Gastronomic brunches in Paris

Ladurée Paris (8th) — The go-to luxurious buffet

Inside the romantic, luxurious, and flowery tearoom at Ladurée Champs-Élysées, a truly exceptional brunch is served every Sunday. The iconic venue offers a self-serve buffet of refined dishes ranging from Wagyu beef to lobster, oysters, and smoked salmon. While the tasty dishes — burger, salt-crusted sea bass, croque-monsieur, shrimp brioche — are certainly worth it, the house pastries steal the show. Among a dazzling array of colourful macarons, Ladurée’s signature, a chocolate fountain, freshly baked waffles, French toast, and slices of delicious bûche, making a choice is no easy task. The cherry on top? A pianist performs R&B and pop classics from the 2000s throughout the brunch.

Ladurée, 75 Avenue des Champs-Élysées, 75008 Paris.

Pavyllon Paris (8th) — Yannick Alléno’s gourmet brunch

Arguably one of the most sophisticated brunches in Paris. Pavyllon Paris – Yannick Alléno offers an array of exquisite dishes every Sunday at the counter, in front of an open kitchen. Exceptional lobster rolls, a revamped omelette with pecorino emulsion, a gougère turned into a sandwich, cold chicken with crispy chicken skin chips and lovage mayo, a salmon blini both tender and crisp, a chocolate profiterole with a rich, spicy sauce that is gourmet, but not overly sweet… The entire menu is a masterclass in elegance and taste.

Maison Delano Paris (8th) — The intimate gourmet brunch

Every Sunday at the Delano Café, inside the five-star Maison Delano hotel near the Élysée Palace, a gourmet brunch worth discovering is served. Curated by the talented Italian-born chef Paolo Minelli, who previously worked at the Martinez in Cannes and at Park Hyatt Vendôme, the Sunday meal features a refined selection of cold dishes and salads – vitello tonnato, Niçoise salad, pastrami bagel. Along with shellfish, charcuterie and cheese, viennoiseries, and delicious desserts – lemon tart, tropézienne, rice pudding, Saint-Honoré…

The shaded terrace and Mediterranean décor make the setting particularly pleasant, while the chef’s signature hot dishes impress us. Especially the truffle celery risotto and the squid with mashed potato and tomato confit.

Bvlgari Hôtel Paris (8th) — An ultra luxurious and intimate brunch

For the past few months, the Bvlgari Hôtel Paris, ideally located in the Golden Triangle, has been offering a brunch celebrating Italian gastronomy. Conceived by Michelin-starred chef Niko Romito, this Sunday menu offers both cold (fish crudo, focaccia) and hot ones (eggs, langoustine pasta, risotto, cod with potato cream). They are all served at the table, alongside a magnificent buffet. Choosing is not an easy task with all these starters, from octopus salad to high-quality Italian charcuterie and desserts. The highlight? Its hidden terrace, oysters served mid-meal by waiters, and its luxurious décor — ceramics, mirrors, onyx counter, porcelain tableware.

With a themed menu focusing on the sea, the brunch at La Bauhinia, located inside the Shangri-La Paris palace, will delight seafood lovers. Every Sunday, chef Quentin Testart presents a brunch that blends signature dishes, such as the lobster French toast, grilled octopus, lemon cream with pimentons, luxurious starters, like caviar served with a mother-of-pearl spoon, and a self-serve buffet of shellfish, cheeses, and desserts by pastry chef Maxence Barbot.

Outdoor brunches with terrasse in Paris

Le Chalet des Îles Paris (16th) — An outdoor break by the lake

The Chalet des Îles is worth a detour, not only for its generous Sunday brunch – a variety of salads, seafood, barbecue, pastries, fresh juices – but also for its exceptional setting. As a true haven of peace in the heart of nature, the spot must be earned. You will have to take a small boat across the water to reach the pavilion. After enjoying a smoothie or freshly baked crêpes, you can stroll around the island or row a boat across the lower lake of the Bois de Boulogne. Enough to make you feel worlds away from Paris, even though this chic spot is only a few metres from the capital.

The Brach Paris hotel in the 16th arrondissement has all it takes to please us. With warm interiors designed by Philippe Starck and a rooftop with a panoramic view, this former postal sorting centre now offers one of the most lavish self-serve brunches in Paris. Served every Sunday, the Mediterranean buffet features an array of tempting dishes. Truffle tarama, hummus, moutabal, mozzarella, lasagna, oysters, zaatar lamb shoulder, olives, and salmon carpaccio… The only downside? It’s so popular that you may have to wait around twenty minutes before reaching the buffet.

One of the most luxurious and impressive brunches in Paris is at the legendary Café de la Paix near Place de l’Opéra. In its opulent Second Empire setting, the café serves a generous Sunday buffet designed by chef Laurent André. Expect an abundance of savoury dishes, viennoiseries, seafood, and desserts.

