Brunch in Montmartre, generous and home-made
At the foot of the Butte, Berchoux brings brunch to the table: sweet and savoury, seasonal bowls, generous bagels and toasts, all cooked from scratch. A chic canteen to stretch the morning without rushing, minutes from Abbesses and the Sacré-Cœur.
The spirit
Brunch, the Montmartre way
Brunch is refusing to choose between breakfast and lunch — and Montmartre is the dream backdrop for that pause. On the Butte, the morning stretches out, you take your time, you share. At Berchoux, brunch keeps that village spirit: a table where you settle in without watching the clock, among neighbours and visitors alike.
No endless buffet here, no food kept warm. Brunch is built like the rest of our cooking: from the morning market, with seasonal produce prepared to order. The result is simple and generous, halfway between the comfort of home cooking and the freshness of a market canteen.
On the plate
Sweet, savoury, and everything in between
A good brunch is all about balance. You gladly start savoury — a composed bowl, eggs, a toast on characterful bread — before turning to the sweet and finishing on a slice of home-made carrot cake. Everyone builds their moment to their appetite, with no fixed menu.
Vegetables naturally take the lead: seasonal produce, pulses, good seeds and fresh fruit brighten the plate, with meat and fish in their rightful place. It's our flexitarian way to brunch — light enough not to weigh down the day, generous enough to keep you coming back.
The format
The forms of brunch at Berchoux
Depending on the day's mood and the time you have, brunch takes several shapes. Here are the ones that make the house spirit, to mix and match freely.
The seasonal bowl
Grains, pulses, market vegetables and a protein: the brunch format par excellence, filling without being heavy, colourful and easy to share.
The loaded bagel
Soft bread, honest fillings and home-made sauces. The bagel, chic-canteen style — as good seated as it is taken away for a brunch on a Butte bench.
The good toast
Built on specialty bread, generous and fresh: the savoury bite that opens brunch and leaves room for what follows.
The sweet note
The home-made carrot cake as the headliner, plus seasonal treats that change with the mood, to end the morning beautifully.
The table
Home-made and seasonal, every service
What changes everything in a brunch is what's behind the plate. At Berchoux, it all starts from fresh produce prepared each morning: no vacuum-packed shortcuts, but cooking done on site, like at home, with the rigour of a brigade.
This approach has a natural extension: anti-waste. We cook what the market offers, adjust quantities, and use the whole produce. Brunching here means eating right — seasonal, home-made, nothing wasted — and leaving light to wander the lanes.

The chef
Thirty years of stars, a neighbourhood brunch
In the kitchen, Julie Berchoux brings to everyday brunch the rigour of thirty years in Michelin-starred cooking, alongside houses like Robuchon, Ducasse, Taillevent and Fauchon.
