Here’s a delightful discovery we weren't necessarily expecting in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. The Printemps Haussmann is venturing into the world of Sunday brunch and has unveiled a hidden gem tucked beneath the historic dome of the department store. Head up to the 6th floor of Printemps Femme, where Restaurant Bleu Coupole now welcomes brunch fans every Sunday, from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.. Led by chefs Xavier Pistol and Bryan Esposito, the menu offers a delicious and genuine experience, a refreshing change from the standard offerings found elsewhere.
Just visiting this spot is worth the trip on its own. Bathed in natural light streaming through the glass roof, Bleu Coupole offers a stunning panoramic view of Parisian rooftops. Its modern brasserie vibe stays true to the spirit of the place, creating the perfect setting to settle in comfortably and let Sunday unfold at a relaxed pace. Far from the hustle and bustle of Boulevard Haussmann below, that’s precisely what makes the experience so enjoyable. The light, the space, the sensation of being perched above the city—everything invites you to slow down and savor the moment.
The €38 à la carte option aims to be both accessible and generous. It all starts with the essentials that everyone agrees on: warm croissants, high-quality bread, homemade jams, and a hot beverage, all served in a basket. It sets the perfect foundation for a genuine moment of relaxation, whether you're alone, with a partner, or with friends. This straightforward and honest approach sets the tone for the entire experience.
On the savory side, eggs steal the show in various renditions. Traditionalists will head for the Benedict eggs, available with salmon, bacon, or mushrooms. For those craving lighter options, the avocado toast topped with a poached egg hits the spot. There's a charming nod to the classic Sunday brunch with chicken served alongside mushrooms and roasted baby potatoes, perfectly golden. It’s the kind of bistro-style cooking that’s both comforting and expertly crafted.
The sweet finale is definitely worth lingering over. Bryan Esposito fully embraces a delightfully nostalgic approach with desserts that bring back childhood memories. Creamy chocolate mousse, crispy churros, or vanilla rice pudding can all be customized with a variety of toppings. This playful, indulgent touch wraps up the meal on a festive note—unpretentious yet immensely satisfying.
If you're looking for a great Sunday outing in a hidden gem rich in history, this dome brunch is definitely worth a visit. It’s a spot where you come for both the stunning panoramic views of Paris and the honest, straightforward cuisine that doesn’t try to be anything more than it is. The relaxed atmosphere makes it easy to settle in and really enjoy your time, without the usual rush you often feel elsewhere. Here, Sunday can truly feel like it’s lingering a little longer, suspended above the city in a unique setting.
Located on the 6th floor of Printemps Femme (take the elevator), the restaurant is situated at 64 Boulevard Haussmann in the 9th arrondissement, just steps from the Opéra Garnier and Galeries Lafayette. To secure a table with a view of the Parisian rooftops, reservations can be made directly through the Printemps website. It's a great spot to combine gastronomy with a touch of heritage, away from the more tourist-heavy venues.
