Zia

Stopped by Zia for brunch. it’s a small, cutr, cozy place with a nice vibe. We tried their brunch formule (€28), which includes granola with Greek yogurt, a hot drink, fresh juice, and a main dish. Presentation was great, and the staff were friendly and quick. The Dutch baby pancake with fruit was definitely eye-catching and tasty, but it came out a bit oily for our taste. Still enjoyable, but could’ve been lighter. Tried shakshouka for the first time too, eggs in tomato sauce, feta cheese with peppers, onions, and spices. Not bad at all! Not a bad brunch spot if you’re in the area and looking for something a little different from the typical Parisian café breakfast. (And most restaurants nearby are more touristy)

Wow. We had the brunch formula (aka fixed price for 4 things). The granola, yogurt and fruit were awesome. The fresh squeezed OJ and espresso were good as well but...the star of the show..the bacon Dutch baby with eggs,cheese and bacon! I'll be back!!!

Nice cosy place walking distance from Eiffel Tower and the gardens. Full marks for service but not a very big place and not a lot of choice on the menu I must say. I ordered the fluffy pancakes with eggs/bacon for the kids. They were really good. And I tried the Shakshuka.. it was good but too much of the tomato sauce... maybe that's how Shakshuka is supposed to be; then maybe it's not for me.... Would love to see more items on the menu and maybe more space for me to come back. Things are a little tight here. But food is good 👍

An amazing small cosy place in the heart of Paris! We just had a brunch and it was amazing, since it was really delicious! The owner made the experience better with his good humor and knowledge of different languages! 5/5!

Very tiny hole in the wall but amazing service and breakfast. Expect to wait in line if needed. Goes fast.

The place is nice, the food is tasty, but organization and service is really bad. The waitress is not speaking English/french so taking the orders wrong. She mistaked basically everything in our order, brunch menu, coffee, the main dish. We even didn’t finish to eat she came and asked if she ca bring the bill 🤷‍♀️then even the bill was wrong… Even if the food was tasty, but service is important too. Also the place is very small, noisy, the tables are really close to each other and no place for the waiter to pass. So not a place where you can take time and enjoy. Also in the entry it is written wait until someone comes, but no one is going out to check the queue, so people are basically entering as they fed up waiting in front. I think there is a lot of work to do in terms of management and service. Pity…

The best shakshuka of my life! I stumbled upon this little gem in Paris and I’m so glad I did. The shakshuka was hands down the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly spiced, rich in flavor, and served with warm bread that made it even more comforting. The place itself is super cute and cozy, with a welcoming atmosphere that made me want to stay all afternoon. What really made the experience extra special were the two people working there—one of them I think might have been the owner, and the other was a lovely woman originally from the States. She was incredibly sweet, and we ended up chatting for a while. You can really feel the heart and soul they put into this place. Highly recommend if you’re in Paris and looking for something delicious, authentic, and full of charm. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!

We happen to stumble upon this place for breakfast! My husband and I ordered the same dish. It was so worth it and the prices were reasonable! Our waitress was bilingual so we could easy communicate in English. They have limited seating since it’s a smaller place, but we didn’t have to wait at all when we got there. The bathrooms are downstairs.

Best breakfast we've had the entire Europe trip!!! The service was so friendly and impeccable, the vibe is cute in there, and the food was AMAZING!!! 10/10

Really great food and a cozy atmosphere. Zia seems to be a loved location from tourists and locals alike. Like all restaurants in Paris, be prepared for very slow service. You'll likely have to queue up to get in and, once in, you'll be there for a while. Buts a great place for a tasty breakfast in the heart of the city.

Small but doable! We walked in and were able to be seated right away. Three of us. The owner is from New Mexico but has been here in Paris for 12 years. We ordered American coffees. Lemon cake & the Baby pancakes that had pears on them omg so goodt! Food came out immediately! So friendly & great atmosphere! Had american music playing lightly. Abocado toast was amazing also. The american coffee was good but a bit too strong for me as I am not a big coffee drinker. The French use milk instead of creamer for their coffee which was another difference I noticed in Paris not just here. The restataunt was full but as I said we were seated immediately. I would not recommend for big parties (anything 5 or more). Mostly tables of 2 but two tables of 4 were available and possibly can squeeze 6 into the one table of 2 & 4 that were next to each other.

