A true gem. Came here while walking around the Sacre Couar. Very cute spot overlooking the hill. Really well designed breakfast spot. We had the scrambled eggs and some coffees. They have these amazing little doughnut balls they serve with every coffee. They make these fresh every day. We will definitely be back for the French toast or the cake of the day. Both looked amazing! Shoutout to our waitress Val. She was so helpful and funny. Would come back just chat with her again.
A little down under comes to the city of love! The food was delicious, fresh and tasty! The baguettes were fresh and soft. The flavors to the chorizo and eggs was something different for me as I'm so use to Mexican chorizo. But the fries added to the pot brought everything together! Explosion with every bite. The pulled pork bun was a variety of textures that all blended so well together. The fried sticky rice with the pork was the perfect Combo. The burrata was a simple plate. The burrata tasted fresh and melted in your mouth. Let's talk about the Hot chocolate! Actually just taste it! The pot comes with enough for about two servings. And it's to die for! The staff was attentive and knowledgeable. The space was welcoming and warm on the cold April morning!
This place was a 40 second walk from the Basilica Sacre Couer. It's an artsy area with many musicians, artists, painters, dancers, and creators. I had actually looked up best breakfast in the area of Montmarte and this and Lou Lou's popped up. Lou Lou's seemed rocking and rolling and also looked good but we chose Hardware Societe. Our waitress was from Texas which I welcomed the English. My wife and I started with croissants - I chose the chocolate croissant - they were thin and perfectly flaky, the layer of chocolate was just right. The orange juice was filled with pulp - it was so tasty I had a second glass. My wife ordered the mushrooms and boiled eggs with baguette. I ordered "scrambled eggs" but it was French scrambled. I'm an "egg person" - I use eggs for fuel for weight lifting and satiety; eggs are great so I already knew about this style of scrambled egg and have attempted to cook on my own. Mine were good but this is Paris! These eggs were the best I have ever had in 48 years. They also came with some corn salsa on the side that was slightly spicy. It was actually also delicious; but, the eggs alone were perfection! I highly recommend Hardware Societe for breakfast! We chose to eat outside but inside was small but decorated very nicely. The bathroom was pristine! Also the staff was extremely friendly. We saw the cook notice a small boy getting upset waiting in line for the bathroom, so he gave the boy a huge handful of giant raspberries! It was a selfless thing to do and the chef's gesture was genuine. Our waitress from Texas and all the waitresses are artists in some way - be it painting or music. We shall definitely return here!
Amazing food in a very touristy part of france, very close to the cathedral so it can be a quick pit stop before or after those hundreds of steps one might have to endure. We came on a cold spring morning for a brunch the huge portion size and an unusual French style breakfast made our day. Most favorite was the brioche toast aka the French toast with beautiful edible flowers and pana cotta . The baked egg with shrimps was good a bit gooey and cheesy, the scrambled egg with bacon with the thinly sliced potatoes were amazing. The best Matcha I had tried in many months hands down. The service was fast very friendly English speaking staff. A must visit if you are in this area and looking for somewhat of a change from usual dry croissant breakfast
Stopped in for lunch after visiting the Church just because it was close by... and what a wonderful surprise. This was one of the best meals I ate in Paris during my week long visit. The staff were attentive and kind, the cafe itself was adorable, and the food WAS DELICIOUS. Everyone in my family was so impressed and we would eat there all the time if we could. Hopefully we'll be back to Paris to eat again. Highly recommend!
Service was great from the moment we answered we felt welcome and were seated immediately. We were given suggestions about food to try that's only on the menu for the day. We were told the chef cook special dishes that are not repeated. Food was great. Everything appeared organic and was made to order. The hot chocolate was delicious and filling not drinking the whole thing before your meal. The ambiance of this place seems like a great place for family or friends to gather. read more
Delicious food, wonderful location, and great service! Unlike many cafes in Paris, this is on a quiet (at least on Monday) side street in Montmatre. We sat outside for brunch on a beautiful day. We started with drinks - cappuccino and (finally! Oat milk!) lattes, as well as hot chocolate. Everything was sublime and so damn pretty, too. We each got something different so we could try a variety - scrambled eggs for mom, baked eggs with goat cheese and mushrooms, and Toulouse sausage. Omg delicious! The sausage was so flavorful, the potato was a mess of cheese and butter and incredibly amazingly good, the poached eggs were perfect, and the tomatoes were super flavorful. Everyone else enjoyed their meals too, and the bites of their meals were superb as well. So do so good!! read more
This place is super close to the Basilica Sacre Couer so it's a good brunch option for when you are in the area for the basilica or to wander around a cool neighborhood. The restaurant does feel more catered for folks from the Anglosphere - most people in the restaurant were speaking English. I ordered the duck confit and it was good - nothing was objectionable but nothing was outstanding either. I would come here again but I wouldn't really go out of my way to visit. read more

