1 - Paula

Join us at Café Paula on Saturdays and Sundays for a cooked brunch and a menu that changes with the seasons. The one thing that's always there is a friendly atmosphere and pastries to die for! After the success of their first address, Paula has opened a new concept in an atypical place in Tours: the CCC OD (Centre de Création Contemporaine Olivier Debré), where you can also brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 11am to 2.30pm.

5 - Cafecito Prébendes

El Cafecito is offering brunch in the heart of the Jardin des Prébendes, one of Tours' must-see attractions and a Jardin Remarquable! On the menu, a savoury plate and a sweet plate, cooked with local produce and love! At this temporary address, as at the one in the rue du Grand-Marché, the trademark is of course the coffee, which comes straight from Latin America and Guatemala and is roasted by the team.

Every first Saturday of the month, a brunch is offered in collaboration with Tours restaurateurs, so there's something new to discover every month!

A bonus address for the road!

The theme is gourmet food, so here's a bonus address: La Fourchette Paysanne.

What does this grocery shop promise to do? To promote sustainable food by actively reconnecting the urban and farming worlds. With Amanda and her team, you can shop all week long, attend regular conferences and workshops and have brunch every Saturday!

There's a choice of 3 sweet and/or savoury plates made with 100% organic and local produce, 1 hot drink and 1 fruit juice. What we like: the varied recipes that change every week and the gluten-free / lactose-free options.
