I've been coming to Holybelly at least once a month for over a year now and I couldn't recommend it more highly. Friendly staff (who don't mind speaking English with you if you need it), delicious food, rotating plats du jours that are always top tier, and all around good vibes -- I always feel at home on my visits. John and Andy are standouts, but everyone you interact with is very kind and always greats you with a smile, even when they're trying to manage the often block-long line outside. Pro-tip: Arrive around 20 mins before you actually want to eat just in case you have to wait a bit for a table. But trust me, the wait is worth it!!! read more

Our very first meal in Paris did not disappoint. Like some other reviews I have already read for this place, we patronized this restaurant immediately upon arrival to Paris after a transcontinental flight and were tired AF. I actually didn't even know if I could make it at a sit down place but the crisp fall weather on the walk over perked me up just enough to allow me to maintain consciousness for the meal. Essentially every member of the staff were incredibly friendly and provided excellent service. We started off with some much needed caffeine, I just a standard latte and GF the chai latte. Both were enjoyable. We scanned the specials first and were both shocked and excited to see llapingachos on the menu. Ironically, we were in Ecuador earlier this year and became very well acquainted with one of the few traditional vegetarian dishes. I certainly was not expecting to see this in PARIS. GF couldn't resist and it came just like it does in Ecuador, with.a plate loaded with a wide variety of accompaniments like salad, avocado, eggs, and mushrooms. For the non-vegetarian inclined, they also offered a chorizo option. GF elected to enjoy her eggs scrambled and they were absolutely delicious. I, as you already know, sampled almost everything on her plate and even though I usually like my eggs on fire, I reallyed liked this less-cooked version because it was delicate and absolutely delectable. The llapingachos were almost identical to the ones we had in Ecuador which impresses the fuck out of me for a Parisian restaurant. I tend to be more of a savory bitch but word on the street is that this place is known for its pancakes so I had to see for myself what the hype was about. They have a savory option which is intriguing but not vegetarian so I played it traditional and ordered their sweet stack with fruit, hazelnuts, and syrup. The pancakes were not quite as thick as something you would get at an ihop, for my American audience, but they were still soft and fluffy and tasted AMAZING. I also adored whatever whipped shit that was, it was flavored with something I can't put my finger on. It, of course, paired well with the fruit and the hazelnuts were a nice touch that I will admit I have tried with pancakes back home. The shit they ordered at the other tables also looked incredible and I can't recommend this place enough. We might be back lmao. read more

Holybelly was our 1st stop when we arrived in Paris while our hotel room was being prepared. There was line out the door when we arrived but the hostess came out to greet those of us in line and make us aware of the wait time of about 40 minutes (it actually was not that long). When we were finally seated our server willing spoke English and took our order. I ordered the London Fog, plain pancakes and hash browns. I was underwhelmed by the London Fog and the pancakes were cooked perfectly and had an undeniably amazing texture but they could have used some more flavor (maybe vanilla or maple syrup added to the batter); nevertheless, the pancakes were the best thing I had. Now, the hash browns were kind of weird because I believe it was fennel seeds in them. Although, I enjoyed the outside crunch of the potatoes the inside texture was awkward and off putting. I tasted the eggs and they were great. The hot sauce was very HOT! Our server was very nice but forgetful. She forgot the hot chocolate and side of bacon that was ordered. BONUS: They played amazing 90's R&B and rap music. Cool spot! read more

The last time I tried to visit here it was right before the pandemic hit and this place was hollybelly 19 any way my plans were canceled. I'm happy to report that I finally made it and it was worth the short wait in the rain for a table. I went on a Tuesday afternoon just before 13 and it was busy but felt warm and cozy inside, the attendants helped me order a drink and my meal and in an efficient manner served me I ate and was on my way to the museums. Never did I feel rushed the meal just flowed and went by naturally quick, do yourself a favor and stop by whenever you're free or in town. read more

Visiting Paris a second time, I was able to dine more where the locals did since the first trip was mostly guided by a tour group. Fun too of course, but I digress. It's been a few weeks since the trip to Paris, and I can say that the meal I had at Holybelly 5 was one of my favorite meals on my second visit to Paris. Sure they served mostly breakfast and the place is pretty packed., but boy did they do us good. The service was awesome, and the hot sauce they had is also great. I bought a bottle to bring back to the states! I had an egg dish with side of mushrooms. So good! I can understand why they have such a wait at times. Love Paris. Will be back here again for breakfast/brunch when I'm in the area. read more

I stopped here on my way to the Lourve but after leaving the train station on a Friday morning. The restaurant was crowded but they were able to fit us in immediately. The waitress offered a watermelon and raspberry drink and it was good but it would have been better if it was cooled or had ice in it. I ordered the Ultimate Huevos Rancheros for breakfast and it was delicious. All the flavors were paired perfectly together. I should've gotten my egg over easy soft but that's my fault. Everything else was great! I highly recommend if you're in Paris. read more

