Brunch

Taking time for brunch brings the pleasures of breakfast and lunch to the same table. Sezame opens the doors of beautiful hotels for a dining experience without an overnight stay. A sweet and savoury buffet, a meal served at the table, a terrace or a spa break: choose according to your destination, budget and companions. This selection introduces hotels in Paris, Anglet and Nice, with their inclusions and prices to help you plan your outing.

For a more specific occasion, explore our luxury brunches in Paris, our brunch for two experiences or our spa brunch experiences. Each collection focuses on a particular way to enjoy this meal. Here, compare formats and destinations to find the moment that suits you.

Which brunch suits your plans?

A buffet or a meal served at the table

Brunch offers several ways to enjoy a meal: start with a pastry, move on to something savoury, then return to a sweet treat. The word combines breakfast and lunch. At a hotel restaurant, the meal depends on the experience you book: there is no single menu that every address has to provide.

An unlimited buffet lets each guest choose from the dishes available and put together their own plate. Check whether the experience includes hot dishes, desserts and drinks, or just part of the buffet. A generous counter does not mean every drink from the bar is included.

A meal served at the table has a different pace: a chosen dish, something sweet and the advertised drinks arrive according to the menu. Some experiences combine both formats, with a dish and a buffet. Compare the listed inclusions rather than relying on the word brunch alone.

Sunday brunch, time together or a family meal

Sunday lends itself to a leisurely meal that extends the morning and leaves time to catch up. Opening days vary by restaurant, however: not every brunch is available on both Saturdays and Sundays. The time slot on the listing is your reference when planning the weekend.

For two people, choose an atmosphere that suits your plans: a bright room, a patio, live music or a quieter table. A birthday with friends also calls for checking participant numbers and availability at the same time. Booking for several guests does not make the venue private.

For a family outing, read the age ranges for children's prices and what their meal includes. A buffet can let everyone choose according to their tastes, but admission conditions differ between hotels. Discuss any particular requirements before confirming so you can plan the visit comfortably.

Brunch on its own or a spa break

Brunch on its own puts food and conversation at the centre of the outing. Enjoy the restaurant without planning a hotel stay: another way to experience the setting, over a meal. The time you spend there depends on the service and opening hours you choose.

A brunch and spa experience adds a separate part to the day. A pool, sauna, steam room or massage is included only when the listing says so. A hotel having wellness facilities does not automatically grant access with a restaurant booking.

Check the order of activities and the length of each one too. Your booked time may refer to the spa, while brunch runs during a different service window. Shared access welcomes other guests; exclusive use must be explicitly stated if you want a space reserved only for you.

Where to brunch: our experiences in Paris and across France

Kube Paris: Italian flavours on a Sunday

Dolce Mattina Brunch — Price: €35 per person.

In Paris's 18th arrondissement, at 1 Passage Ruelle, Kube Paris offers an Italian-inspired brunch. The listing describes a friendly, relaxed atmosphere: an address for getting together around a table on Sunday. The menu can be viewed among the experience's photos.

The advertised service runs from noon to 2pm on Sundays only. Read the menu before choosing to understand the dishes in this experience, without assuming that it is an unlimited buffet. This visit focuses on the meal; no spa access appears in the inclusions consulted.

Consider this address if you would like a different culinary inspiration in Paris. When planning lunch with friends, check the number of places available on your date rather than judging the restaurant's capacity from its photos.

Tribe Paris Batignolles: a buffet and a welcoming patio

Tasty Brunch — Price: €35 per person.

On Rue Cardinet, in the 17th arrondissement, Tribe Paris Batignolles combines a savoury or sweet dish with a buffet of fresh, homemade food. Brunch is served on Sundays from noon to 3pm in a contemporary patio setting. In summer, guests can also enjoy the garden, depending on the venue's arrangements.

The selection lists charcuterie, AOP cheeses, scrambled eggs, grilled coppa, homemade cakes, granola and pastries. Drinks include speciality coffee, fresh juices and teas. This variety lets you choose a plate to suit your mood, without preparing the recipes at home.

The listing offers free brunch for children under three and a €17 price for children aged three to twelve. Check these terms when booking a family visit. The restaurant also welcomes outings with friends and time on your own.

Renaissance Arc de Triomphe: Mediterranean food and music

Gourmet Mediterranean Brunch — Price: €59 per person.

At Solis restaurant on Avenue de Wagram, in the 17th arrondissement, brunch takes its inspiration from the Mediterranean. Unlimited hot and cold buffets, artisan breads, pastries and homemade desserts make up the meal. The spacious, bright setting, with a terrace, accompanies the dining experience.

