BRUNCHING MARCEL'S STYLE
When you go on Instagram, you can see all those posts of amazing brunches. And you wonder, where are those taken? So I decided to do a little investigation - such a big word for a small mission ! After a little while doing some research on my social media accounts, I found Marcel.
So what did I do? As every good investigator would have done - kidding here -, I decided to brunch at Marcel. It's that simple! Yesterday, I took some time off and went to the restaurant, located nearby Le Bon Marché.
Even though I am really not fond of foodporn - actually hate it! How ridiculous do you look taking pictures of your food? Just my point of view! -, I tried to do my best bending to this exercise. The least I can say, is that Marcel's courses are pretty photogenic! Just have a look at them!
Clearly, I was not disappointed by Marcel. Here are the details that made my experience - because eating is an experience dah! - awesome!

Atmosphere, atmosphere...: C.O.Z.Y! Located in a small street, Marcel is a calm and cozy place with a really casual atmosphere. Perfect for a brunch with friends! The lovely interior design brings some edge to the overall ambiance. I remember thinking that if I had to create a restaurant atmosphere, I would probably choose the exact same decorative elements. I am obsessed with those light bulbs!
Book or die: Marcel, as all the good Parisian spots, is a popular venue. So I truly recommend that you book your party one day before, to be sure you will have your table to enjoy this amazing brunch. The booking infos are at the end of the post. Now you don't have any excuse not to go!
What about the service?: The first thing you see when entering in the restaurant is the smile of the waiters. They welcome you polity, warmly and happily! And trust me, it is rare in Paris! But is the service efficient ? Hell yeah! They know what they are doing. They have the perfect timings. This way you do not feel pressured, but you don't have to wait either. That's really nice!
Is it as yummy as it looks?: The answer is YES! First of all, the menu is perfect! You have some many options: vegan, tex mex, classics such as pancakes and waffles, fishes, and many more. Absolutely everyone will find something matching their tastes and eating habits. I personally decided to try the pancakes and the nachos and guacamole. Yummy! And what a better way to complete the food than an amazing drink? I went for the matcha latte. But you have a large choice too.
I mean seriously how many more reasons to go brunch at Marcel do you need?
