Welcome

Our brunch ideas, gathered here

The Journal is Yona's notebook of ideas: everything we wish we had known before choosing a brunch in Marseille. Opening times, neighbourhoods, what to put on your plate, budget, occasions to celebrate — each article answers a question we are asked in the tea room.

A birthday surrounded by flowers, a baby shower with friends, a children's tea party or simply a craving for pancakes on a Sunday: pick the guide that matches your mood.

New articles as the seasons go by, always written from our parlour in La Valentine (13011).
