Yaya's generous Greek brunch at Halle Secrétan

How about taking off for Greece next Sunday? You don't even have to leave Paris! Head for Yaya, Juan Arbelaez 's Greek restaurant at Halle Secrétan, for a crazy brunch, with friends or family!

Every Sunday from 12pm to 4pm, Yaya awaits you for a cool, Greek-style brunch. And brunch in the Cyclades means a whole host of mezzés, just like in the tavernas of Mykonos! So, what's on offer at this sun-drenched brunch?

For €36 per adult, Yaya takes your taste buds on a journey with a multitude of Greek specialties, to be picked up first from the all-you-can-eat buffet. On the menu: warm pitas to dip in hummus, tzatziki, Kalamata olive tapenade or tirokafteri, a delicious preparation of peppers and feta cheese; puff pastry, with tirópita (feta and honey puff pastry) and spanakópita (spinach and feta puff pastry) in the lead; but also salads, lentils and arugula, and for a touch of color on the plate, beautiful red and yellow cherry tomatoes and green peppers.

On the hot side, Yaya doesn't skip out on one of the brunch staples, eggs, with a choice of fried eggs or a mushroom omelette with just the right amount of slime. Pancakes are a popular choice, while dumpling lovers will be delighted to find a mountain of kefta in a still-warm pan! For drinks, note that hot beverages, as well as fresh fruit juices, are available on a self-service basis!

Then it's on to Yaya's floor at Halle Secrétan for the main courses, with a choice of real seasonal moussaka with celery and carrots; chicken with black Kalamata olives, oregano, semi-dried tomatoes and potatoes; the fish of the day, swordfish on the day we were there, with seasonal vegetables and fennel broth with saffron and citrus; and Greek pasta with seafood, ouzo and herbs.

Then it's on to the desserts: back to the all-you-can-eat buffet to discover Yaya's sweet specialties: fresh fruit and slices of watermelon, Greek yoghurt topped with homemade granola, as well as galagktoboureko (semolina cake with hibiscus syrup) and Portokalopita (sweet orange cake). After that, we guarantee you won't be hungry anymore!
