Now that you're on vacation, who cares about breakfast anyway, right? Hit that snooze button because you're sure you put the little Do Not Disturb sign on your hotel door handle last night, right? OK. Gotcha. This one's for you. Le China serves up one of the most like-a-movie-set brunch settings in Paris.
The location, about 5 minutes from La Bastille, is not necessarily on the beaten path. And brunches are served on weekends only. But if you ever watched those old gangster movies set in Shanghai and Kowloon, this will have you reveling in just that kind of romantic fantasy. What's nice, too, is French cuisine is mixed with Chinese here so you'll find a selection of dim sum and Chinese-inspired desserts such as litchi and passionfruit flavored delights on the menu along with the more traditional quiche and croissants native to France.

- Breakfast: "A special occasion brunch here on the weekend is something to plan a day around. The address is not far from Bastille, but the decor is so well done that you'll feel you are in 1930's Shanghai."
- Best for Breakfast Because: Brunch in Paris is what taking a vacation is all about. So go ahead and sleep in. The croissants will wait.
