Best Brunches In Paris

Basically, you just need to know that it takes a lot to impress people in Paris, so a little list of places where you liked brunch in the past (in a city that doesn't really indulge much in brunch except for late rising tourists) is unlikely to elicit a wave of enthusiasm.
You have received a little ripple of interest from some of the virtual tourists missing Paris and who want to read anything that can be said about it, but there is no cause for annoyance or disappointment if others disagree. This is after all a forum where a diversity of opinions is expected, not just a validation of everything that somebody writes about the city.

Brunch in Paris? Never really thought about it. We always have breakfast in the apartment. Golden yellow yolk eggs, good oranges from Spain, fresh bread, and french butter. Strong coffee and after several days we get the right container of milk.
Kerouac, I saw a few pictures of the Christmas windows.

You have only to say bonjour, s'il vous plait, and they directly smile and greet you back. We had so much fun in Paris but what I did enjoy the most was their brunch. We had brunch in different places, but I can only pick the 4 most wonderful brunch spots.
For real, I can classify the Hollybelly5 asthe coolest spot to brunch in Paris. The meals vary depending on local and seasonal ingredients. Their homemade granola was heaven on earth. You will love it! And the staff was adorable. The next day I was craving some good pancakes, and a local recommended the Pancake Sisters.
The brunch menu cost us €23.50, and this set menu includes a hot drink, fruit juice, two savory pancakes, and a trio for dessert. 
Claus was amazing for their traditional French options of pastries and bread on offer, as well as a German-style dish of cheese, hard-boiled egg, ham, and fruit.
The last day I thought of trying crepes, and the best place to enjoy is La Crêperie D’Alizée. We had the gourmet brunch menu that includes crispy, savory buckwheat galettes topped with eggs and bacon, ham, or salmon; thick sweet crêpes you can coat in jams, home-made caramel, or chocolate; fresh fruit and even a small cheese platter. And all these delicious foods cost us only €20. 
Let me know more about the places where I can enjoy food?

Tartiflette is an excellent French classic even though it was only invented around 1980. People in the Alpine region only discovered its existence when it became popular in the ski resorts, which probably means that city chefs (Paris or Lyon) dreamed it up. In any case, nobody is complaining. I imagine that it was derived from the gratin dauphinois. which dates from the 18th century and which is called "au gratin potatoes" in North America.

Well, it's a lovely concoction whatever the origins. My scalloped potatoes and au gratin potatoes don't contain bacon, white wine, caramelized onions, creme fraiche and French cheese though, so it's definitely a treat for me.

Traditionally, we have them for Thanksgiving. I just do them with red potatoes, bleu cheese, and creme fraiche.
50 years ago, we had Betty Crocker Scalloped Potatoes out of a box (today, $1.39 at Target). We thought they were great!!!

My scalloped potato recipe calls for potatoes, milk, flour, seasonings and sharp cheddar cheese. It's simple, but really good.
Can't honestly remember the last time I made au gratin though.
And then there's Boursin potatoes, with red potatoes, seasonings, heavy cream and Boursin cheese.
And sour cream potatoes with a crushed corn flake and butter topping...and garlic smashed potatoes...and twice baked potatoes...so many potatoes, so little time
Stu - I remember those Betty Crocker potatoes too - I used to like the hash brown version, but haven't had them for many moons.

In any case, none of that is the same as tartiflette, which requires lardons.
