American Breakfast in Paris
A 50s diner, no big deal - but a 50s diner in the midst of Paris offers a surreal, Lynch-like experience.
Brunch (pancakes, bacon, eggs, a "Bottomless Mug O'Joe"...) is served at all hours of the day. The plus; they also serve beer.
The scene is mostly made up of Parisian hipsters, nostalgic foreigners, and the occasional French greaser. Personally, I'd go for the banana milkshakes after a vintage movie screening at Action Ecoles.
Open 8:30 am to 11:00 pm

i like the pancakes and maple syrup. Must have been a success as they opened the new branch in the marais.

After 5 weeks in Paris with croissant/pain au chocolat breakfasts nearly every day, I was delighted to discover American Breakfast. The bacon and eggs were wonderful as was the orange juice. The staff was very polite. Glad to see it's been a success and opened another branch in the Marais.
