Ora Farmhouse – Seasonal Brunch Beneath the Trees in Buttes-Chaumont
Ora Farmhouse – Restaurant, Terraces & Festive Evenings in Buttes-Chaumont
Set inside the Pavillon du Lac in Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, Ora Farmhouse is much more than a brunch address. Designed as a country house in the middle of Paris, it moves from relaxed daytime dining and seasonal flexitarian sharing plates to atmospheric dinners where the lights dim and the music gradually rises. Add leafy terraces, cocktails, the outdoor Guinguette, a hidden karaoke space, dancing and Sunday brunch, and Ora becomes a place to spend several hours rather than simply stop for a meal.
TLC Paris tip: Choose your timing according to the experience you want. Daytime is relaxed and leafy, ideal for lunch, the terraces or the Guinguette; Sunday brings brunch, while dinner has a distinctly more festive rhythm as the lighting softens and the music builds. If you want to experience the livelier side of Ora Farmhouse rather than simply the restaurant, book dinner and leave time to stay afterwards. The surrounding Buttes-Chaumont park also makes Ora particularly good for turning lunch or drinks into a longer neighbourhood afternoon.
Highlights (evergreen)
A large “maison de campagne” hidden inside Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, with wooden furniture, floral details, big windows and terraces overlooking the trees.
A flexitarian restaurant where vegetables and seasonal produce are the stars — lots of vegetarian and vegan options, plus carefully chosen meat and fish.
One of the most talked-about brunches in the 19ᵉ: generous sharing boards of tempura vegetables, labneh, eggs, viennoiseries, granola, pancakes and sweets, served indoors or on the terraces.
Festive dinners with shared plates, music and sometimes parties (Halloween, New Year’s Eve), plus a more casual Guinguette by the lake with drinks and seasonal snacks.
A true green escape in Paris 19: ideal for a long lunch or brunch before or after exploring the hills, bridges and viewpoints of Buttes-Chaumont.
With TLC Paris Concierge, Ora Farmhouse can become your countryside afternoon in Paris: climb the Buttes, cross the bridges, then settle in for a slow, generous brunch beneath the trees.

TLC Paris Concierge note: Choose your time according to the experience you want. Daytime is relaxed and park-focused, while dinner becomes progressively more festive as the lights dim and the music rises. In good weather, ask about the terraces or stop at La Guinguette for something more casual. For dinner, groups and special events, reserving ahead is the safer choice.
Ora Farmhouse – Restaurant, Guinguette & Festive Evenings in Buttes-Chaumont
Set inside the Pavillon du Lac in Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, Ora Farmhouse is much more than a brunch address. Conceived as a countryside house in the middle of Paris, it moves through different moods during the day — from brunch and lunch surrounded by greenery to drinks on the terraces, dinner, music and increasingly festive evenings.
The restaurant follows a flexitarian approach with vegetables and seasonal produce at the centre of the kitchen, sourced in France and through short supply chains whenever possible. Lunch is built around small plates that can be shared, while dinner introduces a changing seasonal menu with vegetarian dishes alongside fish and meat. As evening arrives, the lights are lowered, the music gradually rises and Ora shifts from relaxed park restaurant to a livelier place for dinner, drinks, dancing and late evenings.
The setting is a large part of the experience. Upstairs, La Serre is wrapped in glass with views across Buttes-Chaumont, while La Verrière downstairs has its own exuberant floral bar. Terraces surround the building at different levels, and outside, La Guinguette offers a more casual stop for drinks and seasonal snacks. There is even a hidden karaoke room under the roof, while the Ora Social Club brings workshops, comedy, music, games and other events into the programme throughout the year.
This makes Ora particularly easy to adapt to the day you are planning. Come for brunch before exploring the park, stop for lunch after a walk, spend a sunny afternoon over drinks outside, or reserve dinner when you want the evening to continue beyond the table. Nearby, Rosa Bonheur offers another side of Buttes-Chaumont’s social life, while the residential streets of Mouzaïa and Jourdain are worth exploring beyond the park.
For a longer day in the 19th arrondissement, continue toward Parc de la Villette, the Philharmonie de Paris or the waterside paths around Bassin de la Villette. Ora Farmhouse works particularly well as the food-and-drink anchor of the day because it can be a daytime stop, an evening destination — or both.
