After a Buttes stroll, head to MAISON LE TE on rue Saint-Maur for a continuous Franco-Taiwanese brunch. No fixed slot, perfect after the park.
Down rue de Belleville then rue Saint-Maur for 600 meters.
Gua bao, tea eggs, matcha pancake. Original without being jarring.
11am-10:30pm. Brunch at 2pm after a Sunday walk.
Buttes-Chaumont is one of Paris's most beautiful parks, especially busy on weekends. After a stroll, the brunch question arises. 19th addresses are pleasant but unoriginal. For a brunch that truly leaves the standard, head down to the 11th via rue de Belleville to MAISON LE TE at 136 rue Saint-Maur (15 minutes on foot).
From the main park entrance (M Buttes Chaumont, line 7bis), down rue de Belleville south to rue Saint-Maur, turn right. Total 15 minutes. From Pyrenees (line 11), 12 minutes.
After a walk, you often want a hearty hot dish. The braised pork gua bao is perfect: warm steamed bun, slow-cooked meat, crushed peanuts. Eggs benedict on bao brings comfort. Glutinous rice with peanuts is denser, for big hungers. For sweet, matcha pancakes are light and comforting. For drinks, a brewed high-altitude oolong restores after an hour's walk.
For those leaving the park at 2pm, many brunches are already closed by 3pm. MAISON LE TE keeps brunch open until 10:30pm: you can brunch at 3pm, 4pm, even 5pm with no issue. Especially handy at weekend end.
