© Jamrock - Blondie rue du Bac by Romain Moriceau - Maison Colbert
What could be more blissful than those Sundays that rhyme with sleeping in, where breakfast starts after 12 PM? The most genius invention for these restful days? The holy brunch, which you book, if possible well in advance, in the most beautiful spots of the capital! Take your pick from the new places to test as soon as possible: a devilishly sexy brunch to enjoy all-day-long in an ultra-contemporary coffee shop, a glam version on the terrace of a 4-star hotel, or a traveling feast heading straight to Jamaica. Are you hungry? That’s perfect timing!
Café Clotilde
The setting: In the heart of the Latin Quarter, the Hôtel Maison Colbert is located on a street that bears its name. Quite chic, right? A stone's throw from the banks of the Seine facing Notre-Dame, this superb 16th-century private mansion, formerly the home of Simone de Beauvoir, houses a 5-star hotel member of the Meliá Collection. Its Café Clotilde pays tribute to the wife of painter Joaquín Sorolla, whose luminous universe and characteristic colors are honored in the dining room with a mix of blue velvet, brown wood, and gold accents. The icing on the cake? Its charming tree-lined terrace, where you can now sit every Sunday to savor a highly elegant brunch (€49 or €65 with champagne).
The brunch: You start by choosing your hot drink (cappuccino, matcha latte, teas and infusions Palais des Thés) and fresh fruit juice, including an excellent orange, carrot, and ginger detox juice. Plump pastries accompany them with croissants, brioches, and a Swiss bread roll with chocolate chips (pure madness). Then come the savory dishes, with a choice between a generous crab roll nestled in a long Viennese bread, an avocado toast with or without a poached egg, a bacon or salmon eggs benedict, a beef tartare, or the signature Croissant Clotilde filled with bacon, Comté cheese, honey, and mustard sauce. End on a sweet note with a choice of dessert: fluffy pancakes with red berries and whipped cream, seasonal clafoutis, a lovely plate of seasonal fruits, a French toast, or the frozen fruits from Fruttini by Mo.
The little extra: The pleasant feeling of disconnecting from the Parisian bustle directly from the quiet terrace, in the shade – perfect for heatwaves – and without any car noise. Extremely rare!
Café Clotilde at Maison Colbert Meliá Collection, 7 rue de l'Hôtel Colbert, Paris 5th. Reservation recommended.
Jamrock
The setting: Nestled in the 11th arrondissement, Jamrock stands out as one of the (very) rare Jamaican restaurant addresses in Paris. Although popularized in England and of course in the USA, Caribbean gastronomy took its time to travel to our regions! Jamrock is therefore the opportunity to finally discover the flavors of the paradise island (Jam) also called the "unshakeable rock" (rock). At the origin of the project: Kelly Schaal and Vincent Durupt, two passionate friends, and the French-Jamaican chef Camille Le Breton de la Perrière (ex-Shangri-La Paris, Traiteur Té), accompanied in the kitchen by Jason, a Jamaican expatriate in Paris for a decade. Get your fill of sunshine with a cuisine that elevates street food around beautifully crafted plates, in a chic setting with seventies Jamaican inspirations.
The brunch: On the terrace, in the shade of the chestnut tree, don't be shy. Our recommendation? The Jamrock benedict: English muffin, 2 soft-boiled eggs, crispy bacon with jerk spices, Jamaican pepper hollandaise sauce, red onion pickles served with a crispy hash brown and fresh salad (€16.50). More of a sweet and savory fan? Opt for the full breakfast plate: 2 fried eggs with delicious crispy bacon with jerk spices, accompanied by pan-seared mushrooms, crispy vegetable hash brown, and fried plantain bananas (€18). And to finish beautifully, fall for the fruity plantain pancakes with seasonal fruits, maple syrup, and whipped cream (€12).
The little extra: A veggie option is available for most dishes. Thus, it is possible to replace the crispy bacon with spinach seasoned with jerk spices or with sliced avocado. We love it!
Jamrock, 16 rue de Candie, Paris 11th. Open Monday to Saturday from 12 PM to 2:30 PM and Sunday from 11:30 AM to 3 PM for brunch.
Cassaro’s
The setting: In the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Cassaro’s reinvents brunch with an irresistible Italian accent. Nestled on rue de Buci, the address blends the elegance of a Milanese café with Parisian effervescence, in a warm decor where soft banquettes, dark wood, and cozy lighting meet. Far from standardized brunches, the restaurant claims a generous and authentic cuisine, faithful to traditional recipes, where Italian products are showcased.
The brunch: At Cassaro’s, brunch is experienced Italian style. Every Saturday and Sunday, from 12 PM to 4 PM, the house offers a €41 menu that transforms the traditional late breakfast into a true festive lunch. The meal begins with a choice of hot drink, accompanied by fresh fruit juice and pastries. Then make way for the house essentials: mortadella or Parma ham panino, uovo in purgatorio, or spaghetti alla carbonara prepared in the purest Italian tradition. To finish on a sweet note, it's impossible to resist the Little Italy cookie or the soft-serve Italian ice cream available in vanilla, pistachio, or caramel sundae versions. A generous formula that offers a true gourmet getaway without leaving the 6th arrondissement.
The little extra: The bomboloni, those small soft doughnuts that arrive accompanied by chocolate and caramel sauces for dipping without moderation. A regressive and terribly addictive treat that is worth the detour all by itself.
Cassaro’s, 25 rue de Buci, Paris 6th. Brunch Saturday and Sunday from 12 PM to 4 PM. 01 43 26 02 93.

