Bright, light and healthy are the core pillars of this chic brunch destination, nestled in the upper side of the Marais district, and the place is known for its attractive plates and loyal following of beautiful people to boot — stylists, actresses, and models are always hanging out here, so this hotspot is an Instagrammers dream.

Season’s main concept is built upon the basic rules of nutrition: in a nutshell, you cannot consume same fresh products all year round. It’s just not sustainable. That's why the menu here changes with the rhythm of the seasons and is renewed every three months, making each dish different and on-point whether its spring, summer, autumn or winter. From kefta dumplings to pastrami sandwiches, to naan, the menu here offers a cuisine open to the world, mostly bio and organic, and revisited with the perfect fraction of French touch.

Opened by successful Parisian restaurateur Cathy Closier in 2015 and designed for the minimal hunter (with great lighting to boot) by Matthias Kiss, Season immediately became popular amongst the cool crowd of the city —  and it’s still à la mode — so don't even try get a seat there during Fashion Week; everyone will be lining up for a spot, looking their best and crowding to take a picture over the beautiful plates.

Perfect for: Definitely brunch! It’s a-la-carte and they do breakfast favourites all day, as well as some more robust fare — but be careful, and don't go to Season if you’re ravenous, it’s quite possible that you’ll have to wait in line for 15/20 mins on a busy day.

What to order: This place has one of the best selections of fresh-pressed juices in Paris. You should also try Season’s avocado toast and açaí bowl. It’s the perfect combination of tasty, healthy and delectably Instagrammable.
