Best Brunch and Breakfast in Paris

As a foodie, I love to enjoy good food in good company and breakfast is my favorite meal of the day! In this article I am sharing with you my favorite addresses to enjoy the best brunch and breakfast in Paris! Going to these places will be the best way to start your day in the French capital! All these amazing Parisian cafes and restaurants offer the best food and drinks!

In Paris the brunch is usually a buffet or a menu for a total price of 25€ to 35€ on average (there are also more fancy options in the luxury hotels). But I am not always hungry enough for this formula so most of the places on my list allow you to choose your meal à la carte!

Before I start to share with you the best brunch and breakfast in Paris, I need to tell you something… Parisians looove to go out for brunch in the weekend and those cafes being some of the best ones of Paris, they are all popular. Therefore, here is my secret tip if you do not want to wait in line starving for 30 min to 1 hour in front of the coffee shop: it’s better to come during the week or early morning during the weekend. On Saturday and Sunday, it starts to get busy around 11:30 and if you show up around noon for sure you will have to queue! Now you know 😉 .

Now let’s jump into the list of the best places to have breakfast and brunch in Paris!

I mentioned in the details if those places offer vegan, gluten free or dairy free options. 

Sunday in Soho

Sunday in Soho is a cozy cafe where the staff will make you feel at home immediately! I have been there a few times and whether it’s crowded or not you will always feel welcome! No wonder why their motto is “good vibes served daily” 🙂 . Good vibes and good food making the best combo, you know why Sunday in Soho is part of the best places for brunch and breakfast in Paris!

Here the brunch is a la carte and you can choose in their US inspired menu: bacon and eggs or avocado toast, pancakes or healthy bowls, homemade cakes like banana bread or carrot cake…

My favorite on the menu: I brought here one of my American friends and she kept on saying how the Naughty Biscuit was amazing (bacon, egg, cheddar on homemade buttermilk biscuit with a side of breakfast potatoes). I am more into sweets and I just love everything here!

Vegetarian options.

Kafkaf

Kafkaf is a new cafe that opened at the beginning of the summer 2020. Little sister of Bon Bouquet Café (cf. my article about the The Best Coffee Shops in Paris) Kafkaf offers also everyday brunch and specialty coffee. I adore both of these places because not only the food is delish but also the presentation of the dishes is perfect, and the decoration of the venues is lovely! You will want to come here again and again: the top of the best brunch and breakfast in Paris!

In Kafkaf the dishes are homemade with fresh and quality products. You will find all the brunch essentials (avocado toasts, French toasts, pancakes, granola bowls…) with a little oriental touch (spices, orange flower, pistachios…). You will also enjoy this oriental touch in the design of the restaurant!

My favorite on the menu: I don’t know where to start as everything is so good: from their epic grilled cheese ultra-cheesy, to their tasty pancakes with mascarpone, pistachio and raspberries, without forgetting the scrumptious French Toast with orange blossom mascarpone and caramelized pecan nuts… OMG my mouth is watering only by thinking about it! My secret tip would be to pick a few different dishes and shares! This will allow you to enjoy all the amazing flavors!

Vegetarian options.

Holycake

Holycake is a coffee shop specialized in cake design and brunch. Whether you are a dessert addict or just looking for a great place to start the day, you will enjoy it for sure!

If you come in a weekday the brunch menu is à la carte, but during the weekend it’s a buffet with a theme changing each time (book in advance by email – for 25 €).

On the brunch menu during the week you will find an avocado toast, sweet or savory waffles, sweet or savory pancakes, a granola bowl, and much more!

This place is a gem and you will thank me for having shared it in the best brunch and breakfast in Paris!

My favorite on the menu: the whole menu is amazing so it’s hard to choose something as a favorite! The avocado toast with cooked cherry tomatoes, pine nuts and strawberries was fab. I also enjoyed the waffles with seasonal fruits and mascarpone. And you cannot (I really insist) leave Holycake without trying at least one of their desserts: would it be a cupcake or slice of layer cake! My secret tip: of you are not too hungry anymore for a dessert, pick one of the cute baby cupcakes or choose something to take away, you won’t regret it!

Opening hours: Every day 8:00 -17:00 (kitchen closing at 16:00)

Kozy

Kozy has several cafes in Paris that will serve you from breakfast to lunch. But their café located in the 7^th arrondissement not far from the Eiffel Tower – Kozy Bosquet – offers also brunch all week since this summer! This brunch is delicious, and I am glad it’s accessible not only in the weekend anymore! Kozy Bosquet also just revamped their café so you will enjoy a cozy place (hence the name) with a lovely deco inside and a welcoming terrace.