Food quality, presentation and service were exemplary. They were attentive and careful with an eating companion who had a food allergy. They came to double check and alerted us that they would substitute one item without our prompting. Prices were reasonable and I am a very happy customer read more

I came here and had the Baked Tofu. Their menu has so many delicious items and it was hard to choose one. This is close to the Basilica of Sacre-Coeur so you can swing by here before or after your visit to the church. read more

This restaurant is located near by the Sacrè- Coeur Basilica. It's a must for some good breakfast. It's a small restaurant so be prepared to wait or when you even get seated, be prepared to wait... What we ordered: Fried toast/brioche - topped with delicious berries and cream. Scrambled eggs with salmon and potatoes with a brioche bun. Hearty and good dish. Matcha latte- perfectly made and rich. Orange juice- fresh and refreshing. Food is a 5 star in category with fresh / good quality ingredients used. Not your average cafe or breakfast place in Paris. Service is more like 2-3 star. They were extremely busy and just placing a order took awhile plus trying to get the check was tough too. If you have time- this place is excellent. If your on a time crunch to see multiple sightings of Paris then it might not be for you. ~ read more
At the top of many many stairs. It is literally on a side street next to Sacré Coeur. And the only way to get to the top of this small mountain is many many sets of stairs, no matter what direction you come from. So we were extra hungry on our arrival. Saturday noonish there is a line outside to be seated. Get your name on the list. Line moves faster for couples than bigger parties. I believe our wait was 20 minutes. Inside is tight. Well duh, still in Europe. There's a front dining area and a back. Back has a view of the city if you are close enough to the large window. Menu is breakfast brunch. I went with a chai latte. It was very hot and extra foamy, delicious. Also the pork belly and fried eggs. The pork belly was a very generous portion drizzled with a delicious tomato jam. The crispy edge of the pork and sweet jam were a fabulous combination. Two sunny side up eggs were riding on a thick slice of hearty multi grain bread, and dusted with a smoky paprika. The potato and bacon croquets were also big and extremely hot. More deliciousness. Over all meal - kicked the plate clean. read more
First day in Paris and WOW!! This breakfast was hard to top off. Came in around opening time before heading to Disneyland Paris. It was about a 10 minute walk from the nearest Metro. Did a little digging on Yelp on some menu itmes before coming in. We were welcomed right away and seated by the bench. My fiancé ordered a Cold Brew and I got a Latte. Wow, they were both the best coffee we have ever tasted and a great way to start our trip in Paris. I ordered a croissant on the side, and their brioche. One plate is plenty for two trust me. If you are in Paris, then please stop by. It is originally an Australian coffee shop to my surprise. It made me honestly want to go to Australia to check out their coffee spots. read more
WARNING: ONLY GOOD CAPPUCCINO IN PARIS are you american? Or Italian? Or a country that drinks coffee? Then, you will only like the coffee here while in Paris. I don't know why, I don't know how, I don't know if baristas are on strike, but this is the one place for good coffee. The food is really good too. But I refuse to drink coffee anywhere else. read more
First, there will likely be a line when you get there. The food is worth the wait! The crispiest pork belly I've ever had, which was perfectly seasoned and cooked. I had a small mishap trying to cut it because I underestimated the CRUST on that thing (lol). The Fried Brioche is delightful. The bread in Paris is just better overall, but this brioche was so buttery on it's own. It comes with creme fraiche and berries on top, which aren't super sweet - somebody like me who DOESN'T have a sweet tooth can enjoy it! Also, the drizzle is a hibiscus syrup. In general, I'm sold when I see hibiscus in a drink or dessert. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Oh! The chocolat chaud (hot chocolate) comes "deconstructed" - a scoop of buttery chocolate in a teacup, with cocoa'd warm milk in a pot for you to poor on your own. LOVED IT. I don't even like chocolate, people! French chocolate isn't overly sweet and doesn't coat my mouth the same way US versions do. read more
Finding a brunch spot in a foreign country can be a daunting task, so let me make this easier - eat here! After scouring the internet and Instagram for my first brunch of my Paris trip, the unique menu, charming interior, Montmartre location, and rave reviews lured me in. We walked in on a weekday at 1pm without any wait. The order: Sweet for me. Savory for him. Tuna Millefeuille: Definitely on the lighter side in terms of portions, but so fresh and delicious. The yuzu aioli has a zing that paired perfectly with the seared tuna. Yum! Fried Brioche: Equal parts pretty & indulgent. Your standard French toast is elevated with a pink meringue top, a little hard to eat, but I took a bite after enjoying the brioche. Delicious! read more

