PAUL, the globally renowned French bakery and café brand with a legacy of over 137 years, has debuted in Bengaluru with the opening of its first outlet at Orion Gateway Mall, Rajajinagar.
This marks the brand’s eighth store in India and brings an authentic taste of France to the city. Known worldwide for its artisanal breads, viennoiseries, patisserie, and classic French café culture, PAUL introduces Bengaluru to a refined European dining experience.
Located along the serene lakeside promenade, the new PAUL café features an elegant, alfresco-inspired setting that evokes the charm of Parisian street-side cafés. Designed as a destination for every occasion, including leisurely breakfasts, mid-day coffee breaks, weekend brunches, client meetings, and quiet solo indulgences, it brings the timeless European café lifestyle to the heart of Bengaluru.
The Bengaluru menu highlights PAUL’s beloved French classics, including croque monsieur, quiche Lorraine, savoury crêpes, canelés, and its signature collection of artisan breads, flaky viennoiseries, exquisite tarts, and indulgent pastries.
The café also presents a range of European-inspired dishes such as Napoletana pizzas, crisp tartines, handmade pastas, risottos, fresh salads, wholesome bowls, and gourmet sandwiches. Every item is prepared using premium ingredients sourced from trusted partners locally and internationally. PAUL remains committed to clean label standards, ensuring that all offerings are made without palm oil, artificial colours, or additives.
David Yang, Chief Executive Officer, PAUL APAC, said, “Rooted in France and shaped over 137 years, PAUL embodies the French art de vivre through time-honoured craftsmanship and authenticity. Today, with a presence across 57 countries, Bengaluru becomes part of that enduring journey.”
Vaibhav Kaushish, Chief Operating Officer, PAUL India, added, “A significant milestone in PAUL’s India journey. We are thrilled to open our first outlet in Bengaluru at Orion Gateway Mall, a significant milestone in PAUL’s India journey. At PAUL, we remain committed to using only the finest ingredients, free from palm oil, artificial colours, and additives.
