Best brunch in the Financial District, 2026.

Brunch. Daily until 4pm

Charming the neighborhood since 2017, Francophiles will feel right at home at La Parisienne, a shoebox cafe serving some of the best brunch in the Financial District. Helmed by a young French couple, the menu is replete with breakfast staples like french toast, salmon brioche and incredible avocado toast.

Everything on the menu is bound to impress, which isn’t a coincidence. The owners, Julie and Adrian, worked for city’s best French restaurants (Benoit, Ladurée, Tartinery) before stepping out on their own. From quick coffee runs to aperol hour and leisurely lunches, La Parisienne is a personal favorite.

Brunch. Daily from 9am-4pm

In New York, Australian cafes are a dime a dozen, but Hole in the Wall feels special. More of a casual sit-down joint. During weekdays it swells with coworkers catching up between meetings over proper coffee. Come the weekend you’ll find it challenging to score a table for brunch.

An Australian restaurant first and foremost, Hole in the Wall is a great option for classic Australian brunch dishes, like avocado toast and eggs Benedict. It’s also a great Financial District brunch joint for innovative cocktails, I’m a big fan of the Brazilian Sunrise (rum, shochu, passionfruit, grapefruit juice, prosecco).

Brunch. Saturday & Sunday 11am-4pm

The Malt House is a prime destination for boozy brunches in the Financial District. With the purchase of an entree, you’ll get 90 minutes of bottomless cocktails like mimosas, sangria and maltmosa (wheat beer, champagne, and orange juice) for $25.

As for food, the crab cake Benedict (panko-breaded crab cake, salsa, poached gggs, béarnaise) is my go-to order. But if sweet brunch is more your speed, the sticky toffee pancakes (strawberry-vanilla compote, walnut & chocolate crumble, toffee sauce, and maple butter) might be the move.

Brunch. Saturday & Sunday 11am-4pm

Cowgirl Seahorse is the jack of all trades, the menu spans the gamut! From Tex-Mex favorites like blackened fish tacos to southern comfort food like creamy shrimp and grits, you’ll be spoiled for choice. This a great place to. Whatever you do, make sure the spread starts with an order of the basket of biscuits.

What do Thomas Edison, Teddy Roosevelt and Bob Dylan have in common? They all patronized the Paris Cafe. Opened in 1873, this one of the oldest restaurants in New York City, reason alone to visit. The brunch menu emphasizes brasserie classics like steak au poivre, beet and goat cheese salad and croque monsieur.

In keeping up with the time, The Paris Cafe expanded the menu to include classic American fare as well, like eggs Benedict, French toast, burgers and avocado toast. Dine like a Parisian or stay the course with beloved American grub, the only non-negotiable at this Financial District brunch haunt is starting with fresh baked baguettes (served with whipped butter).
