We had one of their special dishes of the day, risotto with mushroom and truffle oil and it did not disappoint! Also the vegan (halloumi) burger with sweet potato fries was delicious

Great food, good service, kitchen does not close after the lunch. Highly recommended ! Been here several times already, and never disappointed. Tried lots of dishes, everything was exceptional, and the cocktails are not short with alcohol. It’s our go to place now in the neighborhood.

Loved the place! Went on a sunny day and ate on the terrace. Food and service were great. It was quite a busy day but we did not wait long to get the food. Kudos to the staff and the cook.

Located in the vibrant 11th arrondissement of Paris, Pause Cafe - Paris offers an inviting retreat for lovers of flavorful, well-crafted dishes. This charming restaurant combines classic Parisian café culture with an innovative menu that caters to diverse tastes.

Their Sunday Brunch is a standout, bringing together comforting favorites like Avocado Toast Avec Saumon Fumé and indulgent treats such as their rich Cheesecake and Tarte Lemon Curd. For a savory bite, the Organic Cheese Burger and Sandwich Pulled Pork highlight the kitchen's dedication to high-quality ingredients and bold flavors. The Tartare de Boeuf and Tataki de Thon Et Légumes Rôtis reveal their finesse for balancing freshness and depth in each dish.

Customer experiences consistently praise not only the menu variety but also the attentive service and welcoming atmosphere. One memorable dish shared by a guest — the risotto with mushroom and truffle oil — perfectly captures the kitchen’s ability to elevate simple ingredients with refined techniques. Vegan options like the halloumi burger with sweet potato fries prove that Pause Cafe embraces inclusivity without compromising taste.

What truly sets this spot apart is its thoughtful approach to comfort and ambiance. The spacious, year-round outdoor seating balances sun-drenched terrace charm with cozy, heated enclosures during colder months, encouraging guests to linger whether rain or shine. Coupled with well-crafted cocktails that do not skimp on spirit, Pause Cafe feels less like a restaurant and more like a neighborhood haven.

In every visit, the consistent quality and friendly staff create an experience that’s both satisfying and uplifting. Pause Cafe - Paris is a gem where Parisian culinary tradition meets contemporary flair, making it a recommended destination for both locals and visitors seeking genuine, flavorful dining moments.
