The best brunch spots in Paris (2024)

This bright bistro on the rue de la Main-d'Or has something of a cult following, and for good reason. Currently Aubeonly serves brunch on the weekends, but the team are hoping to extend it to weekdays soon enough.Its menu is fresh, largely vegetarian dishes: chicken-free Caesar salad, almond and garlic gazpacho, homemade granola, and filter coffee from Mick's. Our favourite brunch spot in the city.

Boulom is athree-in-one spot: a restaurant, bakery and yes, a hidden co*cktail bar. The brainchild of Julien Duboué, this large, bright room boasts a monumental buffet, surrounded by long tables under a cheerful green ceiling. Head to the all-you-can-eat buffet at weekends– it's€49, but it's bloody worth it. We're talking black pudding terrine, eggs and mimosas, all like you've never seen them before.Oh, and look out for the dessert stand.

With its cream-coloured interiors, vintage decor and entirely home-cooked dishes made from well-sourced and good-quality ingredients, Gramme 3 is something special. Go àla carte with an array of carrot cakes, cookies, chocolate cakes and scones, and try the super ‘banh mi dog’ (€12.50), atwist onthe Vietnamese snack, with meat from Châteauneuf, pickled vegetables from Halles Trottemant and green mayo with coriander, all tucked into a soft hot dog bun from Petit Grain. There’s also artisanal juices (€3.50-5), good filter coffee (€3.50) and teas from Kodama (€4.50).

Echo is known for its brilliant à la carte brunch with impressive gluten and dairy-free options.From scrambled eggs on chunky toasted brioche to multi-grain pancakes served with seasonal fruits, the menu brims with moreish L.A.-style dishes done right. We like the oozing, indulgent Caramelised Grilled Cheese and the gluten-free pancakes.

In Anglophone countries, patisseries mean France. Here, for once, the reverse is true. Following on from the wildly popular Bob's Kitchen and Bob's Cold Press, Bob's Bake Shop extends the winning formula to baked goods, and bagels in particular. The (excellent) coffee may be locally produced, but the shop channels the same yuppified American vibe as its sister venues. Everything, from the the scrumptious pies to the bagels themselves, is baked onsite, and served with the freshest veggie ingredients. As always, quality comes with a price, and with bagels clocking in at €8 and fruit juices at €5 your wallet will take a harder hit than your stomach. If you want to get your money's worth, repair to one of the large wooden tables outside and take your time watching the crowds go by on the Rue Nathalie Sarraute.

The former Saint-Ouen train station built in 1889 was renovated by three young Parisians.Beginning asa collaborative crowd-funding project, Le Hasard Ludique has seen 1,200 ‘builders’ and volunteers helping with each stage of the construction and their know-how to create a yearly super-festival.
