Paris Bakery is # 1 go to breakfast & more on many patrons list. I am a 1st timer arriving at 7am and yes they are open with 2 tables already occupied. Nice ambience w/ well cared for flowers in front , good signage , adequate on street parking and a tropical feel in a most spacious & comfortable dining area . The bakery offers true delicacies; I had two of them !! Both the Cinnamon roll & apple puff are " Winners " baked daily w/ many imported ingredients. Next time perhaps an almond croissant or raisin roll/ chocolate roll to name a few. A croissant 🥐 lovers Paradise for sure !!! The bakery also has many speciality loaves of bread ; ie. Beer bread, walnut bread, multigrain & more. I sat for my aptly named " Royal breakfast " ( # 7 on the menu ). From countless / endless cubed fried potatoes with finely diced onion & herbs to the perfectly prepared & presented sunny side up fried eggs. No runny egg whites yet perfectly oozing egg yolks , these may be the best looking most well prepared eggs I have ever been served. I am feeling " Royal " plus 3 flavourful & crisp bacon 🥓🥓🥓 strips ( long ) and 2 slices of toast w/ fresh butter & strawberry 🍓 jam. An attractive hot chocolate was served in lieu of coffee or tea ( thanks Paris B.B. for substituting ) and fresh orange juice along with a sparkling clean glass w/ water. It is nearly 8am , an enjoyable hour here @ Paris Bakery Bistro and I wish to join the legions of patrons & loyal customers you have. I have a few picture shares of the environment, my meal & beverages. Finally Arissa ( English & Thai speaking is kind & gracious , her two servers today are polite, nice, well groomed & efficient. No mistakes, no delays ! This P.B.B. exceeds 5 stars , please see for yourselves & it's ok to get a super early start 😀/ Ok worth noting my servers names Nong Aye & Nong Wone they are the best !!! Update ; I come here so often I have lost track of exactly how many times ?!!! I believe Paris Bakery Bistro is among the Best of Businesses / Restaurants/ Bakeries / Service establishments in Hua Hin & beyond. Personable / familiar & very likeable staff /great baked goods , breads & snacks to takeaway and a great environment to sit comfortably & enjoy your meals ! # 7 Royal Breakfast suits me to a tee & I repeat order every time adding extra bacon & substituting hot chocolate instead of tea or coffee. I am as Happy as a Clam ! Today is May 8 & Arisa & Gregory ( owners ) begin their vacation of one week... Wish them well and we will enthusiastically greet them upon their return about Fri May 17, 2024 . Thanks for everything Superlative !!!

Find humor in my share ; pulled up @ 3 minutes shy of our 6pm ( 18:00 ) reservation and the 28 minute drive from Wang Phong was filled with slow drivers, drivers stopping for no reason, double lane blockers , red lights , a bit stressful yet we made it to Brasserie ! I asked Gigi, please get in , get our seaside reserved table and I will park ( not easy ). The hostess said something yet I had no time to listen as cars, bikes, trucks were stopped on this one laner behind me. I drove our Haval thru the maze of carts, bikes, people walking with inches to spare and made a big loop through 2 traffic lights to get somewhat close to the restaurant ( 200 metres ). I took an alleyway street to cut across that I had seen our first drive and Murphys law kicked in ; a small flat bed pickup beginning to unload several hundred cases of water one at a time. I attempted to squeeze thru with mirrors hitting their truck and my opposite side wheels running up on two concrete blocks, this isn't going to work. Can't back up either ? So the question is will the driver of the truck take a moment and pull forward 5 metres to allow this farang to pass in a very busy neighborhood of bars, restaurants, massage businesses, etc. No he didn't until the one boy finished unloading the skyscaper load of cases of water. I was impatient inside yet polite & respectful outside when they finally left and my having to back up to allow them out. Oh well, I walked several minutes with google maps walking guide & found my way back. Walking upstairs to the restaurant and seeing Gigi sitting the idyllic seaside table for two ! Here she tells me what the Thai hostess was trying to communicate to me that they had a parking place in a mini off street lot reserved for us ??? What an adventure unlike any other over a Lifetime just getting into a restaurant ? Ironically, a tasty set of appetizers awaiting. Menus offered , and a greeting by name from Owner of 10 years ( Brasserie has 30 years to their credit ! ), his name Phillipe Damonte, a very personable man. Ok, garlic cheese bread too die for, thank you & six slices ! Also a basket with a couple of fresh dinner rolls. # 23 was my entree and when it arrived , an OMG moment !!! I have not had a steak of this generous thickness anywhere in Thailand and I have covered nearly 70 provinces in both 39 months living in Khon Kaen & Phetchabun and ten previous long duration stays spanning twenty years coming from the USA. Beautiful dark sear , tender to the slice, juicy & cooked to my picky medium rare toward medium request. Expertise on the grill ! I had read reviews prior & knew that the red wine reduction was the faborite sauce of choice and it certainly was. The steak fries were tasty , fresh cut, lightly salted & served with American Catsup thank you. Gigi sipped on her Heineken choosing not to eat as she had Somtom earlier. The three servers were conspicuous yet never approached us ( forgiven ) , as I would have ordered more garlic cheese toast and asked for ice for both my wifes beer and my water. When I waved to them and said " Nam Kaen Khup " , which means ice please, one young server showed up with opened bottles of water and a bucket of ice ? ( forgiven as she has a kind demeanor & misunderstood ). The vegetable medley sauteed in oil and condiments was the single best vegetable accompaniment in memory. So the meal is off the charts Incredible !!! We enjoyed the Gulfs surf brushing the shoreline a near distance from our table.No hurry to leave we shared a dessert , so many sumptuous choices & settled on a raspberry crumble. They baked it in a ceramic bowl & it was piping hot to our delight with vanilla scoop above. Perfect finish ! Earlier I had wished a glass of wine & was hopeful someone would suggest red, white, rose. No mention ( forgiven ) as the Choices are on a wall menu & I didn't have my reading glasses. Were the new staff members trained just a little better I would have easily spent 300 baht more and then some. Off season now after Songkran and businesses should be alert to not only maximize $ & serve+
