HELLO all TAs:
I would like to try some trend cafes for my breakfast. Has anyone been to cafe beauboug or cafe marly? How is the quality of food? Could anyone recommand other chic or classy cafes for breakfast? Thank you so much for the help.
Love Cherry,

I have been to Marly many times, but never for breakfast. I have gone for lunch after visiting the Louvre, sitting on the terrace which overlooks the Pyramide.
The big thing it has going for it is the view. It%26#39;s one of the best views in town. The food isn%26#39;t bad, it%26#39;s not the best. I%26#39;d say it%26#39;s good. The prices are high though. I don%26#39;t know what they charge for breakfast, but I%26#39;m sure it%26#39;s waaaaaay more than you should really pay.
I would not go for breakfast as it%26#39;s probably not worth the price you will pay. I would do lunch or possibly dinner, or just a drink on the terrace.
I%26#39;ve had breakfast at the Cafe de Flor and the Deux Magots, two %26quot;classy cafes%26quot; in the 6th. The breakfasts were outstanding, although very expensive.

Though they are technically cafés, neither the Marly nor the Beaubourg are really appropriate for breakfast. They are much more fashionable at lunch or for late afternoon coffee. Of the two, Marly is decidedly more chic, while the Beaubourg is a bit more bobo.

For a really good French breakfast, at about 11 euros, go to Cuisine de Bar, which is the cafe next door to Pain Poilane. They will serve you a HUGE basket of toasted Poilane, croissants, fresh juice and the biggest bowl of coffee you can imagine. (In homes, coffee is sipped from a large bowl).
Cuisine de Bar
8, rue Cherche-Midi (M: Sevres-Babylon), tel 01 45 48 45 69

The chic and trendy tend to enjoy breakfast in bed. For something a bit more public, try the chic, trendy hotels. I%26#39;d probably check out the Hotel Costes or Plaza Athenee. The Crillon breakfast is grand, but the crowd is not terndy, so much as int%26#39;l opulent.
|||
The Beaubourg has a multi-course brunch on the menu that is a bit pricey--I recall about €25--but worth it for the quality of the brunch and the scene. The brunch includes those wonderful, soft, soft, soft scrambled eggs!

Thank you all for such invaluable recommandations. I will try these places during my three days in Paris. Btw, do I need to reserve a table for the breakfast at Plaza Athenee or Hotel Crillion? My french is not good enough though.
Love,
Cherry