Can't say enough good things about this place. The food was to die for. I don't even like bacon, but whatever they do to the bacon in the Dutch baby is addicting, I couldn't get enough of it. The set breakfast is a lot of food, but the sweetness of the granola and fruit yogurt offset the savory of the Dutch baby in the perfect way so I'm glad I got it. Coffee was excellent, service was excellent. It's very small so expect to wait if you go at the height of breakfast/lunch, but it's well worth it.

Very small, cozy spot, the ambiance was great, the server was also very helpful and friendly. I had the Dutch baby pancakes topped with Bacon, comté cheese, organic fried egg, and maple syrup. The food was finger licking good.

Long wait as the place can only fit like 20 people but healthy food for those looking for a break from all the cheese, foie gras and heavy meats.

Loved, loved loved this quaint little spot, food was absolutely delicious and perfect, owner was very helpful to us tourists and even gave some food/bar options for other countries we we're going to be visiting during our vacation. Thank you

Cute little cafe around the corner from our hotel. We usually go to Lale in the sunset for their sweet Dutch baby pancakes on weekends only. These were savory and was amazing with the bacon, eggs, and maple syrup.

I wish I could give this 10 stars. We are here twice in our short visit to Paris. Two words, Dutch Baby. The breakfast deal is a steal and worth every euro. The dutch baby is honestly a breakfast dream come true and a deliciously filling breakfast dish. The staff is super fun and nice. The coffee drinks were amazing and they had fresh squeezed orange juice. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend this spot.

This place is so good we went twice on our visit to Paris. The brunch is delicious. We got the breakfast combo which included a oat latte( which by the way is so hard to find in Paris). The green juice of the day,A breakfast burrito and the most delicious homemade granola with yoghurt you will ever eat. The meal was €35 but you definitely get a lot of food. The menu also includes Dutch pancakes, avocado toast etc. Also tried the avocado toast it was delicious. Both times we were there there was a lineup to get in. There isn't much seating it's a very small restaurant so go early or expect to wait for a bit. They have manyVegan and vegetarian options and the service was very friendly. I highly highly recommend this place for breakfast or lunch when you get sick of having bread and cheese for breakfast every morning.

Very nice cozy environment - great food and Tessa was very kind - The menu is very precise and to the point so everything is fresh & home made. We had the burrito carnitas - Dutch baby with bacon - the smoke carrot soup - cappuccino. - The juices were also superb. This is a must if you are in the area. Very reasonably priced !

We had just arrived in the early AM from a very long flight from Los Angeles and checked in to our hotel but of course our room was not ready and we were very hungry. We found Zia and was greeted by friendly smiles. We ordered the fresh made "Dutch baby" and was not disappointed. Yum yum yum The service as well was top notch and very friendly. FYI English speaking staff

GREAT breakfast and good service. Always recommend this place to friends visiting Paris.

The savory and the sweet Dutch baby pancake were excellent. It's too much for one person. A couple of our group ordered the breakfast burrito and seemed happy with those. Although I think they wanted more sauce (salsa/red sauce). The space is one narrow room. It feels like an international cafe. Maybe that was because of the staff or the menu. Services was very nice.

