Eight of the Best Breakfast Spots in Paris

Eight of the Best Breakfast Spots in Paris



Parisian
breakfasts have evolved beyond a croissant and a café
au lait. Here are nine great spots at which to fuel up for a day of
exploring.

The City of Light’s best breakfast cafés


restaurant

Holybelly

This Melbourne-style café serves up some of the best breakfasts
in Paris – we’re mad for its black-rice porridge garnished with
fromage blanc and seasonal fruit. Wash down with coffee, which
comes from top-notch local roaster, Belleville Brûlerie.

Address

5 Rue Lucien Sampan
75010


restaurant

Café Charlot

A succinct menu is welcomed in the early hours of the day and
Café Charlot hits on all the classics. Head here after a stroll
around Le Marché des Enfants Rouges – even on a Sunday. Go a little
later to nab the set brunch menu, which is served on a tray. Expect
freshly squeezed orange juice, pain perdu (French toast), scrambled
eggs, fruit salad and fromage blanc.

Address

38 Rue de Bretagne

restaurant

Season Paris

Season’s XXL breakfast menu will leave you spoilt for choice,
with multiple types of granola and tartines available, alongside
less Parisian offerings including açai bowls and Instagrammable
green pancakes. The chic, minimalist interiors are rather delicious
too.

Address

1 Rue Charles-François Dupuis
75003


restaurant

Frenchie to Go

Serving fast food with a French twist, Frenchie to Go makes
everything in-house. Drop by before 11.30am for an American-style
breakfast – try its cultish bacon sandwich served on English
muffins (add an egg or cheddar cheese if you fancy) or grab a bag
of maple-syrup-and-bacon scones and a couple of sticky buns for the
office.

restaurant

Claus

A restaurant and grocery shop dedicated to the most important
meal of the day, Claus is open seven days a week (a rarity in
Paris), and serves as blended menu influenced by Nordic, British,
American and French cooking. Order the combo of eggs (topped with
crispy bacon), a pastry and juice.

restaurant

Wild & the Moon

With a menu formulated by vegan nutritionists, Wild & the
Moon is the health-centric restaurant worthy of a trip to Le
Marais. While the menu is dominated by juices and tonics – try the
blue algae smoothie or the charcoal latte – its flavourful grain
bowls and raw desserts go down just as easy. Stock up on the café’s
“wild” bars for your travels.

Address

55 Rue Charlot
75003


restaurant

Café Méricourt

With a menu to rival sister eatery Café Oberkampf, Guy Griffin’s
Café Méricourt is a firm favourite among French foodies. Order the
breakfast roll with egg, bacon and chili jam or its trademark
shakshuka.

Address

22 Rue de la Folie Méricourt
75011

restaurant

Café Antonia, Le Bristol

Inhale croissants beneath crystal chandeliers at this popular
posting in the elegant 8th arrondissement. Perfect for a morning
tête-à-tête, the chic Café Antonia serves a classic à la carte
menu, which lists fresh-cut fruits, decadent pastries and eggs made
to order among other culinary delights.
