Overview of Paris Brunch Spots

Here’s a quick overview of each brunch spot listed alphabetically, with current hours.  To look at menus, simply click on the name of the restaurant.  Then below are photos of each spot, so you can get a feel for where you’ll be brunching…

My favorite spots are starred.

Cafe de Flore is the quintessential corner Parisian cafe, serving breakfast daily.

1. 5 Pailles = Simple Little Cafe in the 10th Arrondisement.  This unassuming yet charming cafe has a small terrace, granola, pancakes, tartines, & all kinds of egg dishes to satisfy your breakfast needs.  Hours: Monday-Friday 9AM-3PM, Saturday & Sunday 10AM-4PM.
2. Buvette Gastrotheque = Weekend Brunches by Sacre-Coeur.  This place looks more like a wine bar than a brunch spot ~ but their weekend brunches are very popular…though brunch offerings are more classic French fare than hearty American-style.  Hours: Saturday & Sunday 10:30AM-4:45PM.  
3. **Cafe de Flore = The Quintessential Cute Corner Cafe in Paris.  One of the longest-running cafes in Paris: this is what you think of when you think of a “Paris Cafe.” Serving up a simple breakfast daily starting early ~ come here to people-watch: you’re right by the University & Luxembourg Gardens. Hours: 7:30AM-1:30AM DAILY.
4. Cafe Sainte-Regis = Brunch Right Across from Historic Notre Dame.  No other breakfast place on this list will put you so close to Notre Dame (which is currently being restored), & they open at 7AM every day ~ making this one of the earliest places you can grab breakfast. Hours: 7AM-2AM DAILY.  
5. Cafe Mericourt = Casual ALL-Day Brunch Spot with Specialty Coffees.  A cute little cafe on the Right Bank offering Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, poached eggs, tartines, & a killer Breakfast Bun.  Hours: Monday-Friday 8:30AM-3PM, Saturday & Sunday 9:30AM-3:30PM.  
6. Chez Casimir = Unpretentious LATE Breakfast Spot.  Early risers: look elsewhere. Everyone else: come for a good neighborhood breakfast with friendlier service than your typical Paris cafe.  Hours: Monday-Friday 11:45AM-2:30PM, Saturday & Sunday 10AM-7PM.  
7. Coffee Parisien = Several Paris Locations & Straight-Forward Breakfast Fare.  Here you’ll get simple scrambled eggs, Eggs Benedict, Huevos Rancheros, or Chocolate Chip Pancakes ~ plus bagels & waffles. Straight-forward, more American fare. Hours: 12PM-11PM DAILY.  
8. HolyBelly 5 & 19 = Hip New Breakfast Joints in Industrial-Chic Setting.  Breakfast & lunch are served ALL DAY here, from 9AM-5PM, & they’ve got everything from breakfast staples to more inventive fare. Come & enjoy the BUZZZ!  Hours: 9AM-5PM DAILY.  
9. Kozy Bosquet = Breakfast by the Eiffel Tower.  They bill themselves as a “cozy restaurant with good vibes,” & their fantastic location on the Left Bank by all the best Paris museums AND Eiffel Tower is a W-I-N. Grab granola, pancakes, avocado toast, or a “Sexy Benny” with their ALL-WEEK brunch. Hours: Monday-Friday 8:30AM-2:30PM, Saturday & Sunday 9:30AM-4PM.  
10. **La Bauhinia at the Shangri-La Hotel = Upscale Brunch with Outdoor Terrace & Eiffel Tower VIEWS.  One of the most high-end brunches on the list, La Bauhinia is approachable glamour, with a HUGE breakfast menu, all kinds of juices, fruits, egg dishes, French Toast, smoked salmon, & even some Asian dishes. This is a brunch to remember!!  Hours: 7AM-10:30AM DAILY.  
11. La Nouvelle Seine = Sunday Brunch Buffet on a Boat!  This is the only place where you can brunch on a boat: & you can only do it on Sundays….so reserve early for this unforgettable Paris experience.  Hours: Sunday Brunch ONLY 12PM-2:15PM.  
12. **Loulou Paris = More Lunch than Brunch, But a Gorgeous Setting.  Set within the Musee des Artes, by the Tuileries Gardens, sure: this is more a lunch spot. But the garden setting & classic Paris architecture will have you swooning…& make your friends on Instagram jealous.  Hours: 12PM-3PM DAILY. 
13. **Maison Sauvage = Gorgeous Pink Flowers with a Gothic Southern Flair.  Pink flowers drip down the exterior of Maison Sauvage, making it the most gothic place on the list.  And they serve breakfast daily, from pancakes to omelettes to acai bowls.  Hours: 7AM-2AM DAILY.
14. Marlon = Cozy “California Cool” by the Eiffel Tower.  Tucked right by the Eiffel Tower, Marlon’s got more “California” vibes than Paris ones, but it’s the hip new kid on the block ~ & one to check out: especially the Avocado Toast with Pomegranate & Feta.  Hours: 10AM-11PM DAILY.
15. Hotel Plaza Athenee’s La Galerie Restaurant = Opulent Spot to Savor Sunday Brunch or High Tea.  Set within the iconic Hotel Plaza Athenee (a favorite with celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker) is La Galerie ~ a great place to enjoy a long, leisurely brunch, or high tea with some of Paris’ most fashionable residents.
16. Terrass = Rooftop Brunch with VIEWS to Die For!  Located at the top of Terrass Hotel, is Terrass the restaurant. You’ll find panoramic views of Paris here ~ as well as a delicious breakfast buffet. This is an “occasion” place!  Hours: 7AM-10:30AM DAILY.
