Brunch in Paris comes in many forms: Melbourne-style cafés with pancakes and flat whites, Levantine buffets loaded with dips and salads, historic tea rooms and grand hotel Sundays. Prices range from about €20 for a café plate to well over €100 at a palace.

This guide covers ten brunch spots across budgets and neighborhoods, with what to order, what it costs and how to avoid the longest queues.

How We Chose These Spots

This is an editorial selection, not a scientific or absolute ranking. We looked at published guides and each venue's own menus and booking information, and we chose places with different styles and budgets. Practical tips also draw on patterns in public diner reviews. The spots appear by style, not in order of preference.

The guide is compiled from published sources, not from personal visits. Brunch menus, prices and hours change often, especially on holidays, so check before you go.

Paris Brunch at a Glance

Figures are per person, from 2024–2026 menus and listings. Fixed-price and buffet brunches may or may not include hot drinks and juice, so check what is included. Service is included in French prices.

Pancakes, Coffee and All-Day Brunch

Holybelly

Address: 5 Rue Lucien Sampaix, 75010 Paris

Sarah Mouchot and Nico Alary brought the Melbourne café to Paris in 2013, and Holybelly helped shape the city's modern brunch scene. The savoury pancake stack, topped with fried eggs, bacon and bourbon butter and drenched in maple syrup, is the signature. The Eggs & Sides plate is a lighter alternative. Coffee is a serious part of the experience.

Practical details: expect around €15 to €25 per person. Holybelly does not take reservations, and weekend waits of 30 minutes or more are common, so arrive at opening or come on a weekday. Opening hours have varied in listings, so check before you go. (The original address at number 19 has closed; Holybelly now operates at number 5.)

Kozy Kanopé

Address: 46 Rue La Fayette, 75009 Paris

Part of the Kozy group of brunch cafés, Kozy Kanopé serves brunch all day, every day, in a room decorated like an urban jungle, a short walk from the Opéra and the Galeries Lafayette. The menu covers the classics, from eggs Benedict and avocado toast to brioche French toast, pancakes and bowls, plus coffee drinks and smoothies.

Practical details: prices are moderate, and you order à la carte. Because brunch runs every day, a weekday visit is the easiest way to avoid the queue; diners report waits of an hour or more on busy Sundays. A good option if your schedule does not fit a weekend brunch window.

Season

Address: 1 Rue Charles-François Dupuis, 75003 Paris

Near the Carreau du Temple in the Haut Marais, Season has served a healthy, organic all-day menu since 2015. Brunch dishes include pancakes, avocado toast, poached eggs and açaí bowls, with vegetarian and gluten-free options and a menu that changes with the seasons.

Practical details: prices are moderate for the Marais. Season does not take brunch reservations and gets busy on weekends, so go early. It serves brunch every day, which makes it a good weekday option, and its lighter dishes suit anyone who wants to stay active afterwards.

Mediterranean and Levantine Brunch

Café Méricourt

Address: 22 Rue de la Folie-Méricourt, 75011 Paris

Café Méricourt is a bright, minimalist café in the Oberkampf area, known above all for its shakshuka. The red version comes with tomatoes, peppers and a baked egg, and there is also a green version. The menu also includes ricotta pancakes with seasonal fruit, a breakfast roll with eggs, bacon and chili jam, and granola. The coffee is a strong point.

Practical details: dishes run roughly €10 to €17, so a full meal costs about €20 per person. Published information on reservations has varied, so check the café's site before going, and arrive early on weekends. Choose it for a relaxed brunch with Mediterranean flavors.

Tekés

Address: 4 bis Rue Saint-Sauveur, 75002 Paris

Tekés, from Israeli chef Assaf Granit, serves an all-you-can-eat vegetarian brunch every Sunday under a glass roof near Rue Montorgueil. The buffet is a Levantine spread of hummus, salads, feta pastries, roasted vegetables and breads such as challah and msemen, followed by a shakshuka served at the table, in red, green or yellow versions.

Price and booking: the Sunday brunch is listed at €60 per person, from noon to 3 p.m. The room fills quickly, so reserve ahead. Choose Tekés if you want a generous brunch that happens to be entirely vegetarian.

Boubalé

Address: Le Grand Mazarin, 6 Rue des Archives, 75004 Paris

Boubalé is the restaurant of the Le Grand Mazarin hotel in the Marais. Its menu, also from chef Assaf Granit, draws on Ashkenazi family cooking and Middle Eastern flavors. The Sunday brunch is a sweet and savory buffet with homemade savory tarts, salads, scrambled eggs and a large dessert table, including a lemon meringue tart.

Price and booking: adult prices have been listed at around €62 to €72, with children aged 5 to 12 at €36 and under-5s free. Brunch runs on Sundays from noon to 3 p.m. Book ahead. It is a good choice for families or a group that wants a lively hotel brunch in the Marais.

All-You-Can-Eat Buffet

B.O.U.L.O.M.

Address: 181 Rue Ordener, 75018 Paris

B.O.U.L.O.M. stands for "boulangerie où l'on mange," a bakery where you eat. Behind a traditional bakery front, chef Julien Duboué runs a large loft dining room built around a buffet of hot and cold dishes, much of it inspired by southwest France. Breads are made on site with organic heritage wheats. On weekends, the buffet turns into brunch, with pastries, breads and smoothies added.

Price and booking: published weekend brunch prices range from about €40 to €58 per adult, so check the current rate. Children under 14 pay according to their age. Reservations are only taken for groups of eight or more. The kitchen fights waste by charging for food left on the plate, so take only what you will eat.

Classic Paris and Luxury

Carette

Address: 4 Place du Trocadéro-et-du-11-Novembre, 75016 Paris

Carette has been a Trocadéro tea room since 1927, with marble tables, mirrors and a terrace looking across the square, with the Eiffel Tower nearby. Brunch dishes include scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and club sandwiches, but most people come for the pastries, macarons and hot chocolate. A second Carette is under the arcades of the Place des Vosges in the Marais.

Practical details: expect roughly €25 to €60 per person, and prices are high for a café. Queues can be long, especially for a terrace table on weekends. It opens early, so a morning visit is easier. Choose Carette for a classic Parisian experience after a walk to the Trocadéro viewpoint.

Le Tout-Paris

Address: Cheval Blanc Paris, 7th floor, 8 Quai du Louvre, 75001 Paris

The Michelin-starred rooftop brasserie of Cheval Blanc Paris serves a Sunday brunch overlooking the Seine and the Pont Neuf. Under the supervision of Arnaud Donckele, chef William Béquin's kitchen sends out generous sharing dishes, and the dessert spread from Maxime Frédéric's pastry team is a highlight. The colorful dining room was designed by Peter Marino.

Price and booking: the Sunday brunch has been listed at about €160 per person. Book well ahead through the hotel, and ask for a table with a view. Choose it for a birthday, anniversary or once-in-a-trip Sunday.

By the Luxembourg Gardens

Treize au Jardin

Address: 5 Rue de Médicis, 75006 Paris

Facing the Jardin du Luxembourg, Treize au Jardin is a tea room run by friends Laurel Sanderson, who is American, and Kajsa von Sydow, who is Swedish. The cooking mixes Southern American and Scandinavian touches: buttermilk biscuits, French toast with crispy chicken and honeyed apples, seasonal salads and homemade cakes, often with organic ingredients.

Practical details: prices are moderate, and the café does not take reservations, so expect to wait at peak times. There is a small terrace, and at least one gluten-free option is usually available. It is an easy pairing with a walk in the Luxembourg Gardens before or after.