Original brunches and unique experiences

CoCo Paris (Opéra) — An elegant brunch in an impressive setting

There are plenty of reasons to give in to CoCo’s weekend brunch. First, the chic, retro-contemporary décor of the Opéra Garnier. Then, the perfect avocado toast. And finally, the live music. While sipping your smoothie and enjoying your Benedict eggs and pancakes topped with fresh fruit, you will be treated to live jazz standards performed by a singer and guitarist, in particular covers of Billie Holiday. The result is a romantic, almost magical atmosphere.

Opéra Garnier, 1 Pl. Jacques Rouché, 75009 Paris.

Kapara Paris (1st) — A festive brunch with Levantine influences

Brunch at Kapara is anything but ordinary. A true experience, it begins with a live culinary show as an amuse-bouche. The restaurant’s chef, Zohar Sasson, personally wheels out a trolley of starters, preparing them with flair next to the tables. Diners are treated to mouthwatering Mediterranean dishes – recipes by Assaf Granit. You have the tahini with confit garlic, crème fraîche, tomatoes and zhug, fattoush salad (cucumber, tomato, feta, sumac), and Bish Bash (fennel, orange, Kalamata olives).

We also love the pastrami with ras el hanout mustard and corn ribs with gorgonzola aioli. Choosing a main course is a delicious challenge, followed by a lavish buffet of date-based desserts, cheese, chocolate mousse, and fruit. The extra touch? A festive vibe thanks to upbeat music and joyful crowd.

This one also includes three cocktail bars, Paris’s first Rizzoli New York bookstore with a curated selection of fashion and art books, and a rooftop kiosk with a stunning view. Once strictly a nightlife venue, the 6th arrondissement location now opens at noon and on Saturdays.

Cravan 165 Boulevard Saint-Germain, 75006 Paris.

Drouant Paris (6th) — Tracing back the greatest writers

The brunch at Drouant is a rather classic one – excellent viennoiseries, fruit juice, Benedict eggs with an optional glass of champagne. However, what makes the experience memorable is the setting. This is where the Goncourt andRenaudot literary prizes are awarded, and where many great French writers have dined. Founded in 1880, the storied Parisian restaurant even appears in a scene from Gérard Oury’s 1965 film The Sucker, starring Bourvil and Louis de Funès. A slice of cultural history.

Drouant, 16-18 Place Gaillon, 75002 Paris.

Pierre Hermé Beaupassage Paris (7th) — Brunch by an exceptional pastry chef

Hidden in a quiet street in the 7th arrondissement, Café Pierre Hermé serves a Sunday brunch that’s worth discovering. Naturally, the menu features the brand’s world-famous signature pastries, like the iconic Ispahan and macarons, as well as tasty viennoiseries. But there’s more with pancakes, fresh juices, and savoury dishes too. From avocado toast to Benedict eggs and waffles with salmon, the selection is very tempting and it’s hard to choose.

Guests can enjoy a Californian buffet (avocado toast, granola, carrot cake), while their four-legged friends are treated to gourmet bites from La Casa Del Doggo and a “Toutouccino”, a cappuccino for dogs. A dog-sitter is even on hand to pamper pups while their owners relax. The result? A fun, laid-back atmosphere where owners and pets often match, sporting mini berets like in an episode of Emily in Paris.

Maison Revka Paris (8th) — The chic and refined Slavic brunch

First, there’s the setting, which takes us away from the hustle and bustle of 21st-century Paris… Stepping into Maison Revka (formerly Maison Russe) means entering a magnificent, luxurious listed private mansion in the 16th arrondissement, adorned with rich tapestries and opulent décor. Then, the food simply leaves everyone speechless. A temple of Slavic gastronomy, the establishment serves a brunch built around exceptional smoked salmon with blinis, pastries, taramasalata and, if you want, caviar. Sunday lunch ends on a sweet note of your choice. We highly recommend the caramel pavlova, a masterful blend of textures and flavors with a melting, ice-cold center.

L’Entente Paris (2nd) — The go-to British brasserie

For those prefering an offbeat brunch, L’Entente, Le British Brasserie near the opera offers a unique alternative in Paris. There’s no viennoiserie buffet here. Instead, the typical brunch fare is given a British twist. The à la carte menu features dishes straight from across the Channel, like tomato-sauce beans with bacon and mushrooms or Scotch eggs.

The whole experience is completed by a savory dish of your choice, such as eggs Benedict with salmon and avocado served on a croissant, or a miso-roasted coquelet.

Vesper, 81 Av. Bosquet, 75007 Paris.

Casa Luca Paris (8th) – A generous Italian buffet

Located near the Arc de Triomphe, Casa Luca recently introduced an Italian brunch that is well worth a try. Every Sunday, the restaurant on Avenue Marceau offers a generous buffet with some of Italy’s most beloved specialties. Guests can enjoy a wide selection of salads — including tomato and mozzarella, and artichoke hearts — grilled vegetables, a wheel of Parmesan from which servings are scooped directly with a spoon, cured meats such as prosciutto and coppa, as well as hot dishes including parmigiana. For dessert, the lavish tiramisu and the cannoli are the real standouts. The cherry on top? A workshop led by the chef teaches children how to make their own pizzas and fresh pasta.