Filling and delightful American-style breakfast in Paris when a croissant and cup of coffee from the neighborhood patisserie aren't quite enough. Maybe that's why the line for Holybelly is always eons long-a string of mostly tourists, locals, and just overall very hungry people populate the side streets every weekend for a stellar pancake breakfast. At least that's what I envision, because Holybelly's signature stacks were undeniably the star of the show the day I snagged a table at this highly-rated establishment on a random Saturday after what felt like a 45 minute wait on foot. They have plain, savory, and sweet stacks; I opted for the sweet, which comes with seasonal fruits, hazelnuts (or walnuts? I don't remember), and whipped cream. With English-prepared eggs and bacon on the side, the entire meal was exactly my idea of the perfect breakfast. read more

This place is the bomb!! There are two locations, so make sure you come to Holybelly 5 if you want a breakfast for your meal. Ordered "The Savory Stack," added the mushrooms and that is called "The Champ." It is big enough to split. Everything was cooked perfectly and worth the wait in line. read more

Yum, yum, yummy to my tummy. I learned about this place on Youtube. I wanted to try the savory stack. When we got there we saw a lot of people standing outside looking confused. This was because you have to download an app in order to get on the list for a table. This was a little inconvenient and frustrating especially if you are visiting from another country because you may need to connect to a wifi source to get the app. We went inside and the gentleman was extremely helpful with assisting us. We got our table and I already knew what I wanted. The savory stack with mushrooms. Sooooo good! I ordered a mimosa to start, then I found out that they had their own beer. Don't mind if I do! I ordered that too lol. This place was delicious!!! read more

As an American visiting Paris, this place was a pleasant reminder of home. The first place I've been too where I really enjoyed my meal! The New Orleans Iced Coffee was pleasantly sweet (I have such a coffee sweet tooth!) I came by myself and was sat right away. I went on a Wednesday, but it was still fairly busy. As a highly reviewed location, I was expecting a bit of a wait but was surprised at the fast seating and service. 10/10!! read more

Two years later, and I'm BACK. (Though technically, I think two years ago, I went to Holybelly 19 when they only had one restaurant.) I'm not even exaggerating when I say that I've dreamed about this for the past two years. We came around 10:30 am on a weekday when it was sprinkling outside. There were surprisingly lots of single diners and we were the only group waiting. A table was ready for us when we arrived and thankfully, we beat the crowd that quickly formed 15 mins later. I was so excited that the menu has largely remained the same!! Savory Pancakes was the perfect plate of a heart attack. I could feel my blood flow slowing down as I chewed. The English breakfast plate was small bites of a lot of flavors and textures. I would skip on the corn bread (it's not the sweet American Southern kind) and stick to whatever it normally comes with. Halloumi and beans were also very good. The music and vibes are just as good as I remember. I'll be back soon T_T hopefully not another two years. read more

I came here during my visit in Paris and I would say this brunch place was the perfect blend of American food with French style. Don't worry about not knowing what to order if you don't speak French, there is an English menu! The people who work there also speak enough English to get by your whole dining experience (something I was worried about). I ventured here on a Wednesday afternoon and there was still a line, but thank goodness I didn't need to wait long (10 minutes for 2 people). I could only imagine how crowded it gets on the weekend, so I would definitely plan to get there earlier. Fortunately, I didn't have to wait long for the food. I had pancakes, egg, and bacon - I know, it sounds basic but somehow Holybelly found a way to outdo themselves. It was really a perfect balance of sweet and savory, just what I love! I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Paris. read more

So I may or may not have gone here 3 times during my trip to Paris. Holybelly was recommended in Fodor's and by the hostel I was staying at. The first time I got scrambled eggs which were probably the beat eggs I've ever had. The second time I got the savory stack of pancakes which was so good!! The butter they use is absolutely amazing and the bacon was super crisp. The third time I got a sweet stack which I liked a lot too (but the savory stack is so much more interesting!!). The coffee and chai are also amazing, but are a little pricey for the size. I think it's a great breakfast or brunch place, but make sure you get there before the crowd. I definitely see why fodor's recommended this place. Truly amazing!! read more

Found this morning on Yelp as we wanted to visit the Le Marais district in Paris. Worthy of its high rating. My wife got the Savory breakfast and I got an heirloom, Buffalo mozzarella special with poached eggs. My favorite though was the sausage patty side I ordered as well as the hot sauce. Definitely recommend it for breakfast. read more

