Pentecost Monday is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a Paris brunch and savor a delicious moment in complete tranquility. This public holiday, synonymous with a long weekend (but for some only, those who do not take part in the solidarity day) invites you to slow down and gather around a convivial meal with friends or family.
Heads up, though, to score a good brunch on Monday, May 25, 2026, it’s best to plan ahead! Not all the spots are open and those that are, especially the most sought-after places with a sunny terrace, tend to fill up quickly, hence the value of booking in advance.
If you’re among the gourmets for whom Pentecost Monday remains a holiday, you’re in the right place. From a relaxed brunch to the gastronomic brunch, through a world-flavors brunch, the family brunch and the all-you-can-eat brunch, you’re sure to find your happiness on May 25. So, here are the great spots to brunch in Paris!