Blondie
The setting: On Rue du Bac, Blondie stands out as one of those coffee shops that have perfectly captured the spirit of the times. Behind its immaculate facade, the address unfolds a mastered aesthetic, somewhere between Californian minimalism and Parisian elegance. Light wood, sunny terrace, and clean lines: here, everything seems designed to make the weekend last a little longer. At the helm? Tom Abbar and Tanguy Kayser, two long-time friends passionate about specialty coffee, who designed Blondie with one idea in mind: to import to Paris the true coffee shop culture as experienced in New York or Los Angeles. The place keeps this simple philosophy: a well-made coffee, efficient cuisine, and a relaxed atmosphere.
The brunch: At Blondie, brunch fits into the great tradition of American comfort food revisited Parisian style. The menu ticks all the boxes of the moment: perfectly executed avocado toast (€16), an irresistible fried chicken muffin accompanied by beautifully golden potatoes (€18), or generous pancakes served with maple syrup (€13) or blueberries (€14). Savory palates and lovers of lighter options will all find happiness, notably with a homemade granola with Greek yogurt, seasonal fruits, and honey (€6), as well as several vegetarian alternatives depending on the dishes. On the beverage side, the coffee shop clearly makes a difference: ultra-creamy matcha latte, strong cold brew, spicy chai latte, or a perfectly mastered cappuccino.
The little extra: Impossible to leave without tasting the banana-Nutella pancakes, the true guilty pleasure of the house. Soft, generously topped, they play the perfect balance between the melting Nutella and the freshness of the banana. A plate just the way we like it, which you'll definitely be talking about...
Blondie Coffee Shop, 14 rue du bac, Paris 7th. Brunch 7/7 from 12 PM to 2 PM. 01 88 90 12 77.

And also...
Maggie

The setting: Decidedly, between the Mikado club, the rooftop facing the Sacré-Cœur, and the wildly Parisian decor of the rooms, we love everything about the Hôtel Rochechouart! But the novelty we jumped on is obviously the brunch to be found in its restaurant Maggie: an all-you-can-eat buffet (€50) to enjoy your Sunday in a superb room worthy of the most beautiful Parisian brasseries. A perfect deal for large tables – we spotted an XXL family in full feast – as well as small groups looking to calm a hangover before a beautiful Montmartre stroll.
The brunch: Once settled, we first observe the offerings arranged on the tables to think of a strategy to taste everything without bordering on a coma. In the mood for seafood? We hesitate between tuna tataki and an octopus salad. The English breakfast team rushes for the Mc Maggie (egg, cheddar, bacon, and homemade sauce) or the avocado toast accompanied by its poached egg, smoked trout, pickles, and toasted seeds. It remains to pick from the sweet options: açaí bowl, fluffy pancakes, French toast with roasted apricot, or homemade granola, yogurt, and fresh fruits.
The little extra: The possibility to taste delicious fruity smoothies, we hesitate between the Pigalle Boost (orange, carrot, ginger, €8) or the Fantôme de Pigalle (apple, pear, and cinnamon, €8).
Maggie, 55 boulevard Marguerite de Rochechouart, Paris 9th. 01 42 81 99 10. Brunch served every Sunday from 12 PM, last arrival 2:45 PM. Starting late May, brunch served on the rooftop on Saturdays and Sundays. The formula includes a hot drink, a pastry basket, a sweet dish, and a savory dish for €50.

