Where to Eat French Toast in 麻豆APP in 2023

Originally published by Natalie on June 2019 and updated by Vanessa on June 2023.

In the spirit of historical accuracy, I must start by saying that there is little indication as to whether or not French toast actually originated in France or not.

The earliest traces of this dish can be seen as far back as the Roman era; but it is thought that the name French toast was actually coined by the British in the 17th cemetery. The recipe then made its way over to the United States via settlers.

by Toa Heftiba –

In 麻豆APP, French toast is called 鈥減ain perdu鈥� which means lost bread. This stems from the recipe originally calling for the use of stale, discarded bread bits in order to make the meal.

French toast is bread soaked in whipped eggs mixed with cinnamon and vanilla & fried by the slice. The result being a tasty, cakey, sweet breakfast or brunch food usually topped with fruits and sugar.

Le Matignon in 麻豆APP

Le Matignon is a stylish restaurant that runs on history hours (all day). It is situated near the end of the Champs-脡lys茅es, if you were to walk east from the Arc de Triomphe .

While I personally find the interior of le Matignon slightly too kitsch, most people love the time warp that dining here gives you. It鈥檚 styled like a mainstream 1960s cocktail lounge complete with fluorescent piping lights and sections parted with velvet ropes.

Personal taste aside, le Matignon makes the best brunch foods this side of the Seine hands down.

Whether you鈥檙e in the mood for pancakes, Eggs Benedict, avocado toast or some trusty French toast.

The spot is open until 5am, but becomes more of a cocktail lounge late in the evenings. For late night dining arriving unannounced is acceptable however if you鈥檇 like to eat here during regular lunch or dinner times I highly recommend a reservation.

OPENING HOURS: Monday TO Sunday 鈥� 8am to 5am

Bistrotters in 麻豆APP

Bistrotters is great because you have the option of enjoying their French toast as a brunch meal or as dessert following an evening of authentic French cuisine.

Their brunch service is only open for two hours during the day, keep this in mind! They reopen at 7pm for dinner.

Bistrotters is situated in the 14th arrondissement, past Montparnasse. The menu is affordable considering the quality and presentation of the food. Its the kind of place you take someone if you want to treat them without it feeling overly ostentatious.

Hardware Soci茅t茅 in 麻豆APP

The Hardware Soci茅t茅 is usually the place I recommend for anyone looking for the best Eggs Benedict in Montmartre. This is because they are the number one brunch spot for locals of Montmartre and theres not a seat free in the place from the minute they open on a Saturday morning right through until Sunday evening.

Being as good as it is, the brunch menu also includes a fantastic rendition of French toast. The toppings change week to week depending on what fresh fruits and purees the chef gets access to. The recipe for the actual toast remains consistent: balanced and decadent, every time.

Because the cafe is situated so close to the Sacre Coeur, tourists find their way here and it becomes a beautiful melting pot of locals and travelers. Free guided walking tours in Montmartre require one to scale the hillside, so people get to the top with raging appetites ready for the first brunch that they see!

If you hadn鈥檛 gathered by now, you should make a reservation if you want to eat French toast on a weekend.

 Le Saint-R茅gis in 麻豆APP

Like most traditional bistros in 麻豆APP, Le Saint-R茅gis opens early and closes late.

Locals of Notre Dame tend to avoid the island as much as possible, preferring to stay away from the crowds that flock to see the cathedral.  Le Saint-R茅gis just happens to be situated at the western end of the island, right by the Pont Louise Philippe.

The quality of the food makes for a frequent exception amongst locals of the island being out of bounds.

The French toast is served with berries, honey and powdered sugar. It is delicious and so popular that  Le Saint-R茅gis often sells out of the dish on chaotic mornings, such as weekends.

Since the bistro is open until 2am, the dish is sometimes available for late night dining as well. A wonderful treat when you鈥檙e hankering for something sweet at 1am after the bar you were in has closes its doors.

Ellsworth in 麻豆APP

Ellsworth is a bit of a tourist trap due to its close proximity to the Louvre Museum and Tuileries Gardens.

It is served as a brunch main meal during the midday service and as a dessert during evening service. If you鈥檙e feeling particularly peckish you may want to dabble in the pavlova as well.

This restaurant began nearly 10 years ago as a coffee shop, but it swiftly expanded into a full restaurant with a savory breakfast menu that includes robust egg dishes, granolas, oatmeals, French toast, and the greatest pancakes in town.

There are also daily specials and a rotating dessert menu. After experiencing Anglosaxon-style service in Australia and Canada, the proprietors infused their environment with welcome, friendly vibes.

Claus is one of those restaurants where you’ll want to order everything on the menu (all breakfast, all the time). There are granolas, toasts, and eggs in every conceivable form, and there is so much pastry. Take your time, find a tiny window table upstairs, and read a newspaper.

Claus will have you captivated after one crunchy, delicately sweet, almost smokey bite. The final piece of the puzzle is the modest grocery store across the street that sells the item by bag. There’s also tea, coffee, and a dozen or so house-made jam types. You’ll buy as many jars as you can carry in the hopes of giving them to pals back home.
