It's the same every year. While the Aoutiens have deserted Paris for the mountains or the beach, the Parisians who have stayed behind can enjoy a City of Light lightened by the crowds in its streets.
A moment suspended in time that peaks every August 15, widely hailed as the quietest day of the year in Paris. It must be said that the majority of food shops are closed, as are most restaurants and cafés. Fortunately, that isn’t the case for all of Paris's best spots!
Some cafés, coffee shops, restaurants, rooftops and other sunny terraces are catering to gourmets looking to satisfy a craving with a hot drink, pastries, eggs Benedict, an avocado toast and fresh fruit. Yes indeed, if you want to make the most of this holiday and treat yourself solo, with friends or with family over a good brunch, you’re in the right place!
Find here the best spots for brunch in Paris on August 15, 2026. And remember to call ahead to reserve your table and to check that these places are actually open on this public holiday!