"Catherine Deneuve is the man I've always wanted to be." - Gerard Depardieu, famous French actor After museum hopping in the 14th arrondissement of Paris I was famished and in the need of something filling. I don't think escargot or crepes will fill me, so I turn to Yelp for answers. I want to go where the Parisians go... Visiting Napoléon was fun, well actually Napoléon's tomb. I begin my search for something in the 'hood. Several restaurants looked promising, but Zia Paris popped and it's only three city blocks away. I look at my watch and it's early afternoon as I nervously hope this spot isn't closed after lunch and before dinner like some places are. I take my chances and let serendipity guide me over. I arrive... Bonjour. I arrive to a hopping restaurant filled with young Parisians & the yuppie types. Hipster-ish and loud. Every table is filled with couples, friends, small families. The hostess walks up to me and speaks fluent French. And of course my 2nd grade French is that obviously, so she quickly gives me a big smile and says "we're closing soon but I'll be more than happy to serve you"... oui, oui, in her most perfect southwestern English drawl. Oh, she's American studying in Paris I think to myself lol. "Merci Beaucoup" I politely respond, and grab the only seat available. Fortunately the table was at the end... it would have been quite awkward if I was in the middle table between two families lol. I am handed the menu. I immediately notice a Breakfast Burrito and the House Zia Margarita and place my order. In a flash my drink sits in front of me - it's refreshing with a nice kick! She also brings a carafe of Paris water. I observe how lively it is while I wait for my lunch. The little French boy next to me enjoying playing peek-a-boo! I guess I resembled Uncle Jacques or Françoise? Kids love me for some reason lol. The Breakfast Burrito arrives with Guacamole and a smooth Red Chile Sauce. The Burrito is filled with Scrambled Eggs, Cheese, Black Beans, and Beef (my choice). It was delicious, hearty, and exactly what I was craving. No, it wasn't French, but it had a French twist and the place is a hit with Parisians and tourists alike. In the end, I recommend Zia Paris if in the 14th arrondissement of Paris. It's just a stones throw from the Musée Rodin and walking distance from La Eiffel. I later found out the owner is Franco-American, so the menu is a blend of Southwestern America with Northern France. A fun spot to be seen. And no worries if your French is a little rusty. Mon petit chouchou;P Je t'aime!

The best service and friendly with the best food and breakfast was perfect! Worth any wait, although we were here on a Monday 11am and had no wait. Best in Paris Don't miss this quaint place with delicious food

I came here for a solo brunch around noon on a rainy Wednesday in November 2019. The café was already very busy at the time, but there were a few small tables available and I was seated immediately. The décor inside is really cute. Because the café is so small, all the tables are really close together, but that's pretty common in a lot of places in Paris and other big cities, and I think it adds a certain coziness to the ambiance. The owner speaks English and French, and the menu is also available in English and French. There were a lot of tasty-looking options on the menu, including avocado toast, a breakfast burrito, and the Dutch baby pancakes (savory and sweet options). I went with the Dutch baby pancake with veggies and an egg, since I'd wanted to try a Dutch baby pancake for awhile after watching a recipe video a couple months back. I also ordered a noisette coffee. The noisette came out first, in a cute, tiny little cup; I think it was nice that they did some "latte art" for a even a small coffee. My Dutch baby pancake came out several minutes later, piping hot in a cast-iron skillet (the server warned me to be careful with it). The seasonal veggies were sweet potatoes, microgreens, and red onions, served with melting goat cheese, an egg, and maple syrup drizzled over it. The sweet potato portion was generous and filling, and I thought the syrup really complimented the goat cheese very well. I also loved the pancake itself; it was very airy and soft. I'd gladly get it again, and would love to try the sweet option one day. The menu here is a bit on the pricy side for brunch/lunch food, but I felt it was worth it for the quality/quantity, especially keeping in mind it's Paris. I was able to use my American debit card to pay without any issues. The women sitting at the neighboring table got the avocado toast and the breakfast burrito and seemed really pleased with their orders as well. In speaking to the owner, it seems everything (including desserts) is made in-house, with the exception of bread for toast, which is (understandably) sourced from local boulangeries. I'd definitely recommend stopping by here if you're in Paris and want a cute brunch/lunch!

If we would have found this restaurant on day one of our trip I probably would have gone everyday. The wait was about 35 minutes for a table for 2, but it was worth it. The inside of the restaurant is very cozy. I think there are about 7 tables all together. If you're traveling with a small child leave the stroller or car seat in the car or at your hotel for this visit. Fortunately we were seated toward the back, so my car seat wasn't in the way, but it was very awkward trying to make sure we weren't in the way with the seat. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, but I still recommend leaving any bulky items if you can. I ordered the Dutch baby with the bacon and eggs and a flat white. This was my first time trying a Dutch baby, so I don't have anything to compare to, but it was absolutely delicious. I could have eaten another one later that day. It had the perfect amount of sweat and savory. I will be going back if/when I return to Paris.

A quaint little restaurant, at first glance you might only think it's a small coffee shop! Exceptional quality, great price and very friendly staff. We loved our food, just exceptional!

