Holybelly

Holybelly is the ultimate breakfast spot in Paris! Located just around the corner from metro 5, it's a must-visit. Be prepared for a line that forms before they open at 9 am—it seems to go on forever (I left at 11 am, and it was still going strong!). The savory stack was absolutely scrumptious, featuring perfect sunny side up eggs and bacon with a savory butter that reminded me of home (America). Their lattes were delicious, adorned with cute latte art, and they also offered fresh carrot orange juice (not pictured). Plus, it's pet-friendly if you have a furry friend with you. The staff were all multilingual and incredibly friendly—I had Eduardo, and he was the best!

Amazing amazing amazing ! I have bruch here with some friends and our kids and the staff were super friendly and accommodating. Their mood was so positive and upbeat. I don’t typically tip as it is something common from where I came from but this time, I just had to!

The savoury stack was to die for and the cheesecake was refreshing! 🥰😍

The best pancake place in Paris by far and I’ve been here over half a decade.

I had to order more bourbon butter because it was just so good. 😍😍😍 will definitely come back. ✨✨✨✨

We had a great experience at the Holybelly! It was a drizzly Saturday morning and we waited in line about ~40 minutes but a server came out to give us an idea of how long it would be which was really helpful. We started off with some delicious coffees and Prosecco, then ordered the Savory Stack and the special of the day. Unfortunately we dove in and forgot to take pictures but both were delicious!

When looking for a breakfast / brunch location this spot came up and I am so glad it did. A review on here says not to "skip this place" and I could not agree more.

We visited around 11am on a Thursday and it was busy but we got a table relatively quickly. The service was excellent, such happy and friendly wait staff and the food was delicious. Decent portions, well priced, good quality and came out piping hot.

Best scrambled eggs I've had in a long time, just as good as my #1 spot of Grainger and Co!

Thanks so much for a memorable last breakfast in Paris. I'll be sure to mention this place to friends and family who are visiting Paris!

5 stars place. Awesome breakfast, great flavors, everything was perfect, the coffee was very very good and the service was nice and friendly. The only bad thing is the opening time! Wish we could come again but our city tours start much earlier.

If you have read any of my past reviews, you have probably gathered that breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. There is nothing like getting your day started with a nice hearty breakfast, especially when you’re on vacation. Therefore, I was excited when HolyBelly popped up as a suggested nearby breakfast spot. While waiting at the entrance to be seated, an animated & friendly employee greeted and seated us.

We ordered two classic drip coffees, an order of the two scrambled eggs with sides of bacon and hash browns (me), and the Chicken Karaage (wife). Ten minutes later our what would be delicious meal options were being delivered to our table. The eggs were fluffy and made me realize that I need to perfect my personal scramble skills. The bacon was delicious with a good amount of fat on them (just the way I like it) and the hash brown (although tiny) perfectly complimented the eggs (I’m just now discovering the joys of mixing foods -after years of making sure that food items never touched).

If you’re looking for a delightful breakfast experience with good food, I recommend visiting HolyBelly!

We had an amazing brunch experience at HolyBelly. The service was fantastic, and the food was delicious. The portion sizes were generous, and I especially enjoyed the toast, red beans, and scrambled eggs - a perfect combination for a delicious brunch! I highly recommend it!

We had a delicious breakfast here. The service was very good, the food was delicious. We had two great breakfast in Paris.

Ya’ll, do NOT skip this place. It is an absolute gem of a cafe. While it is slightly off the beaten path (which is generally our preference), HolyBelly was easily one of our favorite experiences while we were here.

THE AMBIANCE. Great music, mostly oldies/classics (Brown-Eyed Girl, Paradise by the Dashboard Light, Ain’t No Mountain High, etc). Bustling but not overwhelmingly loud– perfect for a family with kids or reading solo at a table with coffee. They have menus in English as well as coloring for the kiddos.

