Paulo'z Way - Portuguese Bakery on New Park Road/Brixton Hill

You don't have to go drawing attention to my blatant lie.

Onkey: I'm just having one then a salad. okay?
 
And my dinner tonight isn't a chocolate mousse cake from M&S instead of that rainbow trout sat in the fridge, nosireebob.

I went today. I actually really like the 'more is more' decor :D

But it was chaotic. They were incredibly busy which seemed to have taken them by surprise and they didn't seem to have any system for taking orders. That meant that some people got served quickly and some people (including us) had to wait ages. We had to queue for 5-10 minutes just to pay as well. And the custard tarts weren't great although I think the ones they have at the moment are bought in - they will be making their own at some point apparently. I hope it improves - I really want it to be good.

That's pretty much my experience too. I love the place - they're really friendly, I love the freaky/jolly decor and the MTV, but they seem really spun out by how busy it is and don't seem to be able to cope with it. They're all trying to do everything. They need one person to take orders and £ at the till, and one person to bring the food out and collect the dishes. I hope they get better cos I think it's got loads of potential. They'll give the deli on New Pk Rd a run for her money, cos her bread's loads more expensive....

Hi Han! *waves*

I know it all does seem to have taken them by surprise, doesn't it? :D

I'm really hoping that Paulo's and Spoon (along with our excellent greengrocers) will complement each other in that people will actually start to think about coming to New Park Road to shop for food. As for the price of bread, I've had, for example, a loaf of truly magnificent walnut and onion bread from Spoon for £1.50 which seems comparable to the bread prices in Paulo's (sorry, can't bring myself to use the 'z suffix), and they're different products really.

I'm hoping they both do well. *crosses fingers*
 
Has anyone found out there opening times and days yet?

I was going to pop up there tonight but thought it might be too late at just after 6.00pm
 
The only bread I saw when I was in there was ciabatta type bread. That was about 3pm on monday.

Nah, he won't eat that

I would have popped up tomorrow but I've somewhere else to be.

Friday's no good as boiler man is coming so not sure when he'll finish.

I'll have to try to pop up there myself on Thursday as I probably have to go to chemist anyway.

Is it open Wednesday just out of interest?

Are there any sweet stuffs that aren't bad for cholesterol?

himself keeps going to Sainsbury's and moaning about how crap it is :rolleyes:

and then comes back with chocolate eclairs and jam and cream doughnuts that naturally I have to help him eat :oops:

I make him go to Sainsbury's as it's uphill so it's better exercise for him and he doesn't feel as embarrassed getting a bus up there as he does to Nisa :D