Miam miam! What a nice surprise, best breakfast yet in Paris. The flavors were blended so well and the coffee selection was superb. The owners had a keen eye for service. There was a group that wanted mimosas, so the owner delivered the bubbly from a sister restaurant around the corner...so, naturally, we had to check out the sister restaurant named Milagro. We plan to have a meal there as well.

Excellent, would highly recommend. I had the burrito and my wife had the granola fruit bowl. Both were tasty!

One of the best breakfasts I've ever had.  And that was just the start. The location is great, near the Eiffel Tower and around the corner from the École Militaire metro stop. We discovered it because it was literally across the street from our hotel. Because they don't open until 10 on the weekdays, we had to plan a day where we slept in to have breakfast here. It was well worth it. At first impression, the eatery is small, bright, and cozy and we were given the friendliest greeting but our server. The menu (in both French and English) was simple and inviting. My wife had this dish called a Dutch Baby Pancake. I've never heard of it before and now I kinda feel like my life was incomplete until now. It's hearty and delicious and perfect fuel for a day of sightseeing and gallery strolling. I had the special of the day which was an Argentinian style steak and eggs. It was cooked to perfection and the chimichurri was on point. My wife's latte was delicious and my mimosa was delightfully fresh. The fact that they had The Cure's entire catalog playing for the duration of our meal only made our experience more enjoyable. It was so good, we came back twice on our one week trip to the City of Light. On our last day, we met the owner and chef. Justin Kent is this young humble cat from New Mexico that is just extremely talented and well trained. You can tell he is passionate about food and he takes great care of its preparation by the way he describes his creations. In talking with him, we discovered that he operates a second restaurant literally around the corner. We immediately decided to make that our last restaurant in Paris. I don't know if we'll ever make it back to Paris, but if we do, we'll certainly make it a point to visit both Zia and Milagro. It would be like going to Paris and not seeing  Eiffel's Tower.

Easily my fav meal in Paris. We had the dutch babies and they were incredible. Serverd on a cast iron out of the oven, hot and fresh. The flavors were incredible. If you're seeking a delicious breakfast, brunch, or even entertaining breakfast for dinner you should stop reading this and just find your way to the nearest metro, lime scooter or taxi and go enjoy a delicious meal! The owner comes from New Mexico but spent his childhood in Paris. Him and his wife came for a year and have spent the last 8 here. They found things they love to create for us and it really shows, and tastes, in the decadent meals they create. We hope this meets you in the palette and you enjoy a fabulous meal at Zia in Paris!

3 words: Dutch baby pancake! This adorable little place was super close to our hotel so we decided to check it out for breakfast one morning and were so glad we did. I ordered a cappuccino and it was very good. For the meal I had the Dutch baby pancake which is like a pancake bowl with bacon, cheese, fried egg, & some maple syrup drizzled over. The combination of the items is spectacular. They bring it out in its own skillet as soon as it's done so it mostly stays warm the entire time. Someone else in our party ordered the breakfast burrito which I tried and it was very good too. The place is small but it was full the entire time we were there. Absolutely delicious food!

We returned to Zia again on our recent Paris vacation, after discovering it a few years ago... And loved it again! So friendly, creative, and welcoming. Had a delicious breakfast burrito & a few perfect espressos during our weeklong stay in the area. The Franco-American owners, Chef Justin & his photographer wife Lindsey, also have a great new fine dining spot around the corner -- Milagro! See you next time, Zia.

Absolutely great place to catch breakfast and brunch. Limited seating, but worth the small wait to sit in this small cafe. Loved the service and the friendly owner taking a few minutes to chat. Definitely a place we will visit again when back in Paris!

Recently visited Zia during my work trip. The restaurant was a short distance from my hotel. The location was very small and bit cramped. They unfortunately stop serving food at 3pm but the waiter and chef were kind enough to still proceed with my order when I arrived at 2:50. I had the avocado toast (No egg) which was delicious.

Went back to Zia on our last trip to Paris and it was just as excellent as before. I love that you can get top notch breakfast burritos in Paris! Zia is such a gem in a touristy neighborhood - fresh, creative, and delicious food every time. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in town.