The experience includes unlimited drinks such as coffee, tea and juice, plus a glass of wine, champagne, beer or a soft drink of your choice. Live music is part of the advertised experience. Check the programme for your chosen time to understand how the visit will run.

This address suits an appetite for a buffet and a lively atmosphere. If your priority is quiet conversation, take the music into account when choosing. One included glass does not mean the entire drinks menu is covered.

Hôtel ESTÉ: brunch and a pool for two

Brunch & Spa — Price: €135 for two people.

On Boulevard de Strasbourg, in Paris's 10th arrondissement, Hôtel ESTÉ pairs a sweet and savoury buffet with unlimited hot drinks. The experience also includes 45 minutes of spa access, with a pool, sauna and steam room. It brings a dining moment and a wellness break together in the same day.

The spa is shared, with a limited number of admissions. Brunch runs from 12:30pm to 3:30pm, and the booked time refers to spa access. For the 3pm slot, the listing says you can arrive from 12:30pm to enjoy your meal beforehand.

Compare the inclusions and any extras before booking. The advertised price covers two people; it is not an individual rate. Access to the facilities does not include a massage in this experience.

Maison Chiberta: Sunday brunch over the embers in Anglet

Comforting Sunday: Brunch & Spa — Price: €65 per person.

On the Basque coast, at 104 Boulevard des Plages in Anglet, Maison Chiberta serves its Sunday Abrazo brunch. Cooking over embers, grilled food and seasonal ingredients give the meal its character. Service takes place indoors or outside depending on the season.

The experience then includes access to the heat facilities: a sauna and steam room. Pool access is not part of the inclusions. That distinction matters if swimming is a priority for your outing.

The reserved time refers to brunch; the wellness break follows the meal. Check the opening hours and access duration when choosing. This address offers a change of scene beyond Paris, with a different culinary approach from the city buffets in this selection.

Anantara Plaza Nice: panoramic brunch and a treatment

Spa & Panoramic Brunch — Price: €250 per person.

In Nice, this Sunday experience brings together several moments: 60 minutes in the sauna and steam room, then a 45-minute relaxing massage or Elemis facial. Brunch takes place at the SEEN by Olivier rooftop. The view accompanies food with Mediterranean and Asian influences.

The listing mentions fresh fish, sushi, oysters, a mozzarella bar, cheeses and a dessert buffet, with live music. Champagne is not included in the brunch presented. Check the optional extras if you would like to add a drink.

Consider this experience for a day when the treatment matters as much as the meal. Allow enough time for each part and confirm the arrangements with the hotel. The advertised treatment and wellness access distinguish it from brunch alone.

How to compare brunch prices and inclusions

Check the price per person and any extras

In this selection, brunch on its own at Kube Paris and Tribe Batignolles is listed at €35 per person. Renaissance Arc de Triomphe costs €59 per person, with the buffet and drinks specified. Experiences including a spa visit or treatment should be compared on all their inclusions.

Start with the pricing unit: €135 for two at Hôtel ESTÉ does not mean €135 per guest. Then add the options you actually want to book. The prices consulted may change; the amount shown when you book is the reference.

Look at the food and drinks included

Brunch can bring together eggs, cheeses, fresh fruit, pastries and desserts, depending on the menu. If you particularly want pancakes, avocado toast or smoked salmon, read the menu of the address you are considering. These preferences do not guarantee that a dish appears in every experience.

Coffee, juice and hot chocolate also deserve attention: drinks may be unlimited, restricted to a specified amount or available at an additional cost. Check the details rather than assuming brunch includes the entire menu. Ingredients and preparations may change with the seasons.

Choose the setting and discuss dietary requirements

A patio, terrace, rooftop or restaurant dining room gives each meal a different feel. Look at the photos and practical information to choose according to your tastes, the journey and the weather if you hope to eat outside. An advertised terrace does not guarantee an outdoor table.

For a vegetarian diet, an allergy or a gluten-free requirement, contact the restaurant before confirming. A varied buffet does not guarantee an adaptation or the absence of traces of an ingredient. The hotel's team can explain what is possible for your visit.

For a group, check that everyone can book the same time and that the participant number is accepted. For brunch with a spa visit, bring suitable clothes for the restaurant and read the wellness area's instructions. Accessories provided differ between hotels.

Give a dining experience

The six featured experiences have a gifting option. Choose according to the recipient's destination, food preferences and the time they want to spend on the outing. Brunch alone and an experience with a treatment offer different programmes.

Before purchasing, read the gift terms and the number of people covered. To give an outing for two when the price is individual, check that you have selected two participants. Sezame helps you choose a specific moment to share, with clearly identified inclusions.
