A good homemade brunch rests on four pillars: sweet, savoury, fresh and drinks. Plan three or four main dishes for four to six people, about two eggs and two or three pancakes each. Prep the night before, cook only hot dishes in the morning, and serve around 10:30–11:30.
Sunday brunch at home promises a long, relaxed table — but often means the host stuck at the stove while the eggs go cold.
This guide borrows a brasserie’s logic: few dishes, well chosen, served hot at the right time.
All ideas in this guide come from Le Spot’s menu.
Sweet, savoury, fresh and drinks: one or two dishes per pillar, no more.
Pancakes, French toast, waffles or pastries — pick one pan-cooked dish.
Eggs in one style for everyone, avocado toast, oven-grilled bacon.
Fruit, green salad, guacamole: they lighten the table.
Coffee, hot chocolate, freshly squeezed juice, optional mimosa.
Also discover our waffles and crêpes.
Four sample menus, each with no more than two hot dishes.
Pancakes, mini pastries, scrambled eggs, bacon, fruit, hot chocolate.
French toast, avocado toast, homemade Eggs McSpot, guacamole, mimosa.
Pancakes with lots of fruit, omelette, salad, grapefruit juice.
Tapenade, panisse fries with aioli, guacamole and plenty of citrus juice bring a Côte Bleue terrace feel home.
Benchmarks for one adult; halve the savoury for a child.
| Dish | Per adult | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Eggs | 2 eggs | One cooking style for everyone |
| Pancakes | 2 to 3 | 250 g flour feeds 4 |
| Fresh juice | 20 to 25 cl | 2 to 3 oranges per glass |
Three or four main dishes are enough for four to six guests.
Prep batter, caramel and fruit the night before; keep only hot cooking and fresh juice for the morning. Serve eggs last.

Fruit or salad rebalances the table.
