The Best Brunch And Late Breakfast Spots In Metz France

The northeastern French city of Metz is home to many historical and cultural wonders, including the Centre Pompidou-Metz contemporary art museum. Today, Metz is often referred to as the ‘Green City’ for its status as a destination for urban ecology and public parks/gardens. Whatever your plans are in this delightful Moselle city, start off with a tasty breakfast at one of the best brunch or breakfast spots.

The fixed-price brunch at this restaurant (under 18 euros for adults and 10 for kids) is available from 11 am-4 pm and provides great value for a lovely array of options, including an assortment of freshly-baked breads with jams and other spreads, as well as fresh-squeezed orange juice and even egg sandwiches.
