At Paddo Café, breakfast and brunch are elevated to an art form.

While the café can get busy, as noted by Elle Spaulding, the attentive staff are committed to ensuring every guest feels well taken care of. From quick service to friendly interactions, the team at Paddo Café enhances the experience. Of course, minor waits are part of a bustling cafe environment, but they only build anticipation for what’s to come.

With a vibe that is both cozy and vibrant, Paddo Café invites you to relax and enjoy the moment, whether you're catching up with friends, enjoying a quiet morning, or simply soaking in the stunning view of the nearby cathedral, which is a treat by itself.

Beat the rush & enjoyed our breakfast immensely! Coffee was delicious as well. It ended up very busy, but the staff was so great!

Best option for breakfast/brunch if you want eggs! Delicious but be ready portions are huge! Coffee was great and you can’t beat the cathedral view.

Excellent breakfast with vegetarian options! I had the halloumi sandwich and a flat white. Other dishes around the restaurant also looked amazing.

Delicious and well-presented food, I enjoyed every bite of it. The interior is very nice, especially for architecture/ interior design lovers. The only minor complaint would be the waiting time - both in terms in waiting for menus, staff to come and waiting for our food & espressos

The café was super close to our hotel, so we tried it out for Sunday breakfast. Very happy that we did so. Best coffee I’ve had so far in Lille, and food portions were more than we could handle. We will definitely dine here again if we are in the area.

A lovely central brunch spot in Lille with great service. It was very busy so we had to make a reservation so keep that in mind on the weekends. The food coffee was incredible. But, the only downside was the music - it was quite loud pop music which, paired with the busy atmosphere, was quite invasive.
