Dutch Baby Pancakes
The Dutch Baby is Zia’s signature dish: an oven-baked pancake served directly from its skillet with combinations that can move between sweet and savoury.
If it is your first visit, this is the dish that best captures the café’s identity and makes Zia different from a more conventional Paris brunch address.
Brunch & Menu
Zia serves a market-driven brunch menu with dishes such as Dutch Babies, breakfast burritos, granola and other seasonal breakfast and lunch plates.
The menu changes, so check the current selection before visiting if you have a particular dish in mind.
The New Mexico Connection
Chef-owner Justin Kent grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and brings elements of the American Southwest into a Paris café setting.
Chiles, tortillas, corn and other Southwestern references can appear alongside French ingredients and techniques, giving the menu a distinctive identity without turning it into a purely American-style brunch.
Specialty Coffee & Café Atmosphere
Specialty coffee is an important part of Zia rather than an afterthought, making it equally suitable for a slower coffee stop or a full brunch.
The room is small and informal, with a neighbourhood feel despite its location close to one of Paris’s busiest visitor areas.
Reservations, Hours & Visiting
Zia operates on a first-come, first-served basis and does not take reservations, so a short wait is possible at popular brunch times.
Current opening pattern: Monday, Thursday and Friday 10:00–15:00; Saturday and Sunday 09:00–16:00; closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
Hours can change, so check the official site before making a special trip.
Planning Your Zia Café Visit
- Arrive earlier in the brunch period if you want to minimise the chance of waiting.
- Try a Dutch Baby if this is your first visit.
- Check the current menu if you have dietary requirements or want a particular dish.
- Zia works especially well before or after a walk through Champ de Mars and around the Eiffel Tower.
TLC Paris tip: Zia is a particularly easy brunch stop to build into an Eiffel Tower morning. Go slightly earlier if you want to avoid the busiest period, order a Dutch Baby if it is your first visit, then continue through Champ de Mars or the quieter streets of the 7th arrondissement.
