The most Germanopratin: Les Deux Magots

Synonymous with artistic and literary life, Les Deux Magots is a real Parisian institution, both a mythical café and an authentic restaurant. And like many cafes, the legendary establishment offers a brunch formula the weekend. At Deux Magots, you will therefore have the choice between two options, the Brunch Saint-Germain (49€) and the Marine Brunch (59 €). 

Both include a hot drink – renewable once – a pressed juice (orange, lemon or grapefruit), the baker’s basket (two pastries and toast, butter, homemade jam and honey), raw vegetables to eat with their white cream with herbs, Comté and Saint-Nectaire cheese as well than a sweet plate of seasonal delicacies.
In the first, you will also be treated to organic scrambled eggs, the quiche of the day, a slice of smoked salmon from Scotland “Petrossian” and charcuterie. A real treat !
As for the Marin brunch, it lives up to its name with its beautiful slices of “Petrossian” Scottish smoked salmon, “Petrossian” salmon eggs and “Petrossian” taramasalata and toast. For those who want to eat light, we recommend this second option… which is nonetheless tasty than the first! Otherwise, you can also order many salads, sandwiches and other fresh dishes from the mythical café à la carte.

The most 'homemade': 46 & 3rd

Basically, Serra and Danielle shared the same passion for brunch. From this obsession was born 46 & 3rd, a coffee shop with a distinct New York spirit, nestled in the rue de Turbigo. The duo at the helm of the establishment has concocted a fine menu of homemade dishes (that changes every season) with well-sourced products. On the program: the best pancakes in Paris – both sweet and savoury! – but also crazy eggs Benedict, a superb belly bun sandwich and other avocado toasts… What's special about the establishment? You can have brunch there all week and opt for the very light formula at 26€ including 1 dish + 1 dessert + 1 juice + coffee of your choice… Moreover, we do not miss to taste their authentic coffee, poured by a Marzocco machine whose founders have carefully selected the beans, of Brazilian origin !

The most chic: at the Plaza Athénée

Exactly 9 months ago, the Plaza Athénée threw a Wellness brunch created by school leaders. Thus, every Saturday, it gives pride of place to healthy foods. We then logically start with a detox water before continuing with a hot drink (organic coffee or infusions) and a fresh fruit juice. The table is then adorned with a selection of special breads - with or without gluten – created by the head baker Guillaume Cabrol, vegetable butter or homemade coconut as well as a seasonal fruit cut by the fruit chef Jorge Ferreira. Good news for cereal lovers, here, cereals are presented in all their forms: Overnight oat, Porridge or Granola. Prepared by the minute on the trolley " Healthy Bowl Workshop », you can customize them as you wish, by choosing your dairy product and toppings. Miam ô fruits or Açaï bowl complete this range of colorful and gourmet bowls. The gourmet getaway continues with a choice of 3 very balanced starters: royal crab (avocado, guacamole, passion fruit and fresh heart of palm), a delicious Poke bowl with salmon, quinoa and Granny Smith or the well-being starter of the day , followed by a high-flying dish (Soft-boiled eggs with artichokes, white omelette with seasonal vegetables, konjac tagliatelle garnished with vegetables or the dish of the day)
Finally, after a few goat cheeses, the Brunch ends with a trio of sweets : the Chia pudding with coconut milk and fruits, a quinoa with rice milk, vegetable cream and tonka bean or a refreshing seasonal granita come to close this gourmet break.