Kinugawa Rive Gauche

The setting: At the top of the Le SAX Paris hotel, LXR Hotels & Resorts in the 7th, Kinugawa recently inaugurated one of the most flamboyant openings of the year. Eiffel Tower view, rooftop open on sunny days, terracotta decor, large tables, and comfortable seating: a refined yet discreet atmosphere reigns here, where all tables can observe each other thanks to clever plays of perspective. It must be said that the beautiful international clientele and Parisian night owls have already made this exceptional setting their new Left Bank H.Q., soon to be joined by all fans of Sunday brunch.
The brunch: Halfway between Japanese tradition and Parisian cuisine, the Kinugawa Sunday Club brings together the best of both worlds with an ultra-generous formula. We start with the fabulous Japanese-inspired buffet where a host of very tempting creations sit, such as maki, sushi, and sashimi, a very fresh sea bream ceviche, a seaweed and cucumber salad, or gyozas and chicken skewers. Then make way for the main course of your choice prepared to order. Among the essentials: the grilled black cod, black tiger prawns, or the wagyu burger with pickles, yuzu kosho, and aioli sauce. On the sweet side, the offerings turn out to be very naughty: we hesitate between frozen mochis, Yuzu meringue tart, melting chocolate biscuit, or the miso caramel and pecan sundae.
The little extra: For those jaded by the matcha latte, a unique menu of cocktails and juices is offered. Our favorite? The Green Reset made with apple, cucumber, spinach, kale, and lemon juice (€10).
Kinugawa Rive Gauche, 55 avenue de Saxe, Paris 7th. Brunch on Sunday from 12:30 PM. Brunch formula with buffet, main course of choice, and hot drink at €90 for adults and €40 for children under 12.
Causier

The setting: Causier settled in the 11th arrondissement as an obvious choice. Right from the entrance, we love this New York workshop atmosphere with raw walls, stainless steel to capture the light, contemporary furniture, and large light blue wooden tables that soften the whole look. Behind a small porthole, the kitchen is bustling while the large mineral bar structures the space. The result: a spot halfway between a sharp coffee shop, an inspiration studio, and a living room where you could spend the entire day brunching, working, or simply hanging out.
The brunch: Here, there's no question of waiting for Sunday to bring out the eggs and bacon. At Causier, brunch can be enjoyed all week long, and that changes everything! We start with an iced matcha latte (€6), twisted with a dash of vanilla, just to get the engine running. Then come the mouth-watering plates: the Classic Breakfast (€20) aligns two eggs, roasted mushrooms and tomatoes, golden potatoes, avocado, salad, and toasted bread, to be upgraded with a bacon supplement for the hungriest. Team sea? The Salmon Eggstra Benedicte (€17) stacks brioche bread, soft-boiled eggs, smoked salmon, hollandaise sauce, creamy spinach, dill, and trout eggs. Pressed but greedy? The breakfast burrito (€15) packs scrambled eggs, melting cheddar, red beans, sweet potato, spinach, corn, and wildly tasty Greek yogurt sauce into an ultra-comforting roll. On the sweet side, it's impossible to resist the banana french toast (€15): golden brioche, whipped mascarpone, caramelized cashew nuts, and melting banana. The kind of plate you dive back into infinitely.
The little extra: The blueberry pancakes (€15) with mascarpone cream and maple syrup, cloudy and generous, which you think about long after the last bite.
Causier, 50 rue de Montreuil, Paris 11th. Open Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM and Saturday to Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM.
maslow temple

The setting: Nestled right in the heart of the Marais, Maslow Temple has established itself as a veggie restaurant address that attracts the whole of Paris. After the success of the first spot on the banks, the trio behind Maslow does it again in a spectacular decor where light steals the show. Under a huge glass roof, red imposes itself as the color of pleasure and pairs with steel, wood, and marble to create a stunning ensemble of volumes. With its dizzying height, you can sit on each floor on high counter-style chairs and admire the monumental chandelier suspended in the center. For a more chill atmosphere, reserve the large American diner-style banquettes, perfect for activating chill mode, while the XXL terrace patiently awaits the return of sunny days.
The brunch: Maslow Temple has succeeded in creating a brunch that completely makes us forget its veggie D.A. We start smoothly with a hot drink like a smooth latte, before tackling deviled eggs with spicy mayo, garlic, and shallots, and the totally addictive brioche with miso mushrooms, Comté sauce, and chives. Then we melt for the gnocchi with cacio sauce, Tomme du Béarn, and black pepper to dive back into childhood, before falling for the grilled zucchini followed by ginger pickle and peanut, coriander, coconut & peanut sauce. And to finish on a sweet touch, it's impossible to resist the hazelnut praline rocher and its melting praline center, crushed hazelnuts, and milk chocolate.
The little extra: If you have a hangover, order the bissap right away, perfectly refreshing for the arrival of warm days.
Maslow Temple, 32 Rue de Picardie, Paris 3rd. Brunch served every Sunday from 11:15 AM to 4 PM. Brunch formula at €32 per person, and €39 with a cocktail. Reservation on sevenrooms.com

