Montpellier is a beautiful and trendy southern French city with no desire to be left behind, so it is adapting to the new brunch trends wonderfully. We’ve put together a list of the best spots to try.
Fairview Coffee
This cute coffee shop situated in the center of Montpellier, minutes from the Place de la Comédie, is not only a great place to stop for a relaxing cup of coffee but also one of the best places in the city to go for a delicious brunch. It has the feel of an American or Anglo-Saxon coffee shop, rather than a typical French one, but that will just make homesick visitors feel even better. The brunch has a great selection of both sweet and savory food.
One of the best and newest brunches in Montpellier is that served at Manhattan Coffee, a cute cafe with a cosmopolitan feel. The sunny terrace makes for a great place in which to enjoy the great southern French weather. The cafe also has an amazing selection of sweet and savory treats, including freshly-pressed orange juice and some yummy desserts. The service is quick and friendly and the atmosphere vivacious, complementing the food to create the perfect place for a relaxing and filling Sunday brunch.

This restaurant is one of the best in Montpellier, as its innovative approach to food charms tourists. Here the dishes are served in cylindrical cups, with the ingredients layered in such a way that they not only complement each other in regards to the flavors and textures, but also aesthetically, making for beautiful culinary displays. For brunch, visitors can try some of their tasty desserts, flavorsome meals or refreshing drinks, all in a modern environment. It is in an excellent location in Montpellier’s old town, minutes away from the cathedral and other top attractions.
French Connection is a great restaurant in the center of Montpellier, and although it does not offer brunch menus per se, it is quite easy for visitors to arrange to have their own brunch here, combining several of the delicious options on the menu. Their eggs Benedict are outstanding and their lush milkshakes will give anyone a decent dose of sugary goodness for a while. To top it all off, the service is quick, efficient and friendly. Visitors are sure to enjoy a laid-back brunch experience at this cafe.
Mary Cherry is an American-inspired cafe that has some of the best cupcakes in Montpellier. Many locals and tourists come here for the delicious cupcakes, which are famous around the city. However, not many are aware that this cafe also offers a succulent Sunday brunch. Their donuts, bagels, cakes, eggs and other foods combine together to create a meal that balances sweet and savory, but it is the sweet-toothed who will truly appreciate the flavors at this locale.
La Panacée
La Panacée is one of Montpellier’s gems, a lively museum that has interactive exhibitions and a great restaurant that will immediately immerse visitors in a fun, French atmosphere. Their Sunday brunch is excellent: travelers are able to get a hot drink, fruit juice and access to a great buffet that strikes the perfect balance between the sweet and the savory options for brunch. Weather permitting, it is also possible to sit outside on their lovely patio.
