The best Easter brunches (and tea times) in Paris

Easter isn’t just for kids! In Paris, gourmets can treat themselves to sumptuous brunches and exceptional tea times. Discover this year’s must-visit addresses.

Suelo Paris: an Iberian Easter brunch

Brunch on Sunday, March 31, 2025 isn’t about showing off, it’s about telling a story: the story of an Easter that was family-friendly, convivial and, above all, gourmet.

As a prelude, tomato and strawberry gazpacho sets the tone. This is followed by quail eggs with caviar, Padrón pimientos and an Iberian platter to match: Jamon Bellota 5J, aged Manchego, and a few welcome surprises. Savory dishes are treated with seriousness, without ever tipping over into excess.

As for hot dishes, the trio of signature paellas is well worth a visit:

• Grilled tuna belly,
• Galician beef rib steak with marrow bone,
• Roast cockerel.

All prepared à la minute, in the spirit of lively, generous cuisine. A special mention goes to the flambéed red mullet, served hot and crispy, which skilfully blends tradition and audacity.

Where Suelo stands out from the crowd is in its approach to brunch as a moment of transmission. While the adults savor their plates, the children take part in an egg hunt organized in the restaurant itself. Each little hunter leaves with a chocolate treasure, and above all, a smile.

This logistical detail (often overlooked elsewhere) allows for true serenity at the table. The result is a holiday-home atmosphere, rare in Paris, where generations meet and listen to each other.

📍Address: 7 rue du Boccador, 75008 Paris

Easter brunch and tea time at the Hôtel de Crillon: a royal experience

Easter 2025 promises to be exquisite at the Hôtel de Crillon! This year, Chef Matthieu Carlin honors chocolate in all its forms, with original creations in the Butterfly Pâtisserie. But the real highlight of this Easter season is the Easter Brunch, served in the palace’s sumptuous Salons Historiques.

An exceptional buffet for an unforgettable Sunday

On the menu, a generous buffet featuring noble products:

• Fine charcuterie, foie gras, oysters and pâté en croûte,
• Eggs in all shapes and sizes,
• Refined hot dishes such as Limousin lamb with wild garlic or poultry fricassee with yellow wine,
• An XXL cheese platter to delight cheese lovers.

On the sweet side, Matthieu Carlin’s springtime creations sublimate the festivities, including a raspberry heart madeleine, an incredible chocolate-hazelnut crêpe cake and a divine chocolate & praline almond tart.

The Easter Tea Time will take place in the heart of the Jardin d’Hiver, promising an ultra-refined gourmet break.

📍 Address: Hôtel de Crillon, 10 place de la Concorde, 75008 Paris

Le Meurice: the musical and gastronomic Easter brunch

For Monday April 21, 2025, Le Meurice’s Le Dali restaurant is offering an elegant, musical version of Easter brunch. From the very first bite, the tone is set: crisp viennoiseries, salmon gravelax, white asparagus, or leg of suckling lamb with wild garlic for meat lovers.

But it’s Cédric Grolet’ s sweet score that creates the magic: chocolate Big-Brest, hazelnut cookie or trompe-l’œil passion, each dessert becomes a work of art in its own right. All in an exceptional setting where live music and palatial service elevate brunch to a sensory experience.

📍 Address: 228 rue de Rivoli, 75001

Molitor: arty elegance in the 16th arrondissement

More than just a brunch, Molitor is offering a complete Easter weekend, from April 19 to 21, 2025. On Sunday and Monday, the brunch promises to be both gourmet and elegant, with seasonal produce, original sweet creations and a limited-edition chocolate bunny by Maison Chapon at the Brasserie (€10 on site, or €20 to take away).

But it’s above all the arty egg hunt on Sunday April 20 at 2pm that creates the surprise: in partnership with Musée en Herbe and Maison Chapon, children take part in a street art workshop before unearthing clues leading to a mysterious “Cabine Gourmande”. A fun and cultural activity, for €30 per parent-child duo.

📍Address: 13 rue Nungesser et Coli, 75016 Paris
