Benoît Castel, a dream brunch to be enjoyed as a group

It is one of the best bakeries in Paris. In Belleville , the Pâtisserie-Boulangerie Benoît Castel, which houses a tea room area, has become in a few years a real institution, with the line that goes with it.

The secret of its success? Natural products and hyper qualified, organic flours, rigorous sourcing and a desire to reconnect with the simple pleasures of the art of French living. Its bread , croissants, panettone and cabbage will make all foodies salivate.

What we do not know is that the address offers completely delirious all-you-can-eat brunches every weekend, installed on large wooden tables in the heart of the bakery, just above the workshop, with a view direct on the sumptuous bread oven.

Let's go for a real gourmet break. All you have to do is pick your plate from the wooden dresser and help yourself to the trays straight out of the oven. Concretely: pastries and special breads served with jams and homemade semi-salted butter, fruit tarts, chocolate fondant , crumble….

Pick from the buffet: market salads , Lorraine or vegetarian quiches , the famous roast chicken and oven-baked vegetables, caramelized pork ribs , small new potatoes , creamy scrambled eggs , homemade soups for face winter, and a fine selection of cold meats and raw milk cheeses.

Without forgetting the basket of seasonal fruits, the rice pudding with a good salted butter caramel, the fruit salad, a freshly squeezed juice, and hot coffee or tea in self-service. If with that you are still hungry ...

As everything takes place by reservation, you finally have the perfect place to disembark with all your group of friends for a brunch like at home, the exceptional menu and more. The good tip: book for the second service, just to stay at the table all afternoon… Who says better?

All-you-can-eat brunch , € 35, € 15 for children under 12, by reservation only. Saturdays and Sundays, in 2 services: from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., at 150 rue de Ménilmontant, Paris 20e
