Whether you like your eggs poached, scrambled, fried or made into a scrummy omelette, they’ll be cooked to perfection at Eggs & Co.

Frenchie to Go, 9 Rue du Nil, 75002, Paris
French chef Gregory Marchand spent time working in London and New York before opening his popular bistro, Frenchie to Go, and from the menu it’s clear that he took what he learnt from both countries home to France.

Paris is not the best place to be if you’re watching your figure (who can resist all those pastries?!) but thankfully, Café Pinson specialises in organic, healthy food without compromising on taste.

Café Marlette, 51 Rue des Martyrs, 75009 Paris
Exposed stone walls, wooden tables and the smell of fresh-baked bread give the hip Café Marlette a welcoming, homely feel. The brunch menu includes deliciously rich cakes and breads, crunchy honeyed muesli and hot scones. If you’re after something more substantial, the savoury tartines on crunchy bread or the boiled eggs with seasonal vegetables, ham and cheese are a good choice. The two brunch menus on offer are both priced at €24.90.
Holybelly, 19 Rue Lucien Sampaix, 75010, Paris
There’s normally a pretty long queue of customers waiting outside Holybelly (there are only 49 seats and they don’t take reservations). With a motto of ‘it’s good because we care’, Holybelly serves home-made food with fresh products and is famed for its excellent coffee sourced from Belleville Brûlerie. The breakfast menu offers sweet options including a stack of pancakes or black rice porridge but you can also go for their ‘eggs and sides’.
Claus, 14 rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 75001, Paris
It’s no surprise that Claus is the creation of a former fashion PR; beautifully presented cakes and a picture-perfect shop front make it an Instagrammer’s dream. There are the traditional French options of pastries and bread on offer as well as a German-style dish of cheese, hard-boiled egg, ham and fruit. Once you’re finished eating, peruse the selection of jams, biscuits and other condiments that you can buy to enjoy at home.
