Paris is famous for buttery croissants and elegant pastries, but sometimes nothing beats a proper fry-up. Whether you are homesick, recovering from a big night after the rugby, or just fancy bacon and eggs instead of a pain au chocolat, here's where to get a full English breakfast in Paris, plus a few spots where you can build your own.
Where to Get a Full English Breakfast in Paris
The Bombardier (Latin Quarter)
Where: 2 Place du Panthéon, 5th arrondissement. Metro: Cardinal Lemoine.
For British travelers, The Bombardier is a home away from home, with British beer on tap, live sports, and pub quizzes, right next to the Panthéon. Its weekend full English comes with all the trimmings: sausages, bacon, eggs, beans, hash browns, black pudding, mushrooms, tomatoes, and toast. And yes, there's brown sauce.
Good to know: The breakfast is usually served at weekends from late morning, so check the times before you go.
L'Entente (2nd arrondissement)
Where: 13 Rue Monsigny, 2nd arrondissement. Metro: Quatre-Septembre.
L'Entente is a British brasserie that brings together the best of British and French food. Its weekend brunch includes a generous full English with bacon, sausages, eggs, and beans, served in a classic Parisian setting with a terrace. It's a short walk from the Palais Garnier and the Louvre.
Good to know: Weekend brunch is popular, so book ahead.
Marcel (Montmartre and other locations)
Where: 1 Villa Léandre, 18th arrondissement. Metro: Lamarck–Caulaincourt.
Tucked away on one of Montmartre's prettiest lanes, Marcel is an international-style café known for its brunch. Its British breakfast includes fried eggs, sausages, bacon, mushrooms, beans, and toast, and there are pancakes and French toast if you want something sweet. It is away from the main tourist crowds, so mornings are relatively calm. There are also branches on the Left Bank and in the 16th arrondissement.
Irish and Build-Your-Own Breakfasts
These spots don't serve a classic full English, but you'll find something very close, or you can build your own.
Galway Irish Pub (Saint-Michel)
Where: 13 Quai des Grands Augustins, 6th arrondissement. Metro: Saint-Michel Notre-Dame.
On the banks of the Seine, close to Notre-Dame and the Shakespeare and Company bookshop, this friendly Irish pub serves a hearty Irish breakfast with bacon, sausages, eggs, hash browns, black pudding, and homemade bread. In the evenings, it shows live sports and hosts live music.
Holybelly (Canal Saint-Martin)
Where: 5 Rue Lucien Sampaix, 10th arrondissement. Metro: Jacques Bonsergent.
Opened in 2013 by two Parisians who had lived in Melbourne, Holybelly is one of the city's favorite breakfast spots, with an Australian-style menu. Build your own breakfast with eggs and sides such as bacon, hash browns, mushrooms, and beans. Expect a queue at weekends.
Breakfast in America (Le Marais)
Where: 4 Rue Malher, 4th arrondissement, and other locations. Metro: Saint-Paul.
This American diner is a Paris institution. The hearty "Lumberjack" breakfast, with eggs, bacon, sausages, potatoes, and toast, is about as close as you'll get to a full English.
Twinkie (Sentier)
Where: 167 Rue Saint-Denis, 2nd arrondissement. Metro: Réaumur–Sébastopol or Étienne Marcel.
This small, ivy-covered café serves all-day American and Australian-style breakfasts, with plenty of extras such as bacon, toast, and beans to build your own plate. Grab a table on the terrace and watch the world go by.
Forty Six and Third (Upper Marais)
Where: 46 Rue de Turbigo, 3rd arrondissement. Metro: Arts et Métiers.
A relaxed brunch café where you can pick eggs your way with sides such as bacon and mushrooms. The menu also has vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
