There are times when you get up without appetite, take a shower and go out with only an orange juice in your stomach. Half way through the morning you feel hungry and feel like it’s too late for breakfast but too early for lunch.
So what’s the solution, brunch! Of course there are great places to have brunch in Paris and we won’t be listing them all here, we will just mention the ones we know or where we often go which are all within a few minutes walk from My Paris Apartment:
Les Frangines
If you’ve worked up an appetite then you just might be able to finish the good quality food that they offer with their brunch menu for 21€:
a basket of croissants,
pain au chocolate and pain au raisin,
fresh bread with butter and jam,
orange juice and a hot drink of your choice (we can recommended the hot chocolate),
eggs with cheese or eggs with salad,
a plate of charcuterie
or for the vegetarians a selection of cheeses
accompanied with delicious fig chutney and finally
fromage blanc with the choice if red fruit coulis or chestnut and honey sauce.
Arrive early 11:30am or be sure to book a table: 0143211180 to avoid disappointment.
Address: 46 rue Raymond Losserand, Paris 75014
When: Saturdays (closed on Sundays)
Félicie
Probably the best value for money, and if you are on a budget you can’t go wrong here. 13.90€ for:
bread and jam,
croissant,
roast potatoes with bacon,
scrambled egg,
fruit salad,
yoghurt,
freshly squeezed juice,
a hot drink
Brunch is offered here on Sundays and bank holidays.
Address: 174 Avenue du Maine, Paris 75014
When: Sundays and bank holidays
Les Pipelettes
For very high quality food this small but classy café on rue Brézin is your choice . You may find it a bit light with the first few nibbles, but if you go for the full monty, you get a selection of either high quality Spanish iberico ‘charcuterie’ or tasty Scotish smoked salmon with tarama. As with all brunches it comes with:
bread and pastries,
fruit juice,
hot drink,
scones,
It’s really worth the €21 and once again to avoid disappointment you may wish to arrive early or to book a table: 0981292732
Address: rue Brézin, Paris 75014
When: Sundays and bank holidays
L’entrepôt
This is a buffet brunch at €26 or €30 with a glass of champs; The buffet is set up in the bar and you can sit out on the terrace in the summer to enjoy the range and selection of food they offer. You really need to go with an empty stomach to ensure that you’re able to appreciate the gastronomic selection of:
meat,
fish,
vegetables,
desserts, after the croissant and coffee
In a way it’s kind of like buffet lunch, except that you can have some croissants, orange juice and coffee at the start. The outside patio is a great spot, but it’s wise to ring and book the day before.
Address: 7-9 rue Francis de Pressensé, Paris 75014
When: Sundays 11:45-14:45
Cafe du Rendez-vous
Cafe du RDV is confidently located next to the RER station Denfert Rochereau here you can enjoy these:
a smoothie or fruit juice,
pastries and bread,
a hot drink,
yoghurt,
salad,
choice of charcuterie and cheese or smoked salon with eggs,
If you not quite hungry enough for brunch most cafes offer breakfast (juice, hot drink, bread and a croissant) for around 6€-8€.
Remember in Paris it’s cheaper to drink at the bar, a coffee and croissant here would cost around 3€.
If you’re missing the UK then why not try Poppins Cafe on Raymond Losserand as they offer an English breakfast!
Address: 2 avenue General Leclerc, Paris 75014
When: Sundays 11am-4pm
We hope you like any of our recommendations. There are still a couple of places apparently quite good for Brunch as we hear from friends (eg: Café Ruby) but we have not tried them ourselves.
Bonne Appétit!