Café Marlette
The setting: And that makes two for Café Marlette! The spot for brunch lovers has opened its second Parisian address a few meters above its rue des Martyrs location. Nestled in the heart of Abbesses, a stone's throw from the Sacré-Cœur, the place reflects the neighborhood in which the café packed its bags: warm and harboring just as many tourists as regulars. To have breakfast on the wooden tables on the terrace, brunch in a convivial way in the 5-seat alcove like a holiday cabin, or get a caffeinated pick-me-me-up in the middle of the day in a woody decor, this new spot satisfies all our obsessions.
The brunch: At Marlette, not too much eccentricity but a brunch to be enjoyed every day, with well-executed classics, featuring a cuisine that varies with the rhythm of the seasons thanks to quality products. The flagship Sunday meal begins with a choice of hot drink (cappuccino, latte, hot chocolate...) accompanied by the essential bread basket, semi-salted butter, jam, and a cold drink. Then comes the heart of the brunch where the choice gets tough between an avocado muffin to twist according to your desires – soft-boiled egg, bacon, feta, marinated tomatoes, smoked salmon – a super cheesy ham-Comté sandwich, an indecent bacon-egg-cheddar bun, or THE sweet-savory combo of bacon and soft-boiled egg pancakes. For sweet tooths who cannot finish a meal without a sugary note: we recommend the homemade granola to finish this feast beautifully.
The little extra: The range of pancake or crêpe mixes for sale next to the counter, to take home after brunch to prolong the pleasure at home starting next weekend.
Café Marlette, 45 rue des Abbesses, Paris 18th. Back-to-school brunch at €29.90. Open every day from 8 AM to 6:30 PM, weekends from 9:30 AM.
Pierre Hermé

The setting: This is THE news of the year for sweet tooths: the famous Pierre Hermé is launching his Sunday brunch for the first time, around an ultra-gourmet €65 formula that marks small and big occasions. A birthday to celebrate, a date to impress, or a Mother's Day gift: the house brunch is an unforgettable experience to offer to your loved ones. On the agenda? A well-orchestrated five-course brunch in the Beaupassage restaurant-boutique on the rue de Grenelle side. Enough to play Carrie Bradshaw with a mimosa around juicy gossip.
The brunch: Welcomed with a choice of hot and cold drink from a wide selection (coffees, teas, but also an addictive caramel latte and a Viennese hot chocolate...), the tasting begins with thin baguette slices to pump up with La Viette butter and Ispahan or apricot jams (also yum: flower honey and hazelnut praline spread) and a couture pastry like an Ispahan croissant or a pistachio chocolate pastry. Then, choose between fluffy pancakes or a homemade granola (plain or chocolate). For the main course, opt for eggs Benedict, soft-boiled with soldiers, fried, scrambled plain or with bacon, omelet... Without forgetting, of course, the revised brunch classics: an avocado toast with confit egg yolk and pistachio vinaigrette, a savory salmon waffle, a croque-monsieur, and many other delicacies. To finish beautifully, enjoy a signature pastry or three macarons.
The little extra: The possibility of being seated on the terrace to double the pleasure!
Pierre Hermé Beaupassage, 53-57 rue de Grenelle, Paris 7th. 01 82 73 27 21. Brunch served every Sunday in two services at 11:30 AM and 2 PM. €65 per person, €25 for children. Reservation essential on The Fork or directly at Café Pierre Hermé Paris in Beaupassage.
Dar Mima

The setting: This restaurant designed by Jamel Debbouze and Laurent de Gourcuff, perched at the very top of the magnificent Arab World Institute, is a secret Eden that enchants from the moment you step into it. A true oasis with the look of a Mediterranean paradise unfolds before our amazed eyes, with this decor imbued with light, in bright orange colors. In this garden suspended between sky and earth, palms, jasmine, and lemon trees spring up on a rooftop with a breathtaking view of Paris. A very exotic and elegant vibe, which already gives us the feeling of being on a sunny vacation.
The brunch: The menu now offers a brand new oriental brunch that would be unthinkable to resist on these sunny Sundays. On the menu, we start by ordering an oriental basket (€20) with sun-drenched condiments to spread on pita bread... with pastries to boot. As indulgence seems to be the watchword here, we feast on Moroccan eggs and confit vegetables (€22) or Mediterranean-style bacon & eggs with a super crispy veal breast on perfectly scrambled eggs (€17)! The essential of any brunch: toasts! Here, a crush on the trout and labneh ones (€26). We finish on a sweet note with the famous thousand-hole pancakes topped with fresh fruit: a delight. Would you like a drink? To refresh yourself, detox fruit and vegetable juices or enchanting and well-scented mocktails (€12) and cocktails (€18-20) are an absolute must-sip.
The little extra: Take the opportunity to go on a small cultural and digestive trip by visiting the always fascinating exhibitions of the Arab World Institute.
Dar Mima, Institut du Monde Arabe, 1 rue des Fossés Saint-Bernard, Paris 5th. 01 85 14 79 25. Open Tuesday to Sunday, brunch from 12 PM to 3:30 PM.
