The Art of Brunching in Paris: The Grands Voyageurs Brunch
Categories : Hôtel, Restaurant, Around us, published on : 7/22/25
Why is brunch such an institution?
The word brunch, a blend of “breakfast” and “lunch,” originated in 19th-century British aristocracy. Conceived as a hybrid meal to accommodate late risers after glamorous soirées, it combines indulgence with conviviality. The concept crossed the Atlantic in the late 19th century with British expatriates and was quickly embraced in the United States. Brunch soon became embedded in American food culture before evolving into a beloved Sunday ritual around the world.
Brunching in Paris? A true art form
Brunch has become a Sunday ritual for both Parisians and travelers alike. The perfect harmony between relaxation and indulgence, between breakfast and lunch, makes it an ideal moment to unwind and enjoy a delicious meal. In this spirit, Hôtel des Grands Voyageurs offers a unique in-house brunch, blending French and American influences in a chic, retro setting.
Located in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, on the Left Bank of the Seine, Hôtel des Grands Voyageurs offers a chic and gourmet brunch designed to delight both locals seeking something new and travelers passing through. In the cozy ambiance of our New York-inspired brasserie, brunch becomes a journey between two continents.
Under the direction of Chef Benoît Ayissi, our menu reimagines brunch classics with a French twist. Every Sunday, Hôtel des Grands Voyageurs welcomes you for a reinterpreted Franco-American brunch: smashed avocado and crispy potato cakes, fried chicken pancakes with maple syrup for the savory side... On the sweet side, indulgent Snickers-style dessert, New York cheesecake, or an XXL cookie to share.
Brunch Menu: €35
Available every Sunday from 12:30 PM. to 3:00 PM.
