Breakfast in Paris: 12 Best Spots to Start Your Day
CLASSIC BREAKFAST & BRUNCH SPOTS
Azur Café
This small café, just a step away from Avenue des Champs-Élysées, has a calm and cozy atmosphere with soft background music. One of our personal favorites was their sweet French toast with berries, along with the Shakshuka, a delicious egg dish in a tomato-based sauce.
If you’re not a fan of tomatoes with your eggs, another must-try dish is the truffle omelet—moist, flavorful, and wonderfully aromatic.

Make sure to leave some room for their homemade scones, which are simply delightful. With its cozy, minimalistic vibe, this café is a perfect hidden gem, located just a short one-minute walk from Hôtel des Invalides.
