Hot belly was our first stop. Started off with a Latte. We didn't take long with the menu and we both ordered a more or less traditional breakfastBrody ordered scrambled eggs with halloumi cheese and sausage. I ordered eggs over easy with halloumi cheese and bacon. We enjoyed the food, the service and the atmosphere all at once. First taste of a real French restaurant and we weren't disappointed. Very welcoming in hospitable service, considering the language barrier. I recommend to anyone near Gard du Nords train station that likes a hearty breakfast.

It's a very American-themed breakfast spot in Paris, which was surprising. The restuarant is bright and cheerful, and the staff are all very friendly. While every other restaurant in Paris greets you with "Bonjour," Holybelly greets you with a "hey guys." It stands out. Holybelly is popular so we hada small wait to be seated, but not too long of a line. For food, I had their signature stack wtih all of the trimmings, pancakes (delcious and cooked perfectly), eggs (no subs for sunny side up but got them fried hard), delicious bacon, bourbon syrup, and sauteed mushrooms (excellent), and ordered a side of scrambled eggs since I could not sub the eggs. Everything was really, really good! I also got an iced coffee and mimosa. I highly recommend and would definitely return to Holybelly!

The owner is straight forward to warn larger groups of the small tight spaces up top and wards off any NBA players without helmets as their is low clearance upstairs. The menu is all French and limited English by the servers but it's easy enough to navigate. We came with 5 for Sunday brunch and sat right away but one had to sort of share space at the table. We ordered mixes of omelettes and Benedicts. All came with nice small whole potatoes and a little sour cream. You can modify or add quite a bit. Eggs are your choice of style ultimately and apparently the brunch includes pancakes. We were confused by that and they come after you've eaten the other items. I'm not sure if we paid for that or not but we chose to move on without. It came with your choice of tea or coffee AND a small orange juice. The eggs were cooked very delicately and moist with cheese and good meat in the omelette. Overall it was a fine breakfast compared to croissants and coffee but a little expensive.

I think the reason you see brunch items in these pictures here is because they are sister restaurants and I bet the pics are mixed together because of that.

On that fateful day I immediately knew that I would return someday...yes, I put that out in the universe, and thankfully the universe listened! Living in California and having an obsession with all things coffee and brunch is easy with so many options available (gotta love that California lifestyle!), but sometimes it's a challenge to satisfy these cravings when traveling in other countries. Well thank goodness Holybelly exists in one of my all-time favorite cities, Paris, and it has become one of my go-to spots when I get to travel here. This most recent visit, I had my usual Eggs with Sides (usually the sautéed mushrooms and green salad). My boyfriend had the Eggs with hash browns and beans so we could try a little bit of everything. We were hungrier than usual because we literally had just arrived in Paris from San Francisco, so despite our exhaustion from 15 hours of flights and layovers, we had our hearts set on making this our 1st stop! No time to waste! Food was amazing as usual, hit the spot perfectly, and our Flat Whites were rich and creamy. The only negative thing is that they don't have milk alternatives like almond milk or soy milk, but when in Europe, we don't get too picky because we know their dairy is much better quality anyway. It was wonderful to get to meet the owners Sarah and Nico this time as well, and they were incredibly welcoming and friendly when I decided to go up to them and introduce myself. You guys have a lifelong fan here in California, and I can't wait to return to Paris to checkout Holybelly 2 when it opens!!

Déception avec un café mocha - Service et préparation frustrants…read moreHier matin, j'ai commandé un café mocha dans votre établissement et j'ai reçu une boisson parfaitement préparée : espresso, lait chaud et la juste dose de chocolat. En soirée, lorsque je suis revenu pour une version à emporter de la même boisson, j'ai vécu une expérience très frustrante. La caissière ne semblait pas connaître le terme " café mocha ". J'ai patiemment expliqué à plusieurs reprises que je souhaitais simplement la même boisson que celle que j'avais appréciée le matin même. Le barista chargé de la préparation n'était non seulement pas familier avec la recette standard, mais s'est montré impoli et dédaigneux. Malgré mes clarifications répétées, il a préparé la commande à contrecœur. Le résultat fut une boisson froide, sans aucune mousse de lait - rien à voir avec la qualité du matin. Après avoir passé beaucoup trop de temps à expliquer et à attendre, j'étais tellement épuisé par l'interaction que j'ai fini par accepter la boisson ratée sans prolonger la situation. Si l'on peut comprendre qu'une caissière ne soit pas une experte en café, le barista qui manipule la machine à café devrait parfaitement maîtriser les recettes classiques comme le café mocha et traiter les clients avec courtoisie et professionnalisme. Je suggère respectueusement au responsable de former correctement le personnel sur les boissons de base et les standards de service client afin que cela ne se reproduise plus. Cette expérience a été à la fois frustrante et inacceptable pour une commande simple et pourtant basique. J'espère que ce retour d'expérience permettra d'améliorer le service pour les futurs clients.
