In the mood for a bit of country without leaving the capital?  C.O.Q Hotel offers a simultaneously modern yet country-side feel, tucked away in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.  At C.O.Q., brunch is 100% Made in France: fresh fruit juice, Poilane bread with A. Milliat jams, muesli and organic fromage blanc, charcuterie plates with AOP-grade cheeses, vegan quiches to accompany salads, seasonal fruit, pastries, muffins, and divine pancakes.  What’s more is the fresh eggs, laid the day-of by Philomène and Ginette, the establishment’s resident hens.  Be sure to say goodbye to them as you leave!

Located in the Square Hotel, Zebra offers a pleasant setting for a very chic brunch.  What’s on the menu?  Bagels with Petrossian smoked salmon, burgers d’Aubrac, and Caesar salads.  On the sweet side, it’s hard to choose between brioche French toast or pancakes.  And to finish on a lighter note: fruit salad or fat-free cheese with honey.

An idyllic setting in both winter and summer, with a choice of indoor or outdoor seating that will satisfy everyone, Ralph’s offers a traditional American brunch for €65.  For starters, a basket of pastries, with special mention to the lemon and poppy seed cake which alone is worth a visit.  Then, it’s onto the main course: scrambled eggs with either salmon, bacon, or cheddar, or eggs Benedict.  Finally for dessert, a choice between caramelized banana French toast for the big appetites or succulent red fruit granola with extra large blackberries for the others. And to top it all off, Ralph’s infamous caramelized popcorn, to be enjoyed with a coffee.  Ralph’s brings brunch à la Uncle Sam to the heart of Paris.
