Yann Couvreur, Parmentier
Canal Saint-Martin
Yann Couvreur's first patisserie since May 2016, the original room with the fox-mark logo
The Australian-style breakfast counter that taught Paris to queue for pancakes, and serve them well.
Sarah Mouchot and Nico Alary opened Holybelly on rue Lucien Sampaix in 2013 and effectively imported the Melbourne breakfast café into the 10e, espresso done properly, pancakes both savoury and sweet, eggs dressed without nonsense, daily-changing specials that read more bistro than brunch. It became a fixture: the queues are real, the no-reservation policy holds, the kitchen turns over fast. A second address (Holybelly 5) anchors the same street. It's the rare expat-driven import that the city absorbed without resentment, partly because the cooking was always going to outlast the trend.
Weekend waits 30-45 min between 10:30 and 15:00. Weekday morning is the play.
