The Definitive Guide to Healthy Breakfast and Brunch in Paris
If you spend more than a few days in Paris, there will come a moment when the classic French breakfast of an espresso and a croissant just won’t cut it. Sometimes you need something more nourishing, protein-packed, plant-based, vitamin-rich, or gluten-free. Consider this your guide to the best healthy breakfast and brunch spots in Paris to fuel up before a day out on the town.
Organic & Superfood
With two locations in the trendiest Parisian neighborhoods, Season café offers fresh, high-quality, and (spoiler alert!) seasonal takes on breakfast favorites. It’s September in Paris, so that means we’re ordering fig pancakes and the fig granola bowl.
2. Aura Juice
Location: 26 Rue Chapon, 75003 Paris
Walking distance from the gorgeous Place de Vosges, Aura Juice is your one-stop-shop for a big dose of vitamins. Choose from an array of antioxidant-rich smoothies, raw cacao shakes, high-plant-protein bowls, a full matcha bar, and their beloved overnight chia oats.
3. Eggs&Co
Location: 11 Rue Bernard Palissy, 75006 Paris
For a cozy, protein-packed breakfast before a stroll in the Luxembourg Gardens, Eggs&Co is unbeatable. Nestled in a charming, wood-beamed space, this intimate café serves up some of the best eggs benedict in the Latin Quarter.
Vegan & Plant-Based
4. Wild & The Moon
With multiple locations across la Rive Droite, Wild & the Moon was the first to bring açai bowl to Paris. Grab a healthy breakfast and then head to on of our favorite expat-approved fitness studios. All the goodness with zero guilt!
5. Aujourd'hui Demain
Location: 42 Rue du Chemin Vert, 75011 Paris
Tucked away on a cute little street in the 11th, this is the go-to vegan brunch spot for locals. The shakshuka here is a must. Plus, check out the quaint urban park around the corner overlooking the Eglise St. Ambroise.
6. Ground to Grow
Location: 28 Rue Chapon, 75003 Paris
In the heart of the Marais, this vegan café doubles as a yoga studio. Their seasonal Buddha bowls are fresh and flavorful, and on weekends the brunch formule is 29€. Pop in for yoga, meditation, and brunch for a perfectly mindful start to the day.
7. Comptoir Veggie
Location: 75 Av. Ledru Rollin, 75012 Paris
As much as we want to, we won’t gatekeep this 100% organic, vegan, and homemade café and coffee shop. Order the tofu scramble, and then pop over to Rue de Charonne — a street known mostly to locals for shopping à la parisienne.
Gluten-Free
8. Café Mareva
Location: 27 Rue de Clignancourt, 75018 Paris
If you haven’t seen the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur yet, consider this your sign. Kick off a dreamy day in Montmartre with Mareva’s classic breakfast favorites made gluten and dairy-free. We love the savory sweet-potato waffles.
9. Judy
This 100% gluten-free spot was curated and imagined by a naturopath, serving up only homemade dishes made from organic, locally sourced ingredients. We love their coconut yogurt bowl with homemade granola. Good food and good vibes.
10. Love Juice Bar
Location: 176 Rue de Grenelle, 75007 Paris
Within strolling distance from the Eiffel Tower, we love that Love Juice Bar is both gluten-free & refined sugar-free. See the most iconic monument in Paris, and grab an energizing green juice all in the same morning.
Next time you wake up in Paris and craving something light yet satisfying, skip the croissant line and try one of these healthy breakfast and brunch spots instead. Fuel up before your luxury Parisian workout class, or another favorite form of wellness — shopping in Paris.