Highly recommend this joint if you're in Paris! The service is incredible and as Americans, it was really nice to meet Americans working here. They're really hospitable and share some great food from the menu. My husband and I came here three times over the course of our trip, it's that good! The flat white is a must try for coffee drinkers and the apple juice is delicious. My favorite part of my meal was always the Haloumi cheese. It's a taste you'll never forget and want more of. Every thing on the menu is good, fried eggs are my favorite. If you desire pancakes, order the savory stack because it's the closest thing to an American style breakfast- but get cheese on the side. Can't say enough great things about this place and loved the people working here! read more

One of the best breakfast/brunch places in Paris! It's true the wait can be a bit long, especially on the weekend, but the food is so worth it. I noticed that many breakfast/brunch places in Paris are overpriced, but this is one of the few places that isn't crazy expensive. The atmosphere is really nice, and the food is amazing. The savory stack is a real show stopper, and I got it almost every time I came here (and if you're vegetarian, you can sub out the bacon on top for one of their delicious sides). I also love how their specials menu changes so often, it keeps it fresh! The coffee, juice, and other drinks are also fab. Couldn't recommend this place enough! read more

I am in awe even a week after about how amazing this place is. I swear it was one of the best breakfasts I've ever had! My friend and I got to the restaurant around 11am on a Monday morning and imagined it probably wouldn't be too busy for a work day but we were taken by surprise when we saw a huge line of people out the door of Holybelly! Thankfully the line moved quick and we were seated within 15 minutes of being in the line! Hospitality and atmosphere was 10/10 and there's also free WiFi! For breakfast I ordered the eggs, sausage, halloumi cheese, sourdough toast, and the special of garlic corn. It was a masterpiece of flavors and I was in true heaven. If there's one thing you should do when you go here it's to order the cheese. It tasted so fresh and was grilled to perfection! The garlic butter from my corn served as a great sauce for my eggs too! I wish I had the stomach for the hash brown because we saw someone else had it and it looked amazing. If you're ever in Paris you should make sure this is a destination to visit! read more

After a couple of days of croissants and continental breakfasts we wanted to try a full breakfast spot. As other reviewers have mentioned there was a line when we arrived around 9:30 on a Saturday morning. They don't take reservations but as they state in their message, the wait wasn't long (about 20 minutes). Seating for 90+ so a decent size. For drinks, a couple of Cappuccinos (bonus-they have oat milk option) and hot chocolate. All very good. We ordered a couple of the Savory stacks and scrambled eggs with 2 sides. Added a side of Hash-brown to try (crispy & very good). The pancakes were tasty although thinner than I'm used to back home. Scrambled eggs were perfect and the house made bacon & sausage were excellent! Overall, solid breakfast spot with friendly and attentive service! read more

Holybelly's hashbrowns have a special place in my heart. The thing is tiny, but it was so crispy and delicious. The dishes were very simple, but crazy good. For instance, their scrambled eggs were devine and they're just that... SCRAMBLED EGGS. I wasn't a big fan of the pancakes. It tasted more like a thick crepe than what I'd call a pancake. I'd pass on this. You can get your sugar fix at the many patisseries surrounding this place. I'm a huge brunch person so my expectations for the "best" brunch in Paris were high and it almost got there. It's not the best brunch I've ever had, but I'd come here again if I had the chance. It's a little pricey, so I wouldn't come here with kids. The service was wonderful despite there seeming to be a perpetual line out the door. read more

Do yourself a favor and pig out at Holybelly. It's not classic French cooking. It's not what you'd expect when in dining in Paris. It's unique, it's down to earth, and it's flat out savory and delectable! Pro tip: arrive before they open, unless you have a fetish for waiting in lines. We showed up a quarter after 9am and we found ourselves waiting in line for 30 minutes. By the time we finished our breakfast, the line was about 7x longer! Holybelly is hella popular! And for good reason. Based off their website, these cats seems as cool as the other side of the pillow. The restaurant is trendy, cute and as the young kids say, "grammable." The menu may seem limited and basic at first glance, but trust me, it will blow you away. Quality over quantity is the name of the game here. First off, their coffee is amazing. The kind where after you take that first sip and you let out an elongated, "ahhhhhhhhhhh." Oh yeah, they take their coffee seriously. The epic order: two fried eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns, which comes with sourdough. You might be saying to yourself, "you went all the way to Paris to eat a classic American breakfast?" Fair point, but also, you have no idea what you are talking about son! When every component on the plate is executed perfectly, it's truly hard to top. Each element was some of the top breakfast food of my day. They truly take their eclectic background to heart and it undeniably shows in the end result. A stunning and remarkable breakfast! To top it all off, our server was as delightful as a warm sunny day. Like, I genuinely felt alive after our breakfast at Holybelly. My smirk became even larger when we noticed the long ass line upon our departure. Do not skip out on this place, I promise you it's worth every penny! read more

