The great American brunch trend has made the trip from the United States to France, but especially to Nice. A trend that works and that attracts more and more people who are fond of good food and if possible healthy. But finding a real and good brunch is not easy. Between frozen croissants and overpriced menus, quality brunches are becoming rare…
We’ve put together our top 5 best brunches in the city

This country house-style restaurant with exposed stone walls, solid wood tables, and a warm decoration makes us feel at home!
If you see several people clumped together in an alley in Old Nice in front of a restaurant window, you’re in the right place! Filled with delicious pastries, Marinette’s shop window is known to make many succumb…
You’ll find brunch classics like pancakes, French toast, eggs, or the famous carrot cake. You will also discover the specialties of the house, such as the minute cookie served in its frying pan, the pavlova with its generous whipped cream, the coconut rocher, and without forgetting the fresh fruit juices and the matcha tea…

If you like chicken, we suggest the bao bun. A real treat. It’s crispy chicken with a delicious brioche bun and a touch of secret ingredients.

N°4 Kililies – 21 rue Delille, Nice – 9:30am – 2:30pm
This restaurant is an institution in Nice when it comes to brunch. Located in the city center, in a small and quiet street, you can enjoy your meal on the terrace or inside. Its cakes and pastries are delicious, they make homemade brioche French toast with very good products, served with maple syrup and cereal muesli with fruits.
This brunch restaurant offers several formulas including the Nice brunch with savory and sweet dishes. But you can also take dishes à la carte according to your desires and your hunger.
You can have brunch on the spot, but also have it delivered on a rainy Sunday for example. A very appreciable and rather rare option in Nice. You won’t find all the dishes on the menu but there are still several sweet and savory dishes. If this option suits you, you just have to go on the delivery applications such as Delivero, Uber Eat, or Livreur Chic.
N°5 La Popote D’ondine – 18 rue Gioffredo and 2 rue Blacas, Nice – 9am – 6pm
Established for several years in Nice, this restaurant offers quality healthy brunches with fresh products. You can also taste freshly squeezed fruit juices.
Specialized in homemade pastry, this tea room offers you very gourmet brunches… Waffles, fluffy pancakes with bananas, pecans, and maple syrup. For the fans of eggs and avocado, you are also at the right address!
This tea room does not offer formulas, everything is a la carte. Brunch is served until 3 pm. A beautiful terrace is arranged on the sidewalk which is very appreciable during sunny days. Inside you will find a warm decoration with a beautiful bay window which gives on the outside.
You have 2 addresses depending on your location, rue Gioffredo, and rue Blacas. Both offer the same dishes, but the one on rue Blacas is open on Sundays. The good thing is that they don’t take any reservations for last minute cravings.
