From the Ritz to the Peninsula, from Le Meurice to the Shangri-La: our selection of the finest luxury brunches in Paris, curated by the greatest pastry chefs. Venues, atmospheres, and the art of securing the best table with AC Private.
In Paris, Sunday brunch has become an art of living in its own right. In the capital's palaces, it transforms into a gastronomic ritual orchestrated by the greatest pastry chefs. Here is our selection of exceptional addresses — and the art of securing a table without ever worrying about the reservation.
The palace brunch, a new stage for Parisian gastronomy
Long considered a simple in-between breakfast and lunch, the luxury brunch in Paris has established itself as a complete culinary experience. Exceptional buffets, table service in historic salons, glass-roofed halls bathed in light: Parisian palaces have turned Sunday into a moment of haute gastronomy, where signature pastry often takes centre stage.
Booking one of these tables can be a daunting task — the finest addresses are fully booked weeks in advance. This is precisely where a private concierge comes in: guaranteeing access, the best table and perfect timing.
