What could be more enjoyable than those lazy Sundays when breakfast starts after noon? The greatest invention for these leisurely days? The holy brunch, ideally booked well in advance at some of the capital’s finest addresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among the latest brunches worth discovering are a devilishly indulgent all-day brunch served in an ultra-contemporary coffee shop, a glamorous experience on the terrace of a four-star hotel, and even a globe-trotting feast inspired by Jamaica. Hungry? Perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the heart of the Latin Quarter, H\u00f4tel Maison Colbert occupies a street that bears its name\u2014a rather elegant distinction. Just steps from the Seine and facing Notre-Dame, this magnificent 16th-century townhouse, once home to Simone de Beauvoir, now houses a five-star property belonging to the Meli\u00e1 Collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its Caf\u00e9 Clotilde pays tribute to the wife of painter Joaqu\u00edn Sorolla, whose luminous world and signature colour palette are reflected throughout the dining room, with touches of blue velvet, dark wood and gold accents. The icing on the cake? A charming tree-lined terrace where guests can now enjoy an elegant Sunday brunch (\u20ac49 or \u20ac65 with Champagne).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guests begin by choosing a hot drink\u2014cappuccino, matcha latte, tea or herbal infusions from Palais des Th\u00e9s\u2014alongside a freshly pressed juice, including an excellent orange, carrot and ginger detox blend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Generous pastries follow: croissants, brioche and an irresistible Swiss-style chocolate roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the savoury course, options include a generous crab roll served in soft brioche bread, avocado toast with or without a poached egg, eggs Benedict with bacon or salmon, beef tartare, or the signature Croissant Clotilde filled with bacon, Comt\u00e9 cheese and a honey-mustard sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dessert choices range from fluffy pancakes with berries and whipped cream to seasonal clafoutis, fresh fruit, French toast or Fruttini by Mo’s famous frozen fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The terrace offers a rare sensation in Paris: complete tranquillity. Shaded, peaceful and entirely free from traffic noise, it’s the perfect escape during the hottest summer days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Located in Paris’s 11th arrondissement, Jamrock is one of the very few restaurants dedicated to Jamaican cuisine in the city. While Caribbean food has long been popular in the UK and United States, it has only recently begun gaining visibility in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Founded by childhood friends Kelly Schaal and Vincent Durupt, Jamrock celebrates the flavours of Jamaica through refined street food-inspired dishes served in a stylish setting influenced by 1970s Jamaican culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The recommendation? The Jamrock Benedict: an English muffin topped with soft-boiled eggs, crispy jerk-spiced bacon, allspice hollandaise sauce, pickled red onions, hash browns and a fresh salad (\u20ac16.50).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those who enjoy sweet-and-savory combinations can opt for the Full Breakfast Plate, featuring fried eggs, jerk bacon, saut\u00e9ed mushrooms, crispy vegetable hash browns and fried plantains (\u20ac18).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For dessert, the plantain pancakes served with seasonal fruit, maple syrup and whipped cream (\u20ac12) are hard to resist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most dishes are available in vegetarian versions, with the jerk bacon replaced by seasoned spinach or sliced avocado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s, Cassaro’s reinvents brunch with a distinctly Italian flair. Located on Rue de Buci, the restaurant combines Milanese caf\u00e9 elegance with Parisian energy, offering plush banquettes, dark wood interiors and intimate lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every Saturday and Sunday from noon until 4pm, Cassaro’s serves a \u20ac41 brunch that transforms breakfast into a celebratory Italian lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After pastries, juice and a hot drink, guests can enjoy house specialties such as mortadella or Parma ham panini, uovo in purgatorio and spaghetti alla carbonara prepared according to traditional Italian recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For dessert, there’s the Little Italy cookie or soft-serve gelato in vanilla, pistachio or caramel sundae varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bomboloni are worth the visit alone: soft Italian doughnuts served with chocolate and caramel dipping sauces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Rue du Bac, Blondie perfectly captures the spirit of today’s coffee-shop culture. Behind its immaculate fa\u00e7ade lies a space that blends Californian minimalism with Parisian sophistication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Founded by longtime friends Tom Abbar and Tanguy Kayser, Blondie was created to bring authentic New York and Los Angeles coffee-shop culture to Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highlights include avocado toast (\u20ac16), a fried chicken muffin served with perfectly crispy potatoes (\u20ac18), and fluffy pancakes with maple syrup (\u20ac13) or blueberries (\u20ac14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lighter options include homemade granola with Greek yogurt, seasonal fruit and honey (\u20ac6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coffee lovers will appreciate the expertly crafted drinks, from creamy matcha lattes to cold brews, chai lattes and cappuccinos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t leave without trying the banana-Nutella pancakes, one of the caf\u00e9’s most popular treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At H\u00f4tel Rochechouart, everything is worth experiencing\u2014from the rooftop views of Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur to the stylish rooms and the Mikado Club. But the latest highlight is brunch at Maggie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every Sunday, guests can enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet (\u20ac50) in a dining room reminiscent of Paris’s finest brasseries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seafood lovers can choose between tuna tataki and octopus salad. Fans of hearty breakfasts gravitate toward the Mc Maggie\u2014egg, cheddar, bacon and house sauce\u2014or avocado toast with poached egg, smoked trout and toasted seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sweet options include a\u00e7ai bowls, fluffy pancakes, French toast with roasted apricots and homemade granola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fresh smoothies such as the Pigalle Boost (orange, carrot and ginger) or the Fant\u00f4me de Pigalle (apple, pear and cinnamon) complete the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nestled in the heart of Le Marais, Maslow Temple has quickly become one of Paris’s most talked-about vegetarian destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the success of its original riverside location, the team behind Maslow has created a spectacular new restaurant where architecture takes centre stage. Beneath an enormous glass roof, shades of red mingle with steel, wood and marble to create a breathtaking space filled with natural light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guests can sit across several levels on high counter-style seating while admiring the monumental chandelier suspended above. For a more relaxed atmosphere, large diner-style banquettes invite long, leisurely meals, while the expansive terrace awaits sunny days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maslow Temple has created a brunch so satisfying that you almost forget it’s entirely vegetarian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The meal begins with a hot drink before moving on to devilled eggs with spicy mayonnaise, garlic and shallots, followed by brioche topped with miso mushrooms, Comt\u00e9 cheese sauce and chives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next come gnocchi with cacio sauce, B\u00e9arn sheep’s cheese and black pepper, followed by grilled zucchini served with pickled ginger, peanuts, coriander and a coconut-peanut sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dessert is equally memorable: a hazelnut praline rocher with a molten praline centre, crushed hazelnuts and milk chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For anyone recovering from a long night out, the bissap is the ultimate refreshment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maslow Temple serves brunch every Sunday from 11:15am to 4pm. The brunch menu is priced at \u20ac32, or \u20ac39 including a cocktail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
