Top 5 best brunches in Montpellier

Feel like brunch? No, more seriously, do you fancy a brunch? This very fashionable word originated in the United States, and is a contraction of the words “breakfast” and “lunch”. As you can imagine, it’s a mixture of breakfast and lunch. This meal has won over the hearts of French restaurateurs, who have introduced it to their menus. Brunch, which is a new way of eating, can now be found in many French towns and cities. Like Montpellier, where life is good… and the food is hearty!

Yes, we French have a tradition of structuring our meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and eventually a snack. That’s why, at first glance, the idea of brunch, and therefore of mixing sweet and savoury, seems to us to be breaking codes and consuming a 3-in-1 meal in an original way.

Brunch is usually served between 11am and 4pm, so late risers visiting Montpellier can enjoy a hearty meal. So sit back and let us give you the good addresses.

3. Café de la Panacée

On Sundays from 11.30am to 3pm, come and enjoy one of the best brunches of your life in a unique setting with a Zen atmosphere. It starts with the toast and fresh bread that we love so much in France: you can choose between butter, cheese and jam. With this, a delicious freshly squeezed fruit juice or a hot drink (coffee lovers, we see you). Then, depending on the suggestions, you’ll have a choice of couscous, burger (very good) or scrambled eggs. For dessert, the focus is on fruit – how about a refreshing exotic fruit salad? Or perhaps you’d like something heartier like a milkshake, a lime tartlet? A banana cake? We’re counting on you not to leave a crumb!
