A simply fantastic experience all around. Everything from start to finish. A marathon of hugs and kisses in the form of breakfast food. Music... superb. Service , top notch. read more

The world's best pancakes is a bold statement. The hour long wait outside ridiculous. Once inside it was well worth the wait. The hashbrown balls were the best I must say. The pancake was a strong 7.5. wait staff we cool place is a little expensive. The food quality is the real winner here. They use the best top quality ingredients. read more

Came here on my trip to France and good lord was it worth the $35 dollar Uber! I'm not a big fan of eggs but eggs on pancakes is out of this world delicious! I had to tell everyone about it back home read more

Holy belly is exactly what I'll have because this place is phenomenal. Throw away what you think you know about pancakes. I know, I know, what could possibly be special about something anyone could make? Please, take a seat. Have sip of tea, because there's some truth to be spilled. Don't worry, I get it, I was thinking the same thing. The pancake phenomenon has climbed its way up to the ranks of "staple food". Pancakes are synonymous with breakfast. From generations-old recipes to the fast food delights, I wasn't sure I was going to get anything new from Holybelly. Boy, was I wrong. Let me first say though, if you're in a rush, this is not the place for you. For what they serve out there, which is above average, the price is worth it. Super helpful staff as well, probably the friendliest in Paris by far. Okay, to what matters. The food! I started with a latte. I'm not a coffee snob, but when I came to Paris for vacation, I expected coffee to be fresh like spring water. Not the case, hello self, Paris is known for wine, not coffee. But when that delightful cup sat in front of me and I took that first sip, I was transported back home to the boutique coffee shops with freshly brewed coffee. It wasn't bitter, it was nutty, the perfect medium roast, and comforting! What you expect from a latte. I perused the menu for a bit and my eyes kept gravitating hungrily to the pancakes. I tried to fight it initially, after all Paris is crepes, what do they know about pancakes? I thought to myself arrogantly. Hunger won over irrational thinking and I ordered the Sweet Stack (11.5 Euro). These three stacks of crack is topped with hazelnut whipped cream, drizzled seductively with hazelnut and maple syrup, and scattered are seasonal fruit, in this case strawberries. Pause, by now y'all are like, this is just like IHOP. If you thought that, pancake angels are crying. The plate arrived and I was instantly wet. In my mouth. There was this balance visually of looking perfectly browned but had just the right amount of "unevenness" in its circular shape that it felt like some gourmet, three Michelin star, super grandma had made in her palace kitchen blessed by Dominique Ansel. My fork stabbed at one of the stacks. Slight resistance told me the outside was lightly crisped. The fork continued to descend through its fluffy interior, releasing mouth-watering aromas that made me want to ugly eat this heavenly creation. I resisted the urge to bite, I needed all the components first. I slide the perfect piece of fluff as far up my fork would let me. Joining the pancake was a perfectly red, juicy strawberry. Before its final ascent into my mouth, I covered my perfect bite with the whipped cream, hazelnut, and maple syrup. No more waiting. Chomp! For 0.5 seconds, I blacked out. I was drowning in ecstasy. This pancake flavor caressed my tongue as if to say, you've never met someone like me before have you? No, I replied promptly with slow motion bites. Not to be ignored were the freshly cut strawberries. Perfectly ripe, sweetly tart, but not sour, cutting through the richness of the cake. Joining the orgy of flavors were the cream and syrups, reminding me, that this was after all...a sweet stack. It was an assault to the senses that I would gladly let abuse me over and over again. Basically, I loved it. Tip: Come as soon as it opens. We did that and even then there was already a line 10 people deep. Don't despair though, once your in service is relatively quick. read more

This was one of the better restaurants I've been to in Paris. It was very "californian" in terms of the long line to get in (about a half hour wait on a Saturday for brunch for 2 people) and the food options. The staff was also great! They were very accommodating - my dad and I had suitcases with us and they quickly found a spot for us to put it when we walked in. In terms of food, I got a flat white and fried eggs with a salad and the mushroom dish. The flat white was very good. It's a bit sweet so be prepared for that. The meal was very good! They did a good job preparing the eggs. The mushrooms were well cooked and flavorful. I wanted the kale side, but it was out of season unfortunately. The only negatives I would have to say is the long line out the door and the limited menu options. I would recommend having a sign-in sheet with phone numbers so people can wander while waiting. In terms of the menu, all that was available were eggs with sides and pancakes and a few others. They should expand and try to include some other items, like eggs benedict, açaí bowls, oatmeal, etc. Other than those negatives, I would recommend it! read more