This was the best meal my husband and I had in Paris-- and we seemed to have spent our time walking from excellent restaurant to excellent restaurant. We each had a Dutch Baby-- mine had snap peas, blistered tomatoes, and parmesan. My husband's had bacon and compte cheese. Both were delicious and we at every bite. The syrup and the salted cheeses complemented each other perfectly, and the pancake itself was perfection. This small restaurant packs some big flavor punch!

We ate at Zia as it was super close to where we were staying and we weren't disappointed. It's a small charming little cafe that serves great food. The food was spot on with us ordering a bacon, egg and maple syrup Dutch baby and the breakfast burrito. Both were really good and full of flavours. I would definitely have that Dutch baby again-awesome. The coffees were on point and rounded the meal off. Zia is in a great location and I can imagine when it gets busy-they will run out of space...so get there early. Check it out when you're craving a good breakfast in Paris.

Found this gem at the tail end of a long trip through Europe for our honeymoon. And so happy we stumbled in! The draw was the "breakfast burrito" that was offered, and being from California and yearning for food from home, i took a chance to see what breakfast burritos in Paris would be like. DELICIOUS! It was full of eggs, bacon, and potatoes, and I'm sure other ingredients I can't remember, and finished off with a drizzle of olive oil. Served with a side salad, it was a great complement to my cappuccino. My husband ordered the bacon Dutch baby pancake and that was also a hit. One of the things that caught me off guard was that this establishment offered pour over coffee and gave us a carafe of cold water when we sat down. Not typical behavior in Europe! When I went to pay, (what sounded like) an American accent greeted me with the total and I learned that 2 folks had recently just opened up the spot in January. Hope you guys have continued success!

Dined at Zia for breakfast because it was close to our hotel and because of the reviews. The Dutch baby pancakes are delicious and the service is friendly. The establishment is quaint but very clean. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Paris.

I liked it and I went their coz they offer halal food. The food I ordered I was excited about but it came as a sandwich with avocado sauce. I felt like i was eating chipotle sandwich. I'd never pay such $18-20 for a sandwich like this US. Usually in Paris you can find a decent beef burger for around $13.00 - well i am not concerned about the money when i travel but the food quality and quantity. And yes you know how French treat Americans :) . . . You can also follow me on Instagram for more travel related reviews @TravelGooRoo

Came here for breakfast and my friend and I ordered the savory Dutch pancake and the breakfast burrito. It's a cute little place that is easy to miss but the food was amazing and great coffee options. The menu is small but has everything you need and I liked not being overwhelmed with too many options. Check it out if you're looking for a great breakfast spot!

I am typically not a breakfast person, however this place has swayed me. Went in while in Paris and has the savory Dutch Baby and my husband had the breakfast burrito. The Dutch Baby was amazing, light, not heavy, really amazing. The breakfast burrito my husband selected had pork carnitas and it was perfect. Typically I think breakfast is too heavy but this was light and refreshing! The place is a little small so don't think you can come in with a million people but the experience was great and everyone made us feel welcomed!

I had brunch at Zia with two friends. We didn't have to wait for a table (we arrived around noon on a Saturday), and the waitstaff quickly took our order after we were seated. Coffees and juice were nice, and the homemade granola with almond milk was really yummy. The three of us had ordered the breakfast burrito, two with bacon and mine with mushrooms as the vegetarian version. We finished our granola and I guess something got mixed up in the kitchen because we waited for ages for our burritos. The staff was so kind though, and offered us another juice to help tide us over for the wait, which was worth it for the burritos. They were delicious, and the restaurant stocks different kinds of hot sauce so we could find the perfect sauce for our burritos. Despite the long wait and confusion over the food, I would definitely come back to Zia and would recommend to friends. It's a really great addition to the 7th, where there aren't the same great brunch options that you have in other parts of Paris.

Great little cafe across our hotel. Coffee was wonderful, I had the special of the day- shokshukka , really delicious. It's a little small, so seating is limited, def not for large crowds.

Fantastic food, the Dutch pancake with bacon is just terrific. Good coffee and service. They speak both English and French. One of the best brunch I've had in all of Paris. Lovely small place.

