first time I hoped that Unilocal allowed negative stars because I would assign about 900 of them to this despicable establishment. We had such a wonderful, lovely time in Paris; we made the mistake of ending our trip in this swindling, deceptive shithole.
Our bill initially came out to over 50 euros. They had charged 7.90 euros for one tiny madeleine. Good thing we caught that, but even when we caught the trick, it didn’t help much. He ended up charging us 4.90 euros for every pastry we ordered, no matter how tiny each piece was.
They pressure you to order as many baked goods and drinks as possible and then pressure you to sit in, so that they can charge an arm and a leg and a foot. It baffles me how service so backwards and horrifying could still exist in a city like Paris.
You have been warned. Avoid this place like the bubonic plague.

Just joined the «got scammed» club. This place needs to be stopped from ripping tourists off. Only reason why we tried it was it was listed in Airbnb’s guide of places to eat close by. We order an omelette and a croissant and couple of coffees. They bring 2 croissants, couple of bottles of evian (which we didn’t order), slices of toast which we assumed was part of the omelette. boy, were we wrong. I tell the guy, we didn’t order the water so he says fine. I get suspicious since the couple of local ladies next to us didn’t get bottled water by default.
When the check came, it was $ 30 just for omelette, croissant and coffees. the coffees (regular coffee, not espresso or cappuccino) were a ridiculous 5.90 euro each. The toast we assumed was included was 6.50 euro, for toast for god’s sake! Croissant was cold so gf asked for it to be warmed but the guy takes it away thinking we didn’t want it — which was a blessing since he charged for one. This place just adds items like bottled water (like at least 5 euro each), extra croissant (2.90 euro) when you want just one, toast when you didn’t order it to pad the check to crazy levels. Sure, this is a pricey area but this is moving into scam/​rip off territory. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Spend your money at more honest establishments!
Note: I see locals eating there so I think they pull off this BS on tourists only.

Pains surgelés. C’est un pseudo Paul bis…
On évite et en plus ils se payent l’audace de vendre ca super cher…
On a de tellement meilleures boulangeries que cet endroit est a proscrire.
C’est bien dommage. On né m’y verra plus

La boulangerie /​pâtisserie qui est pourtant dans ma propre rue me laissait plutôt sceptique.
Mais ça c’était avant. Avant d’y entrer une première fois un midi pour m’acheter une pâtisserie, et de repartir parce que le service était horriblement lent et désorganisé au possible. Effectivement à l’entrée on arrive entre deux vitrines qui s’étalent l’une à gauche et l’autre à droite, et chacune est dotée de sa propre caisse mais laquelle sert à quoi, cela reste un mystère.
D’ailleurs le service a l’air exécrable. Je vois la caissière demander avec dédain à un étranger s’il n’a pas deux euros plutôt que son billet.
C’était avant de rentrer avec l’envie d’une viennoiserie et d’en ressortir aussitôt parce que le moindre croissant/​pain au chocolat est à plus de 1 € 20 et que je n’ai qu’un euro dix.
La troisième fois je choisis une heure creuse pour enfin tenter d’acheter des pâtisseries. Ce qui me prendra tout de même ¹⁰⁄₁₅ minutes au bas mot. Je m’en tire pour 11 euros 50 avec deux pâtisseries et une baguette ce qui est proprement délirant.
Bien sur l’établissement né prend la carte qu’à partir de 8 € et d’ailleurs le terminal n’est pas à la caisse mais au comptoir au fond de la boulangerie… Le commerçant au service du client quoi.
Inutile de préciser que les pâtisseries (poème à l’orange et sorte d’entremet aux fruits rouges) sont sèches, sans saveur et grossières dans leur recette.
Après ça il faudra m’expliquer comment un endroit pareil peut être recommandé dans le Figaroscope de la semaine dernière.

Unfortunately, my friends and I found ourselves starving and stuck in the most expensive part of Paris. We thought we had found a nice little bakery to grab a sandwich to eat while we walked, but right as we ordered the lady asked if we wanted to stay and eat. We decided it wouldn’t be a bad idea because it was a bit rainy outside — the first lady brushed us off to a waiter and they were not very welcoming or friendly. Upon being seated a waiter asked if we wanted water, and we asked for tap but he said only still or sparkling and proceeded to bring out glass bottles of still water without us really ordering them.
Long story short, our bill went from 18 euros for 3 sandwiches to 40 euros for 3 sandwiches, 3 small bottles of waters, and sitting down for 5 minutes. When we tried to ask about the extra charge he rolled his eyes, pointed to a small hidden sign (in French) that was supposed to explain the eating in charge, and then continued talking on the phone.
Basically, DO NOT GO HERE. It’s a complete scam, and definitely not worth it.

Boulangères et boulangers fous, ils parlent tous seuls, font des bruits d’animaux et s’amuse a faire des grimaces au clients. oui sérieusement!Au début c’est marrant mais quand tu fréquente l’endroit depuis 10 ans et sa a pas changer depuis tu te demandeil faudrait songer a changer les employer ou bien c’est l’odeur des vienoisseries et autres sucrerie qui les fait devenir fous?! En parlant des viennoiseries et des pains il sont plutôt pas mal, breff comme dans toute les boulangerie correcte, rien de spéciale

saubere baeckerei/​sandwhichladen/​café. wer nach einem fruehstueck oder einer staerkung sucht, findet beides hier. frischgepresste saefte (orange oder grapefruit), guter kaffee und geschaeftstuechtige besitzer die einem immer weiter was anbieten wollen
preise sind der gegend entsprechend hoch angepasst. sandwich, osaft, kaffee: 26euro!

Je le garde en mémoiré !
Pour les fêtes de Noël, un plat+dessert correct en quantité/​qualité servi par un serveur souriant et sympathique, tout cela pour 17 € ds ce quartier de Paris… à l’entrée, gros choix en viennoiserie, chocolats et autres pour les gourmands, plats à emporter etc… À retenir !

Complètement honteux et très onereux pour une boulangerie !
C’est honteux car ce n’est qu’une boulangerie. Alors certes, le service est rapide et plus ou moins accueillant, mais c’est pour que vous vous installiez et que vous consommiez assis avec des couverts et cela a un coût énorme (4 euros etc…+ couverts etc…) ! Je déconseille fortement, à 2 on a payé 54 euros pour 2 sandwiches, une quiche, une bière, 2 petits gâteaux, et 2 bouteilles d’eau… 54 euros ! Vraiment lamentable.

Très mauvais accueil !
Les sandwichs, plats, patisseries et autres sont chers pour la qualité proposée (souvent assez gras) et l’accueil laisse plus qu’à désirer, le personnel n’est pas du tout aimable et né donne franchement pas envie d’y retourner.

Un endroit chic ! un restaurant — boulangerie — patisserie — salon de thé — traiteur. wowça fait beaucoup lol les vitrines sont plus qu’aléchantesles prix sont raisonnables, les serveurs sont courtois et pro (si vous n’avez plus de place pour le dessert. ils vont en trouver pour vous! ah ah) J’ai essayé une salade foie gras et saumon (12EUR environ)… une merveille ! Donc un endroit sympa avec un choix irréprochableà voir !

Au délice de…
Le seul endroit au monde où quand vous commandez un hamburger, on vous sert un «steak frite «, en vous jurant que dans les brasseries parisiennes on les sert ainsi… cf. définition du Robert: Hamburger: «Bifteck haché servi dans un pain «. Conclusion: Boui-​boui à éviter. Un conseil, malgré tout, si vous y aller, prenez une bouteille d’eau car le soir on né vous sert même pas de carafe.