Good service and awesome food. Worth the hype and I can definitely see why it's almost 5 stars overall. Had daily special hummus plate. Hands down best hummus I've had. Also split the pancake, egg, and bacon breakfast. So delectable read more

The Yelp Phenomenon is horrible: a lot a people, looooong time to have a table and waiting for a non-surprising expensive food. The food wasn't bad but 20 euros for eggs, bacon and coffee isn't the breakfast I was expecting. The place is not really kid friendly as they said. It's a restaurant without play area if that's what you're looking for. If you're in a rush, this is not the place. read more

It's funny to go to an Australian restaurant in Paris but it was the best brunch I had when I visited Paris. They specialize in eggs and it was fantastic. Expect to wait in line but the wait was only 20 minutes! Enjoy! read more

Don't go here if you're in a hurry, but once you get your food, it is very good. Tiny place. They make pancakes but not what you think of as American pancakes, they have sweet but also savory (they call it salty) and I had a very satisfying organic scrambled egg sandwich with cream cheese. Good coffee. Place is packed and staff is harried but it's good. Prices moderate. read more

After an overnight flight we needed a stick to your ribs breakfast/brunch to get us going for a full day of Paris. Near the East station area it a Waffle House on crack. The food was great and was presented well in a mod designed café. The staff did great too. read more

Coming from the US and trying to find some traditional American breakfast, this place completely served its purpose. The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere there was chic, friendly, and the staff spoke English and was helpful. The food was extremely delicious and the amount matched the cost. I ordered scrambled eggs, bacon, and bacons.. lol The only down side for me was the eggs were a little wet than I preferred but it was still really good. read more

While in Paris on vacation, we realised that we were home sick for an American type breakfast by day 3! No disrespect to Paris but sometimes a girl just needs crispy bacon is her life. I did some research and discovered this little gem in the 3rd arrondissement. We arrived there around 10am to a line at the door 5 persons deep. And that too me was the sign of good things to come. The establishment was very small (as is everything in Paris) but strangely hip industrial but homey. Out waitress was a sweetheart and took care of us right away. The meal we ordered took about 15 minutes to get to us but we were too busy enjoying our chai tea in a glass. As soon as I dove into in pancake and sunny side up eggs, it was as if the angels were singing. It was the right combination of creamy, salty, crunchy and sweet and it left me full and smiling. By the time we left, there were about 20 in line, on the street waiting to get in. Arriving early is the key getting in quickly read more

What a delightful little spot. I was excited to eat here after hearing good things from American tourists in Paris leading up to my trip last week. I got here half an hour early to beat the line - apparently unnecessary on a weekday, though there were a few parties waiting when I left. The interior is very cute, the servers all seemed to speak English and French, and the crowd was mixed but definitely few locals (not touristy or anything, just tourists were the clientele). I ordered the savory stack and just wow. It was so simple - eggs and bacon on pancakes - but they put the over easy eggs on top of pile so the yolk got on the golden brown pancakes. Delicious. Wish I could've returned on my trip but next time!! read more

Holybelly - Savory stack - perfect breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paris, 75

Wow, while in Paris we tried coming here twice, the second time we had more time to spare and waited the line out. Yes, there was a long long long line down the street on a MONDAY. What?!? The line moved quickly, the staff was on top of everything perfectly. Once we were sat we instantly had the daily specials told to us, and a bottle of water sat on the table for us. I had the daily special Llapinchingos and it was incredible. Absolutely incredible. My man got their 2 eggs your way, and 2 sides which we loved every single bite! I also devoured my entire plate. The servers were absolutely wonderful. The food was so worth the wait and more, i wish we were here another day to come back again. They play bumpin' music, decor is so cool. They also have lifted booths so you can store strollers, and suitcases if your traveling while you eat. There are 3 gender neutral restrooms that are decorated so charmingly. The hot sauce they offer is so spicy and so flavorful! I really liked it. Overall, great service, excellent food, and a really neat environment. Can't wait to come back and try another daily special! read more

The best breakfast ever! I highly recommended the savory stack. The staff here is so nice and the music is so fun! I recommend coming early because there is usually a line down the street. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Also the butter tastes like ice cream read more

This place is just terrible, avoid it at all costs, I came here two days in a row and ordered the same thing, both times it was hands down the absolute... best breakfast I've ever had. It will seriously ruin every other breakfast place you've ever liked. The portions are perfect, the pancakes are delicious, the bacon is just the way I like it, and the hash browns are fantastic. Bonus points: it's swamped with Americans, and everyone working there speaks English. So if you're tired of French food, or you'd just like to hear some other people speaking English around you, Holybelly is the place to go. I only wish they opened before 9am so I could stop off for breakfast before my flight, and complete the hat trick. read more

