Brunch

Dersou

Created by a Japanese chef and a top bartender, it's the perfect place for a Sunday brunch. Not only because its got a good feel to it, with its unworked wood and stonework. But also because its got some classics like the 'avocado toast' with poached egg, feta, radishes, and a tip top presentation and amazing pancakes with fruit & honey or Griddle toast with tomatoes, mozzarella, bacon, asparagus & fried egg. The hardest thing you'll have to do all morning is pick something off the menu.
No reservations are accepted, so arrive at a reasonable hour or be prepared to sit at the bar.

Eggs&co

With a cheerfully bright and tiny, wood-beamed dining room—there's more space in the loftlike upstairs—This spot is devoted to eggs. Whether you like yours fried with smoked salmon, whisked into an omelet with truffle shavings, or beaten into fluffy pancakes, there will be something for you on the blackboard menu. It's perfect for a late breakfast or light lunch on weekdays , though rather mobbed for weekend brunch. Plan for a short wait at the door during weekend brunch and try to get a table in the upstairs “chicken coop!”

Holybelly

This is now the most popular new breakfast destination in Paris. The narrow area at the front gives way to a sober and elegant back room, dominated by a big leather sofa and a pinball machine. The management are a young couple fresh from Vancouver, intent on spreading some Canadian bonhomie through their hip little venue. On the menu, there are things like fig and caramelised hazelnut pancakes with whipped cream and maple syrup (€11.50), pancakes with fried eggs and bacon, home made granola, grilled and caramelised with fresh fruit and a jug of milk. There are also tempting savoury dishes like poached eggs with bacon, black pudding or Brebis cheese (€11.50). Coffee comes from a new local roaster in Belleville, and goes brilliantly with one of their freshly-baked, soft and chewy daily cookie specials. Getting a table will often require a wait, even a long one, since they don’t take reservations.

Le Loir dans la Théiere

Le Loir is named after the unfortunate dormouse who gets dunked in the pot at the Mad Hatter's tea party in Alice In Wonderland. Its squishy sofas are the perfect complement to its comfort food: it specialises in baked goods, and the famed lemon meringue and chocolate fondant are divine. At weekends it's packed out with tourists in search of brunch; long queues of people looking enviously at your plate. Come early (before noon) or be prepared to queue, it is worth it!

Address: 3 rue des Rosiers, 4e, Paris

Price18.50 €
Opening hours: 10am-7.30pm Monday-Friday; 9am-7.30pm Saturday & Sunday

Mg Road

This replica of Mumbai cafe is not your typical indian restaurant. The kitchen gives a modern take on traditional recipes without loosing any of the flavours. Sunday brunch is no exception to the rule with dishes like scrambled eggs masala with peas and paneer cake, "Dohkla sponge cake sandwich", a Guajarati street food special, curry chicken with almond rice... You might feel thirsty after that spicy feast: get a Masala chaï, a fresh fruit juice or the almond and soy smoothies.
