A ’50s diner, no big deal, but a ’50s diner in the midst of Paris offers a surreal, Lynch-like experience.

Brunch (pancakes, bacon, eggs, a bottomless mug o’joe) is served at all hours of the day. They also serve beer.

The scene is mostly made up of Parisian hipsters, nostalgic foreigners, and the occasional French greaser. Personally, I’d go for the banana milkshakes after a vintage movie screening at Action Ecoles.

Breakfast in America, 17, rue des Ecoles, 75005 and 4, rue Malher, 75004, open 8h30 to 23h.