REALLY nice staff. They have complementary tap water-yay. The place is little and cozy. The first day we tried going was on a weekend but there was quite a wait. We tried again on a weekday early in the morning, and it was worth it. We liked it so much we went again 2 more times since it was delicious and conveniently located near Hotel Duquesne Eiffel. They have a formula which is great for a person who really likes a heavy breakfast. Personally, it was toooo much (but I still ate it all bc it was so good). The savory Dutch baby is awesome. I didn't know a pairing of vegetables and pancakes could work so well. and the avocado toast, and burrito (chicken) were really good too. The yogurt granola might seem like it has too much granola but it is the perfect amount. FYI : the avocado toast is a more light option in the menu for the main selection,

Popped in for breakfast on a recent trip to Paris with my daughter. I started with a fantastic cappuccino! We both ordered the dutch baby pancake, which came with sweet potatoes, goat cheese, an egg and maple syrup drizzle. I don't typically like sweet and savory together, but this worked well with with the goat cheese. The table next to us had the avocado toast, which looked amazing. I'll try that next time!

First time in Paris and this place doesn't disappoint. Great ambiance, friendly staff, awesome food and an added plus... great music in the background! American family traveling with a 12 and 10 year old. Everyone loved it!

Such a great place for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. We went three times and loved it every time. Very friendly staff and great food. I would give it ten stars if possible.

About half of my breakfast club had arrived at 10h00 when Zia opens their no-reservations-doors on Saturday. I asked her if she would seat 8, and with a "whoo" she got the table set. About 90 minutes later, full but not stuffed (portion sizes are appropriate here in France :-) we happily trotted out and ceded our spots to those waiting to enjoy the deliciousness here, i.e. avocado toasts, breakfast burritos, and dutch baby pancakes - savory and sweet, among other healthier choices :-)

Before my wife and I traveled to Paris I Googled the best places to pick up a picnic lunch in Paris. The first search result was Zia and now I know why. In the picnic lunch they pack for you you get a bottle of wine, two salads, two different cheeses, some salami, a baguette and some dessert. In addition to all of that deliciousness they also throw in a picnic blanket. The best part is that the restaurant is only a few blocks from the Eiffel Tower. You can take your delicious feast and eat under the shadow of one of the most beautiful structures in the world.

My wife and I both agree that the breakfast burrito is the best we have ever had! I recommend getting with carnitas as the meat option. This place is a small but charming cafe that plays great music. While I have a tendency to fall in love with most restaurants/cafes that I visit in Paris, this place is a true standout. A great way to start a day in the city of lights.

Went to this place two days in a row for breakfast while visiting Paris. There is a very welcoming and warm vibe here. Breakfast burrito was delicious (make sure to get it "smothered") as was the dutch baby pancake with fruit. The food and decor is definitely reminiscent of restaurants back in my home of Los Angeles. Our waiter who I assumed was also the owner was very friendly and kind. You can tell the food is made with love. I highly recommend this place!

So far this has been my favorite breakfast meal in Paris, maybe of all time. I got the dutch pancake sweet which includes their seasonal fruit and it came out hot, syrupy, and basically infused with magical goodness. My mom got the avocado toast which I tried and was good, but the avocado was more like a guacamole (which still very yummy!) but I was happy with the pancakes ;) service was amazing and Im definitely going to try to come back before I leave

Delicious! Came here for breakfast! I believe we were the first ones here this morning. The guy soon realized we didn't speak french and started explaining the menu to us in English! He was quick to notice when my husband dropped his fork and came quickly with a new clean fork. The food was delicious. Hats down the best parfait I've ever had!!

Hidden gem in Paris. Their staff speaks pretty good English and helped us translating their menu. We got their Dutch baby pancakes with bacon and chicken on the other and all I can say is Wow! It was so good when you match it with their maple syrup. Their portions are pretty big. I was bummed out when they told me their nitro cold brew coffee isn't available. Other than that, you must try their pancakes!

Really cute little coffeehouse! I definitely recommend if you are visiting Paris and staying near the Eiffel Tower. The Dutch pancakes were great and the lattes were pretty good. We loved the ambiance of the place and the hostess was really nice.
