We pulled together the ten luxury brunches worth building your Sunday around, from Place Vendôme institutions to hidden Golden Triangle terraces. Book ahead. These fill fast.
1. Ritz Paris - Le Grand Brunch
For Parisians, Sunday at the Ritz is not optional, it is tradition. Le Grand Brunch unfolds in the hotel's salons at 15 Place Vendôme, part performance and part feast, as chefs work a spectacular buffet that marries French produce with global technique, all set to live piano. It remains the city's most celebrated brunch fixture for a reason.
Where: 15 Place Vendôme, 1st arrondissement When: Sundays, 11:45am to 2:30pm Why go: The definitive Parisian brunch institution, and the benchmark every other address on this list is measured against.
2. Bvlgari Hôtel Paris - Il Ristorante Niko Romito
Chef Niko Romito brings Michelin-level Italian precision to Sunday, served across Il Ristorante and the Bvlgari Bar in the heart of the Golden Triangle. Expect crudo, hand-cut pasta, langoustine risotto and a dessert table built around tiramisu and pavlova, plus a hidden terrace and complimentary oysters served tableside partway through the meal.
Where: 30 Avenue George V, 8th arrondissement When: Sundays, 12:30pm to 3pm Why go: The most refined Italian brunch in Paris, in one of the city's most design-forward palaces.
3. Le Brach Paris - Sunday Brunch
Philippe Starck designed every inch of this five-star address near La Muette, and the Sunday brunch matches the ambition, a generous, sun-drenched Mediterranean spread that has quietly made Le Brach one of the best Sunday tables in the 16th arrondissement.
Where: 1-7 Rue Jean Richepin, 16th arrondissement When: Sundays, 12pm to 4pm (last seating 3pm) Why go: The most design-driven brunch room in Paris, with a Mediterranean menu built for lingering.
4. Grand Powers - Café 52
Wellness is not an add-on here, it is the entire premise. Chef Maxime Raab's seasonal, organic menu (think salmon and goji berry poke bowls, minute-cooked eggs, market mezze) pairs with a glass of organic champagne, and the brunch doubles as a gateway to the hotel's Thala Spa for guests who want to extend the ritual into the afternoon.
Where: 52 Rue François 1er, 8th arrondissement When: Sundays from 12:30pm Why go: The healthiest luxury brunch in the city, with spa access to match.
5. Le Grand Mazarin - Boubalé
Designer Martin Brudnizki brought Mediterranean and Eastern European café culture into the heart of the Marais, and Boubalé's brunch menu follows the same map, a shared starter, a French bakery selection, then plates that move from the Levant to Eastern Europe. The winter garden and terrace are the two best-kept secrets in the neighbourhood.
Where: 6 Rue des Archives, 4th arrondissement When: Sundays, 12pm to 3pm Why go: The best value on this list, without any compromise on room or produce.
6. Hôtel Bel Ami - Les Mots Passants
A literary, book-lined restaurant in the middle of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, where the buffet leans generous rather than precious, artisan bread, fine charcuterie, seafood, eggs cooked to order, and a virgin mojito bar that has become something of a signature.
Where: 7/11 Rue Saint-Benoît, 6th arrondissement When: Sundays, 12pm to 2pm Why go: The most balanced brunch on the Left Bank, generous without losing refinement.
7. Maison Delano Paris - Delano Café
A Mediterranean-inflected room bathed in natural light, tucked inside the 8th arrondissement's newest design hotel. The menu leans seasonal and the setting leans bright, making it one of the more photogenic additions to the city's brunch scene.
Where: 4 Rue d'Anjou, 8th arrondissement When: Sundays, 12pm to 3:30pm Why go: The newest name on this list, and already one of the prettiest rooms to brunch in.
8. Ladurée Champs-Élysées
Inside Paris's most romantic tea salon, florals and all, Ladurée's Sunday brunch turns the macaron house's signature elegance into a full midday menu. It is the most classically Parisian setting on this list, and remains a magnet for visitors and locals in equal measure.
Where: 75 Avenue des Champs-Élysées, 8th arrondissement When: Sundays Why go: For the full, unapologetically romantic Paris fantasy, pastries included.
9. Ralph's at Ralph Lauren
Set inside a 17th-century hôtel particulier on the Left Bank, Ralph's serves a fully American menu, mini lobster rolls, Waldorf salad, eggs Benedict, Ralph Lauren's own favourite brownie, inside one of the most atmospheric wood-panelled dining rooms in the city. Fifteen years in, it remains a Left Bank institution.
Where: 173 Boulevard Saint-Germain, 6th arrondissement When: Sundays Why go: The only place in Paris to brunch inside a piece of American design history.
10. Hôtel Particulier Montmartre - Le Très Particulier
Sometimes called the French Château Marmont, this five-suite boutique hotel hides the largest private garden of any hotel in Paris. Brunch Particulier runs on weekends and holidays, fluffy pancakes and eggs Benedict included, with a velvet-lined cocktail bar waiting for those who want to turn brunch into the whole afternoon.
Where: 23 Avenue Junot, 18th arrondissement When: Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays Why go: The most secluded, garden-set brunch in the city, away from the crowds of central Paris.
