From Belleville to Gambetta, via Ménilmontant and La Campagne à Paris, the 20th arrondissement has many surprises in store for those who take the time to discover it. And what better way to treat yourself to a gourmet break in the heart of this popular, lively and charming neighborhood than with brunch?

The 20th arrondissement, perched inthe east of Paris, is a district that cultivates its village spirit. Far from the tourist hustle and bustle, it offers a real breath of fresh air, a lively neighborhood life, and a diversity that can be felt on every street corner. Here, you can stroll through the small sloping streets, discover discreet panoramic views of the capital, wander through the cobbled alleys of the Campagne à Paris and the heights of Belleville Park with its breathtaking views. It is also a cultural district, with its artists' studios, galleries, walls covered with street art, and café-concerts. In short, it's the perfect place for a weekend brunch!

When it comes to places to eat, the 20th arrondissement does not disappoint. Several spots, often run by local residents, offer generous, unpretentious, homemade brunches. From cozy cafés to neo-bistros, including places that are more committed to organic, vegetarian, or local food, there's something for everyone. You'll come across families with children, groups of friends out on the town, and young couples enjoying a quiet break. The atmosphere is often relaxed, without the frenzy of trendy brunches in central Paris.

Some places offer complete menus with hot drinks, fresh juices, scrambled eggs, toast, homemade granola, and cakes of the day; others draw inspiration from world cuisines, combining shakshuka, Lebanese dishes, American pancakes, and Vietnamese banh mi . In Belleville, Ménilmontant, and Jourdain, each micro-neighborhood has its own landmarks, faithful to the DNA of the 20th arrondissement: friendly, diverse, and independent.

Brunching in the 20th arrondissement means taking the time to experience Paris differently, sitting on a terrace or at a large wooden table, eating good food and chatting while observing the neighborhood. It's a great way to rediscovereastern Paris in a warm and appetizing light!
