La Maison de la Truffe, the French restaurant for truffle lovers in Paris

Head to the 8th arrondissement of Paris to (re)discover the Maison de la Truffe, the historic Parisian store where the whole of Paris flocked to find the very best in truffles.

The famous Maison de la Truffe, located on Place de la Madeleine in Paris, is an emblematic establishment founded in 1932 by brokers from Carpentras. Renowned for its selection of top-quality truffles, the store quickly became a favorite among gourmets. Acting as intermediaries between truffle growers and retailers, the brokers bring their expertise to bear in selecting the finest truffles, both fresh and traditionally preserved.

To celebrate its 90th anniversary, in 2021 the Maison de la Truffe underwent an elegant renovation by designer Alexis Mabille, reinforcing its reputation as a benchmark in the luxury culinary world. This establishment embodies expertise in the selection and sale of truffles, symbolizing luxury and French gastronomic tradition.

As soon as you enter, the atmosphere is set: a warm, elegant decor awaits you, harmoniously blending wood, stone and plants. The warm, comfortable ambience is an invitation to savor the truffle specialties.

The menu is a celebration of truffles. Starters such as scrambled eggs with truffles or chestnut velouté with duck foie gras delicately awaken the taste buds. Like us, gourmets will opt for the gourmet truffled Mont d'Or, to be shared with a clear conscience.

The main courses on the winter menu, such as the authentic filet de boeuf Rossini with its generous foie gras, or the Saint-Jacques with chestnut cream, are wonderful discoveries, each bearing the unique signature of the Maison. Pasta lovers will also be delighted with options such as fettucine with truffle and truffle cream.
