Le Café Paulette, located on place du Pin, prides itself on serving dishes made from fresh, local ingredients. As a result, the menu changes according to seasonal availability.

Special mention goes to the homemade pancakes, delightfully fluffy and served in such generous portions that they’re hard to finish. Le Café Paulette offers a terrace to enjoy the neighborhood ambiance, while the cozy interior invites you to extend your relaxing experience.

La Popote d’Ondine: the coziest brunch spot

If you’re looking for a cozy setting and a warm atmosphere, La Popote d’Ondine is the perfect place for brunch. With two locations in quiet streets (rue Gioffredo and rue Blacas), this spot offers a 100% homemade brunch. To cater to all guests, the menu includes vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. Highlights include the avocado toast, eggs Benedict with truffle, bacon, or salmon, and unique choices like sweet potato waffles. For a Sunday brunch, head to the rue Blacas location, as the rue Gioffredo establishment is closed that day.
