Nestled in the vibrant heart of Paris at 96 Bd de Sébastopol, Santa Lyna offers a delightful escape into a world of flavorful brunch experiences. This charming restaurant has quickly become a favorite among locals and visitors alike, thanks to its inviting atmosphere and innovative menu that perfectly blends American comfort food with Parisian flair. Whether you're craving a hearty Benedict with halloumi or a smooth, comforting mocha, Santa Lyna promises a memorable culinary journey that captures the essence of a perfect brunch in the City of Light.

Had brunch at Santa Lyna in Paris and absolutely loved it! The hot dogBenedict with halloumi was perfectly done rich, creamy, and full of flavour and the mocha was just as good, smooth and comforting 

It's a popular spot, and for good reason, so I'd highly recommend making a reservation it fills up fast, especially on weekends. The location is central Paris too, tucked in a lively area that's perfect for a post-brunch stroll.

This is a cute little place by our Airbnb. Can here with my friends and as we came in, we were greeted and seated quickly. 

The menu is very limited, but that was ok as I had the avocado toast and egg. It was pretty good. The bread was a bit hard. But I managed to my friend as for more granola and they waited said yea, but never came back with any. So that was a bit disappointing for her. Other than that not too bad of a pace.

Super fun and bright atmosphere! Loved the brunch menu- ordered the tacos and they did not disappoint. Everything looked delicious- generous portion sizes. Wish I would have discovered this place sooner- I will definitely be back next time I visit Paris.

Best brunch I've had anywhere!! 

***LOCATION***
Same as any place in Paris... easy to access by metro! I wouldn't recommend coming in car, unless it is an uber or taxi. Parking is hard to find everywhere and is paid unless it's after hours or Sunday. 

***EXPERIENCE***
We waited in line for an hour and a half in freezing weather, but it was worth it! Came here to meet friends in Paris. I hadn't chosen the restaurant, and wanted to leave and not wait, but some of my friends were late. We decided to wait for them there, and by the time they got there we were in the front of the line. 

We were 6, but just as we got seated another friend happened to stop by and wanted to join. They said no because we didn't let them know ahead of time and that there were too many people waiting in line, they didn't have enough chairs for us to pull one up. We understood, but they were pretty strict about it. Our friend left and decided to meet us later, and at the end of our brunch, the manager brought us some cookies to go and said he apologized that our friend couldn't sit, but that it was just packed and not fair to those waiting outside. So, he told us to take our friend the cookies, which was super nice! France is definitely not known for their customer service, so I was really shocked by this and thought it was a really nice gest! 

Our waitress was also very nice and got our order taken and out quickly! Our coffees all had latte art and overall it was a very instagramable place. I think my friend found them on Tiktok. 

It is a California-style brunch, and having tried several American places when living in Paris, this was the most authentic! It was even too authentic for me haha I was only in Paris for a few days and wanted to eat French food and we ended up at an American brunch spot! But it was definitely cute and as good as it looked!

***PRICE***
Average Paris prices. Honestly reasonable for the hype that is around this place! 5 euro for a latte - less than you'd pay at Starbucks and around 12-16 euros for dishes, but they are very copious! 

***FOOD***
I got a PSL - pls excuse me for being basic. They did a latte art cat that was so cute and the latte was 10/10. 

I also got the Chick'n Spicy Waffle (but my bf ate the chicken lol) and it was also 10/10

***CONCLUSION***
Definitely recommend trying this place if you live in Paris!! Just be sure to arrive early because the line is insane and there isn't much seating.

Oh my gosh! This place was absolutely delicious! There was a line outside to get in but it went fast. We waited like 5-10 minutes and was in. The inside is super cute and stylish and the food and service was amazing! I would say this is the best breakfast/brunch place in the area.  Prices were also reasonable. Not pricy at all considering we were in Paris. Definitely must visit if your looking for a good brunch spot

Très bon brunch à Paris! 
Le restaurant est idéalement placé à Paris dans le 3e arrondissement, et très facilement accessible par les transports en commun (ligne 3 & 4 - arrêt Réaumur - Sébastopol / ligne 11 - arrêt arts et métier / ligne 8 & 9 - arrêt Strasbourg Saint Denis). 
Lorsque nous sommes arrivés vers 13h un samedi, nous avons du attendre environ 1h15, prévoyez donc de venir en avance si vous voulez y aller le week-end. 
Pour le repas, j'ai pris un Hot Benedict a 15€ et un Matcha Coffee. C'était vraiment très bon, je ne regrette pas du tout d'avoir attendu aussi longtemps. L'endroit est également très bien décorée à l'intérieur, et les serveurs sont très à l'écoute. Prévoyez d'avoir le nombre de personne présentes à l'entrée, car un de nos amis est venu en retard et n'a pas pu être ajouté à la table étant donné le nombre de personnes qui attendait dehors. 
Mais le patron du restaurant a été très compréhensif et nous a même offert 2 cookies pour notre amis qui n'avait pas pu nous rejoindre. Très beau geste! 
Je recommande sans hésiter!

The ambiance is nice and the service was great. We were a party of 5 and they immediately accommodated to our party. This is great being that most establishments in Paris are small. The food was good but it missed the wow factor.
