The Best of Breakfast in Paris
Before setting off to explore the city, start your day with a good breakfast in Paris. You’ll find all types of petit déjeuners, ranging from American-style options with eggs, pancakes, and bacon on the menu to the typical French breakfast of croissants, yogurt, orange juice, and coffee. Here are the Parisian cafés and restaurants we recommend for your morning meal.
What is a Typical French Breakfast in Paris?
French breakfasts are generally very light. They most typically consist of a hot drink (coffee or tea), orange juice, a pastry, and bread (usually a baguette with butter and jam), with yogurt sometimes too. Most classic cafés and French restaurants serve this standard petit déjeuner as a fixed breakfast menu, or formule. The cost varies from place to place and depends on which part of town you’re in, but expect to pay between 8 and 15 euros, depending on where you go.
