January 1st is one of the quietest days of the year in Paris. The city silently sleeps after a late night celebrating le réveillon. It can be hard to find a restaurant that is open, so if you’re visiting the city and aren’t staying in an apartment where you prepare your own meals, or are just too tired to cook, make your way to one of these fantastic places to eat, which are open on New Year’s Day in Paris.


Terrass” Hotel
Many of the luxury hotels in Paris will be doing a special New Year’s Day brunch, and this upscale hotel on the edge of Montmartre is one of them. Take in stunning views over the whole city including the Eiffel Tower, while enjoying a gourmet sweet, savory, or seafood brunch. It’s available for €64/person or €74/person with a glass of champagne.

Hotel Lutetia
Over on the Left Bank, this regal hotel is putting on a New Year’s Day brunch fit for a king. Expect abundant savory and sweet buffets chicly topped with smoked salmon, oysters, Iberian ham, makis, truffled eggs, matcha and lemon madeleines, blackcurrant and Sichuan pepper cream puffs, your favorite viennoiseries, and much, much more. This decadent feast is available at €150/person including a glass of champagne.

Hotel Molitor
Haven’t been to this trendy hotel in the 16th yet? New Year’s Day might be the perfect occasion. A revamped former municipal swimming pool, the weather on January 1st might not tempt you to take a dip, however, you can instead partake in a copious brunch for 75€/adult (including a glass of champagne) and 35€/children. This brunch is a great option for families as they will have babysitters on hand who will be organizing games and workshops for kids.

Les Cocottes
Two doors down from Café Constant is Christian Constant’s eatery specialized in “cocottes,” dishes served in small casserole pots. These can range from traditional roasted pigeon to lobster ravioli. Try to save room for a piece of “Fabulous” chocolate tart.

Terrass” Hotel – 12-14 Rue Joseph de Maistre, 75018 Paris
Hotel Lutetia – 45 Boulevard Raspail, 75006 Paris
