About ANDIA
ANDIA sits on Chaussée de la Muette in Paris's quiet 16th arrondissement, positioned for unhurried neighbourhood brunch rather than high-stakes occasion dining. Book three to five days ahead for a weekend slot. For a formal special occasion with awards-backed credentials, look to Le Cinq or L'Ambroisie instead — ANDIA is the call when a relaxed, residential setting is the point.
Who Should Book ANDIA — and When
ANDIA, at 19 Chaussée de la Muette in Paris's 16th arrondissement, is positioned for a specific kind of morning or weekend outing: the unhurried brunch in a residential quartier that feels genuinely Parisian rather than tourist-adjacent. If you are planning a leisurely weekend meal in the 16th — perhaps before or after a walk through the Bois de Boulogne , this address is worth considering. For a high-energy brunch scene or a special-occasion splurge with Michelin credentials behind it, you will likely look elsewhere in Paris.
What to Expect at the Table
The address puts ANDIA squarely in one of Paris's quieter, more affluent residential neighbourhoods, close to the Muette metro and the manicured edges of the 16th. The visual register here tends toward calm and considered rather than theatrical , think neighbourhood dining room rather than grand brasserie. For a weekend brunch, that can be exactly what you want: a room that allows conversation without competing with it. The 16th is not where you come for buzzing terrace energy; it is where you come when you want the meal to be the point.
Because detailed menu, pricing, and hours data for ANDIA is not currently in our records, we recommend confirming specifics , including whether brunch service runs on weekends only or extends through Saturday , directly with the venue before you go. Paris restaurants in this neighbourhood tend to operate tighter hours than central arrondissement addresses, and weekend brunch slots at well-regarded local spots can fill faster than the easy-booking reputation of the area might suggest.
Booking and Timing
For a weekend brunch at a neighbourhood address in the 16th, booking three to five days ahead is generally sufficient , this is not a venue where you are competing with international reservation queues. That said, if you are visiting Paris over a public holiday weekend or during the spring and autumn travel peaks, add a few extra days to your window. Walk-in availability at weekend brunch in this part of Paris is plausible mid-morning on quieter weeks, but it is not something to rely on for a group or a special occasion. Book ahead, keep it simple.
Special Occasion Framing
ANDIA is more likely to suit an intimate celebration , a birthday brunch for two, a relaxed family gathering, a low-key anniversary meal , than a landmark splurge dinner. For the latter, Paris has no shortage of options with documented awards and established reputations: Le Cinq at Four Seasons Hôtel George V and L'Ambroisie are the benchmarks for formal occasion dining in Paris, both operating at the leading of the price range with the service depth to match. ANDIA's neighbourhood positioning suggests a different register: warm, local, and appropriate for occasions where the atmosphere matters as much as the spectacle.

The Bottom Line
Book ANDIA if you want a neighbourhood brunch in one of Paris's calmer, more residential corners and you are not chasing a credential-heavy dining event. Confirm hours and menu format directly before you go. For a high-stakes occasion or a meal where the awards pedigree needs to be visible on the wall, redirect your reservation to one of the city's more documented addresses.
