Located between the beautiful neighborhoods ofwestern Paris and the more working-class areas of the north, the 17th arrondissement of Paris reveals a multifaceted character that is at once bourgeois, creative, and lively. It's a district that's best explored on foot, from Place de Clichy to the gates of Levallois, passing through the Batignolles neighborhood with its flower-filled streets, markets, parks, and charming spots. It's a neighborhood that combines residential calm with local energy, perfect for a weekend brunch.
You'll find families enjoying a quiet Saturday, young professionals looking for good restaurants, and regulars loyal to their favorite cafés. The atmosphere is often calm and relaxed, a far cry from the crowded brunches in tourist areas. Here, the focus is on quality, homemade food, carefully selected ingredients, and generous portions.
Les Batignolles offers a wide range of brunch options, from stylish coffee shops to small establishments with Anglo-Saxon or Mediterranean accents. Fluffy pancakes, organic eggs, fresh juices, vegetarian dishes, and artisanal pastries: the menus are often generous, served in bright and soothing settings. Closer to Courcelles and Ternes, elegant brasseries and luxury hotels offer more traditional but equally refined brunches in a cozy atmosphere.
In the east of the arrondissement, around Rue de Tocqueville and Boulevard des Batignolles, discreet spots attract regulars: neighborhood cafés, socially conscious canteens, and hybrid concepts combining a café, gallery, and bookstore. You'll quickly feel at home here, with a warm welcome and simple cuisine, often organic and locally sourced.
The 17th arrondissement is therefore an ideal place for brunch in Paris, so here are some great places to go!