Yum yum! This was one of our favorite breakfasts while visiting Paris. This place clearly caters to expats, so dont come in expecting a french experience. The halloumi was my favorite item but everything was delicious. read more

Where Parisian hipsters and American tourists come together. This was one of my favorite meals while in Paris. The mushrooms,fried halloumi cheese, and sweet stack pancakes were all exceptional. The service was also great- everyone was friendly and attentive. read more

So so disappointed... breaks my heart to write this review... We've been to the old place a dozen times each year we have been to Paris since they opened in 2013. Fun, funky small place, everyone happy.. Hustle bustle yes, but small enough it seemed that Sara and Nico could keep an eye out for what was going on... Fast forward to 2017, they've opened up a much much larger space.. Get in, get out; next in line! Controlled ciaos methinks not... Ciaos but not controlled. Our server barely smiled at us took our order and 10 minutes later another server brings my wife's meal, but not mine. 3-5 minutes later our server comes back and looks at me like I did something wrong - really wth... Not even so much as an ooopsie, we'll expedite your meal... another 10 minutes, my wife is done with her meal, the table next to us has been served and almost done with their meal... I flag down the server.. yes they not longer look to serve you; you must now flag them down and I told her enough! Bring my check! She looked at me with dismay... She was incredulous; It will only be another 5-minutes... No the new bigger place is not what it used to be. Big, impersonal and seems a bit out of control. They're opening up a remodel of the old place, I can only imagine when they have to split their time between two stores, they can't keep what's in front of them in order as it is... Breaks my heart to write this review... we loved following this young family, reading their blogs... Bigger isn't always better... read more

Delicious food. The place looks beautiful. Everyone inside speaks English and everyone is very friendly. Love the music they play as well. To drink tru the London fog, it is so good. I had the pancakes with eggs and bacon. Very good food. Highly recommended read more

Holybelly - Best pancakes. Must try! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paris, 75

First day of arriving of Paris at around 12 PM on a Saturday and the line was through the door and basically past the next store so I decided to come back Tuesday at 1:45, there was no line and was seated fast. I decided to order the special deal of the day which was the grilled cheese with some type of soup. It at first was good but the cheese flavor is incredibly strong and the soup was thick. My friend got the breakfast which was the better option because no one writes about their other food. While my mother ordered the chili which was bland and the rice was semi-hard. My grilled cheese was decent at best. read more

Holybelly - Grilled Cheese with soup - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paris, 75

Sooooooooo good.... Some of the best food I have ever had in my life. This place should have michelin stars. Better than most restaurants that I've eaten at that have some. The savory pancakes are insanely good. The pancakes melt in your mouth. the bacon is charred for taste, kind of 'wiggly,' but crunchy at the same time. The best of both worlds. The eggs are amazing as well. Honestly, each piece on the dish is cooked to perfection. The coffee was delicious as well. read more

4.5 Stars We visited in april and after a hefty wait our meal did not disappoint! We did a couple stacks of pancakes and some egg dishes. It is one of my top 10 favorite breakfast stops ever. The seating can be close to other parties so not an intimate feel but the food makes up for it and I am all about efficiency to make the wait shorter. Definitely the best place I found for a hardy breakfast in Paris! read more

American breakfast done right...in Paris! Found Holybelly through Instagram while we were bookmarking restaurants to try during out trip. So happy we came across this wonderful spot! Holybelly was the first place my husband was able to get "regular" coffee aka filter, which isn't really a thing in Europe I guess...?! The pancake/bacon/egg combination was amazing. Yogurt & granola was heaven (& a large portion). Definitely get the chai with oat milk, my fav. Wish we could've gone one more time before we left Paris, but...c'est la vie. read more

We ate here while on vacation from the US, and it was definitely reminiscent of American brunch spots, with the line out the door and everything. Get here early if you want to wait less than an hour. Amazing food, especially the black porridge. Great service and ambiance. Don't come here looking for French food but definitely a solid meal! read more

Seriously a breath of fresh air if you are from America and need some English time. We came on a weekday morning 15min of when they first opened their doors and got seated right away. Greeted in English (we probably looked non Parisian) and got everything explained in English. Nice hipster atmosphere and the FOOD! Super tasty and I cleaned my plate. I'd recommend the champs if you decide to get the savory. read more
