224 Great Restaurants Open on Sunday in Paris
Sunday in Paris is a trap for hungry visitors: the bistro you saved is closed, the market packed up at noon, and the only open door is a café with a laminated menu. Google hours are not always right either.
Here are 224 restaurants open on Sunday in Paris, all picked from the guides locals trust, with opening hours checked. Add lunch or dinner in the opening-hours filter, and plan the rest of the week with our restaurants open on Monday and late-night restaurants.

TimeoutHow to eat well on a Sunday in Paris
Many Paris chefs take Sunday off, sometimes Monday too. The good news: plenty of great tables stay open, from grand brasseries to seafood counters. Use the opening-hours filter above to pick Sunday lunch or Sunday dinner, then narrow by neighborhood and budget.
A few Sunday habits to know: lunch is the main event for Parisian families, so book it; dinner is quieter and easier to walk into; and many places open later in the evening. Each place page lists the exact opening hours we have, the must-try dishes and the price range, so you don't cross the city for a closed door.
Brasseries and bouillons: always there for you
The big Parisian dining rooms are built for weekends. Bouillon République serves oysters, œufs mayonnaise and choucroute in a 450-seat Belle Époque hall, at prices that won't hurt. For more classics, see our French restaurants and affordable restaurants.
A Sunday treat
If Sunday is your special meal, Benoit Paris, a Michelin-starred bistro since 1912, serves pâté en croûte and sole meunière in a Belle Époque room near the Hôtel de Ville. Shang Palace, at the Shangri-La, makes Sunday dim sum feel like an occasion. More in our Chinese restaurants.
No reservation, no problem
Clamato, the natural-wine seafood counter on rue de Charonne, takes no reservations, so it's a good plan for a spontaneous Sunday. Arrive early, grab a stool at the counter and order the crab fritters.
Where to look
The 11th, the 2nd and the 10th have the most Sunday options on this list, so start with the 11th arrondissement or the 10th. Starting early? Our breakfast picks cover the morning. Hours can change on holidays, so open any place to double-check its schedule, must-try dishes and what reviewers loved (and didn't).
