Season
1 Rue Charles-François Dupuis, 75003 Paris
This organic café has picked its location perfectly. The upscale, health-conscious hipsters of the Marais love it. Season is known for its delicious food and large selection of drinks, including pressed juices and matcha green tea amongst fine coffee. It’s the perfect place to go for a Sunday brunch but be prepared to wait for 15-20 mins for a table if you don’t arrive early. We recommend the smoked salmon with poached eggs and avocado.