This is a really good brunch place if you're looking for one while in Paris Brunch, as it were, is becoming increasingly popular in the French capital. I distinctly remember a time where this word didn't exist in French, and while that was OK in my book (it's not exactly hard to find a good breakfast with or w/o a cocktail in Paris), the addition of pancakes is always cool with me. And let me tell you, the Brit's who work here sell em' almost as good as the french folks in the back make em'; read: the service, pancakes, and everything else here was solid. I did a bit of a DIY, ordering a short stack, sausage side, and potato side. The pancakes were far and away the star of the show (that bourbon syrup..yes please), the potato ball(?) was kind of weird and not my fav, but the sausage was unique and worth trying (it too came in ball shape?). The internet went out as we were wrapping up, which normally would be a "who cares", however, the POS is tied to the internet only, and as such, they couldn't process a card*. We gave them around 30 min to try to reconnect (and shucks I had to have another Moscow mule), but they never did get it working - it was eerie to see the place so empty, as there is a line to get in** (we waited around 15 min to be seated). Speaking of that line, they don't take reservations, and as such, there's no way of knowing how long you'll wait. All in all the place is worth checking out if you're in the mood for some classic brunch food, but if the line is around the block come back another day. _____________ *Do yourself a favor guys and hardwire in your sales system, or get a square reader for someone's phone (thank goodness we had cash). **There is another HB just up the block on the way to the canal; I am presuming it's the same food, so if this place is truly packed and you're dying for a pancake, you can try going up there. read more

The savory stack is my jam. I come here every time I visit Paris and the food never disappoints. BUT, on my last visit I had a disappointing experience with one of the waitstaff. I travel to Paris enough to know that tips are not expected. Our waitress pressed me to give her a tip. When I was paying our bill she asked me how much I was going to tip. I told her that I understood that tips weren't expected or required in Paris. She told me that it wasn't necessarily true. Then she said, "You're going to tip, right?" I reluctantly did but felt really unhappy about the pressure. read more

AMAZING PLACE! I am currently studying abroad in Paris and in one of my classes, Nico, the co-owner of HolyBelly came in to speak about how he started the restaurant! It was really cool to hear his vision and his goal for pursuing this yummy breakfast/brunch place and I had to give it a try! It's catered heavily to tourists I would say, with their menus and their website in English. They bring the classic American items to the table, but add a nice European twist to it in my opinion. FOOD 5/5 Absolutely delicious. You think the portion sizes are small just by looking at it (I was a little bit disappointed that they only gave me one hashbrown) but somehow I was stuffed by the end and couldn't even finish my plate! I got the 2eggs + 2 sides (hashbrown, bacon, and I added baked beans) and it was so yummy. I shared the sweet stack with my friend and something about their pancakes makes it so heavenly??? I don't know how they make them, but they were the best pancakes I've ever had. SERVICE 5/5 Everyone spoke English which was great, but they were also super kind to everyone. You can easily see how chaotic the place can get with tables filled in that small restaurant and waiters/waitresses bustling around trying to cater to everyone, yet they always kept their smile and made you feel welcome. ENVIRONMENT 5/5 Super cute and instagram worthy! It feels a bit like you're in New York I would say. Really tight space as most restaurants in Paris are but it feels cozy. There is usually a line out the door waiting for tables but the line moves pretty quickly (we only waited about 15 minutes, but I hear it can get up to an hour). A MUST EAT IN PARIS! Definitely will be returning soon!! read more

Absolutely great place. Service was great, place was clean, seating was quick and easy with a text system. Got some standard breakfast food and it was all delicious, hot, fresh, and quick. They had a bunch of specials and some great drinks to choose from. When I visited, the special was an Ice Cream Miso Butterscotch Latte and it is still hands down the best coffee i've ever had. Went here again on my birthday on the way out of France, it's a great great restaurant. read more

4 or 5, 4 or 5?! Okay I went with 4. But so close. We came in around 1000 on a Sunday and we're seated right away. We had a train later and they had no problem storing our bags during our meal. They had wifi available and it was fast and free, can't complain about that. The menu had so many great options but we ended up going with the special breakfast (huevos rancheros) we added the chicken and got a sausage patty. I saw the sausage walking by and had to try it. We also tried the coffee on special and I got the homemade soda. Homemade soda was bomb. I want to learn to make homemade soda now. The coffee was so good we bought a bag of beans to take with us. Now to the main event, the food. SO GOOD. and there was so much. We could have ordered one to share between the two of us. The sausage was amazing, very sagey. It almost reminded me of thanksgiving. The only drawback was the chicken in the heuvos rancheros. It just didn't feel like it got the same care as all of the other elements of the breakfast, like it was an afterthought. So while it was fine, I absolutely wish I hadn't added it to my meal since it ended up sitting on the edge of the plate while I destroyed everything else. Will most definitely be returning. read more