The wait to be seated moved quickly! It was not because anyone was rushed, but because they move quick to clean tables, have everyone seated, ordering and eating as fast as possible without taking away from the quality whatsoever. Incredibly efficient and enjoyable.

THE SERVICE. The staff all spoke English, had great senses of humor and were very helpful and friendly! They’re a good balance of attentive and respond quickly to requests. Overall very kind– they felt like friends.

THE FOOD. We ordered the Huevos Rancheros and the Savory Stack– neither disappointed! For us, it felt like home with a French twist (we moved to Germany last year, so it was much needed😅). The dirty Chai Latte, New Orleans coffee and the Pecan Cake were also flawless.

THE COST. Absolutely spot on and reasonable for the overall experience, portion size and flavor 💗 Not saying I want to, but I’d pay more 😂☺

*TLDR* Super yum, happy kids, happy bellies, good times all around.

10 STARS!!!!! Do not leave Paris without visiting this restaurant. This was my favorite meal during my visit. The staff was so attentive and helpful, and they were English-speaking which helped a lot. The food hands-down was the absolute best breakfast I have ever had in my life (no exaggeration).

We arrived at 9:30 AM, and we were seated immediately upon arrival. Everything tasted phenomenal!!! The eggs were fantastic, and the hash browns were cooked to perfection. The decor was simple, more attention went into the food. I have my doctorate in pancakes. Their pancakes were more on the “grainy” side, so that was a miss for me, but they were still delicious nonetheless. I recommend getting there early as there was a line waiting to get inside. The food exceeded all expectations. I dream about this place. I can’t wait to go back!

Came to HolyBelly five years ago and had to come back. This place by far has the friendliest team ready to help you! Service is amazing!

Food is great too but maybe slightly overpriced for what you get. Nonetheless tasted good!

This place is simply amazing! You definitely must go and treat yourself with the delicious food they have. As this is a quite popular place I recommend you to arrive before they open (9 am)
We arrived at 8:30 and there was a queue already.

Excellent brunch and great quality. Love to go there from time to time but if there is one feedback to have, is the queue, easily you will need around an hour waiting to enter.

Hint, easier to sit inside for 2 people than any other numbers.

My daughter found this nice place.
The food was good, and the service was excellent. I had "French" chilaquiles and was not disappointed and the most delicious pancakes.

My favourite pancakes in Paris! The cold pressed juice is fresh too. Staff is friendly and speak English very well.

Great brunch spot in Paris! We came on a Sunday and had to wait for an hour to be seated. The seating was a little tight and cramped but not super uncomfortable.
We had the egg plate, sweet stack, and the arancini special. Everything was delicious. The pancakes were perfect! I also ordered a flat white which was not super strong and tasted a little watery.
The service was great, especially for such a busy day. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful in giving recommendations.
I also appreciated that they had a high chair for my little one and also a changing station in one of the bathroom stalls, both of which are hard to find in most restaurants.

It’s good because they care could not be a more true statement! The food and experience were so good we went twice in two days! There’s a wide variety of options on the menu, and it’s basically whatever you want it to be. The hashbrowns are AMAZING, make sure you get one. The bacon and the scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly 🤤 all of the coffee was good (so much we bought a bag) but the mocha was THE best. You cannot go wrong here!

HANDS DOWN - One of the most heartfelt, warming, and best service I have ever experienced in all 20+ countries I've visited. Every interaction with the staff was amazing. They were so informative and had really good banter. The food wasn't typical French cuisine but was full of flavour, not too decant, and the star of the show was the ultra light cheesecake. THIS CHEESECAKE - I WOULD SHIP TO THE UK IF I COULD!
I can not praise Holybelly enough!! Will definitely be going back.

Breakfast here was great; we got a breakfast burrito and a chia pudding; both of them were delicious and freshly made. The service was fast and the waiters were polite.

100% my favorite brunch restaurant in the world. Love the daily specials but the savory stack will always be my favorite. Still thinking about it whenever we leave Paris.

Service it top notch. Staff is friendly. Defo a must go. ❤
