Brunch is a sacred moment to be shared with family or friends! A full-fledged weekend activity, brunch has become an important part of celebrating a few days of relaxation before heading back to school or the daily grind. Each year, in Paris, « brunchy » restaurants multiply, presenting diners of all ages with a large selection of delicacies to discover. Let’s take a look at the trendy and kid-friendly establishments!
In the 14th arrondissement
At the foot of the Montparnasse Tower, you will find our first gourmand location, or should we say gourmet!? The 100% organic brunch at Les Fauves was created by David et Lionel, two childhood friends who are passionate about ecology. Here you can dine on delicious and delicate dishes in an elegant environment full of plants. On the menu: perfect egg, cream of smoked celery and caramelized hazelnuts, salmon gravlax, pickled cucumbers, coleslaw style bulgur, chocolate cookies with salted butter caramel, banana bread with lime, granola with farm fresh fromage blanc, pear compote with cardamom, hot drinks and fresh fruit juices. Let’s feast! Location
In the 15th arrondissement
Selective families should check out Biscotte. With a choice between ordering from a menu or a buffet with primarily local products, everyone will find something they like! The house specialty? Delicious verrines inspired by the best seasonal products. Forget the traditional eggs and bacon! Here, breakfast means refinement. On the savory side: beef tataki, smoked salmon, asparagus velouté, octopus tabbouleh, vitello tonnato and farm raised veal, buckwheat and apples, etc. On the sweet side: brioches, chocolate cookies, madeleines, panna cotta and fruit salads. The dining room is decorated in an industrial style that helps bring out the semi-open kitchen. Location
In the 16th arrondissement
At the chic cafe La Terrasse, you will experience a buffet in a rustic atmosphere. The decoration is warm with its gray concrete walls and suspended chairs made out of natural wood. An unusual oasis in Paris’ 16th arrondissement where you can find, during the winter and summer, a large selection of sweet and savory options: squash or sweet potato velouté, tuna rillettes, bagels with salmon, quiches, roast-beef, cheesecakes, bean salad, mini floating islands, chocolate cake, etc. Special shout out for the excellent homemade lemonade! We recommend reserving your table 48 hours in advance if you absolutely want to share this moment with your family on the cafe’s terrace. Location
In the 17th arrondissement
Every Sunday morning, Parisians find a table at Gabylou!

Finesse and originality are the focus in the small pastoral garden at the Bontemps pastry shop. Famous for its extraordinary sable shortbreads, the shop also offers an original brunch. On the menu: homemade buns, capicola or tuna ventresca, candied tomato tart, white ham with truffles, viennoiseries, fromage blanc and fruit salads. A small and unique slice of heaven, which reminds us of Alice in Wonderland with its mismatched dishes and instagrammable delicacies. A secret garden that we would have loved to keep secret… A note for later: parents will love the lemon cake, which happens to be the best in Paris. Location
For Sunday avocado addicts
Every Sunday, Avocateria offers an Avo brunch. Each season, the shop continuously reinvents and re imagines new, 100% healthy recipes with a base of HASS avocados from Spain, known for their tender flesh and their light, nutty flavor. On the menu: Two brioche toasts garnished with either avocados (obviously), spices, runny egg, amazing homemade curry humus, or their signature guacamole, watermelon radishes, Norwegian smoked salmon, and poppy seeds. All this is accompanied by tortillas, quinoa salad, feta, mesclun and nuts or fromage blanc or homemade organic nut granola. At Avocateria, the dishes are homemade, sophisticated, and certainly instagrammable!

It was after traveling the world that Martin discovered all the secrets that the cacao bean had to offer, or rather the art of chocolate, THE specialty at Hoct&Lola.
