The story

Chanceux Galande Paris: Yankee-Inspired Brunch in the Latin Quarter

The Chefs and the Concept

Chanceux Galande occupies a corner of the Latin Quarter in Paris, introducing a Yankee-inspired brunch concept to the arrondissement. Co-founders Farah Laacher and Thomas Lehoux launched the project following their time at Fontaine de Belleville and Ten Belles. They positioned an open kitchen behind a low wooden counter so guests can watch the morning rush unfold.

Signature Plates and Kitchen Focus

The brunch menu favors sturdy plates over delicate plating techniques. A favorite combines a breaded schnitzel with fried chicken strips, melted cheddar, and shredded cabbage inside a pillowy bun. Daily specials rotate through bowls like beef tataki served with soba noodles, white miso, and toasted buckwheat. Afternoon visitors often finish with a thick slice of chocolate cake brushed with sea salt.

Space and Local Recognition

A wood-cabin-inspired doorway leads into a narrow room defined by raw plaster walls and glossy Formica tables. The casual layout draws a steady stream of university students, passing travelers, and locals seeking a reliable brunch stop. This unpretentious setup secured a place on the 2026 Le Fooding guide. Reviewers highlighted the spot for serving consistent quality without chasing trends.

Don’t wait a second longer to sink your teeth into these hearty sandwiches at the second coffee shop location from Farah Laacher (ex-Fontaine de Belleville) and Thomas Lehoux (the co-founder of Ten Belles and Belleville Brûlerie), right in the heart of the Latin Quarter, surrounded by crêperies, gyro joints and student pubs. Behind the rather wood-cabin-inspired facade, you’ll find a narrow space with unfinished walls, a counter that gives way to the open kitchen and Formica tables, filled with a lovely mix of tourists, students and regulars who come for a Yankee-style breakfast (peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, egg buns, etc.) or lunch: in addition to the dish of the day (when we went it was beef tataki with soba noodles, white miso, spaghetti squash and toasted buckwheat), there are outstanding sandwiches including the Schnitzel with juicy, crispy fried chicken and melted cheddar under a heap of shaved green cabbage and iceberg lettuce, all squeezed between a soft bun with sauce gribiche, plus pickled zucchini. What about dessert? There’s a comforting chocolate cake sprinkled with seeds and fleur de sel. // Madeleine Proust
