Paul - Ploieşti

Situated in Ploiesti Shopping City mall, it's the best place to eat something sweet! Fabulous products, nice staff!

If you're driving from Bucharest to Brasov, the first 50 kilometres are quite devoid of any interesting or attractive places for a snack or a coffee. So on a Sunday morning, after half an hour on the highway, already past Ploiesti, we were encouraged to see the signs for Ploiesti Shopping City, which is a giant shopping complex out in the farmlands. We thought we would at least find a food court, maybe even a McCafe. So we were pleasantly surprised to find that they have a branch of Paul - a chain that we know from other cities.We both had omelettes - mine with ham and my wife's with cheese - which were excellent, accompanied by crinkly lettuce and fresh brown rolls. My wife had an espresso and croissant and I took a mini three-chocolate cake and a Cappy apple juice. The bill, as I recollect, was under RON 40. Service was excellent. They accept credit cards. And since it's an open space in a shopping mall, the area was non-smoking. (Generally speaking, Romanian shopping malls allow smoking only in enclosed restaurants.)A good experience, and a welcome change from the scruffy bars that you usually find on the national highways.