It's actually been a while since I've been here, so the photos I've attached are actually from 2019 .. oops! Despite the time between my experience and the review, this place has surely made an impression on me and I'm still referring this place to friends to this day. This Australian French cafe is the sweetest thing! My friend and I (note: part of 2) got here pretty early, but it was still super packed. We were asked to wait across the street and we slowly filtered in as tables emptied up. I opted for the FRIED BRIOCHE and although it's seemingly small, it's decadence was more than enough for me and left me stuffed. There were so many different textures and flavors - definitely worth a go if you have a sweet tooth for breakfast. Their cappucino was also pretty good and standard, can't go wrong. Definitely kept me energized throughout my day. TLDR: 12/10 I MISS IT TAKE ME BACK read more

Great location right by the Basilica of the Sacred Heart! The place was very well decorated! I ordered the tuna millefeuille and it was delicious and beautifully presented! One of the eggs was a bit overcooked but the taste completely made up for it! The avocado purée made the whole dish taste super fresh! The service was relatively fast considering we came during the middle of a lunch rush. I highly recommend stopping here while sightseeing! read more
After making the hike to this beautiful area with a view, you might think you hiked to Melbourne, Australia where the original Hardware Societe is. Every item on the menu has an interesting twist that takes the dish to another level. They have a menu for everyone that covers vegan, vegetarian and tree nut allergies. The duck was cooked perfectly and the sides were delicious. Save room for dessert because their version of bread pudding with raspberries, fresh mint and lemon is out-of-this-world. read more
My friends and I stayed in Paris September 2022, in Montmarte specifically. And let me tell you the Hardware Societe was the highlight of our paris trip in terms of food. The interiors and vibes are absolutely amazing. The servers are extremely friendly and the dishes are sooo unique. We split the special brioche of the day and each got coffee drinks. The brioche was absolutely delicious. My first meal there was the eggs with tomatoes and bread. We fell in love so much with this place we came back for round 2 our final day in Paris. Top notch quality food Our last day we got hot chocolate with our breakfast because it was so cold outside and of course it was also amazing. genuinely some of the best brunch I've ever had. read more

We came across this place while walking around Sacre Couer. Valerie, our hostess, was very warm and friendly, speaks fluent English and has been a great hostess.Our table had a view of the street. The restaurant is cozy but not crowded or crammed, spacious for Paris. We ordered the smoked salmon on pancakes, veggie baked egg and croissant with jams. Everything we ate was excellently prepared and delicious, but the salmon was the star of the show. I believe there was a pound of smoked salmon on the plate. The baked eggs were topped with Brillat Savarin melted into the pot allowing to taste the cheese with every bite. I have not had a bad croissant in Paris and this is one of them. Overall very clean and excellent experience. Would definitely recommend for breakfast . read more

Thank goodness for yelp and discovering The Hardware Societe because up until my meal here, everything I had in Paris sucked :( Although I can't remember the exact names of the breakfast plates we had, I will say for certain it was delicious, filling, and worth every euro! Not to mention it is within walking steps to the Sacre-Couer so you get a delicious meal, and an amazing view and tour of the beautiful Church afterwards. Service was friendly and food came quick, and I will always remember The Hardware Societe as the best meal I had in Paris. I highly recommend it to anyone but especially those from the States like myself who need more than a croissant and coffee for breakfast! See pics attached :) read more
BE PREPARED TO WAIT. Once inside it's cozy .... read tight! But it's so worth it. The signature dish is pork belly. The pork belly was cooked to buttery perfect. Eggs done right and hardy toast. They have tons of fresh baked goods and other brunch options but with limited time in Paris, I opted for the signature dish. It's one of the only places in Paris that If you sneeze they'll say "bless." Why? The owner is Australian. Not sure how he wound up in Paris but I'm glad he did! read more
It's the best place for breakfast in Paris! The owners are from Australia. You would find here a lot of options for brunch and breakfast. We had scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and brioche and eggs Benedict with crab and brioche. Coffee is excellent here. They serve an Australian blend of coffee. Very dog friendly. We gonna come back here for sure! P.S: you can buy their recipe book here. read more
Came here one morning for brunch because it was recommended by a friend and I have to say, it was a very solid brunch spot. A little small but cozy and quaint! The staff were busy but friendly and definitely attentive! I would recommend this restaurant. read more
