Madie is a French restaurant with retro-chic vibes, tucked away at 14 rue de Castellane 75008 Paris, between the Madeleine church and Saint-Lazare station. Step inside and the city’s clamor fades: deep velvets, soft lighting, wide banquettes, and at the back a monumental wine library climbing the wall. In the 8th arrondissement, it feels like a quiet pause in the bustle.
Opened in autumn 2025, this French restaurant in Paris’s 8th arrondissement has quickly become a neighborhood staple: the business crowd makes it a lunchtime habit, theater-goers dine here before the curtain rises, and locals swing back in the evening for a shareable côte de bœuf and a nightcap at the bar.
Madie is housed at 14 rue de Castellane, 75008 Paris, in a discreet pocket tucked between the Madeleine Church, Rue Tronchet and Boulevard Malesherbes. A rare location: central enough to be easily reachable from anywhere, yet tucked away enough for you to hear its diners.
Just a three-minute stroll from La Madeleine, five minutes from Gare Saint-Lazare, and barely a notch farther from Printemps Haussmann and the Galeries Lafayette — the perfect address to rest your feet after a day of shopping. On the transport side: Madeleine metro (lines 8, 12 and 14), Havre-Caumartin (lines 3 and 9) and Saint-Lazare (lines 3, 12, 13, 14, RER E and Transilien).
Surrounded by the business and entertainment district, the Théâtre des Mathurins, Théâtre Michel, the Olympia, the Palais Garnier and the salle Pleyel are just a few minutes’ walk away.
Madie’s menu celebrates the heritage of French cuisine without leaning on nostalgia: clear, straightforward dishes, precise cooking, and generous portions. Here, homemade is not a marketing line but a daily discipline — every fresh product is chosen for traceability and seasonality, and the menu shifts with the market.
On one hand, the house leans into its classics without dressing them up: snails, tarragon-mimosa eggs, a platter of dry-cured ham. On the other, a livelier, more briny range: shrimp tempura with wasabi, marinière clams, roasted carrots. To keep a group entertained while waiting, the charcuterie, cheese, or mixed boards and the oysters plate make for an ideal aperitif.
Salads serve as a proper lunch course: Caesar salad, smoked duck breast salad, or a vegetable salad.
It's the beating heart of the place. The butcher's cut and the beef tartare have asserted themselves as the go-to choices for business lunches. Next to it, a sausage with mashed potatoes that doesn't apologize for being a bistro classic, the Smash Madie — the house-made smash burger, already a neighborhood favorite — and a karaage chicken that tilts a little toward Japan.
On the seaside side, the menu steps up a notch: roasted half-lobster in salted butter, seared scallops, wild sea bass fillet, and tuna tataki. An vegetarian option completes the lineup.
It's Madie’s signature dish and the reason large groups keep coming back: the côte de bœuf and the sole meunière arrive whole at the table and are carved right in front of you. For a team dinner, a birthday, or a family meal, it’s what settles the group.
The chocolate profiteroles remain the house classic. Next to it, a fruit pavlova, a crème brûlée, artisanal ice creams, a cheese board, or a coffee or dessert tea for those heading back to the office. And for birthdays, a cake to order in advance.
You can't miss the wine library: it runs along the wall and serves as the room’s backbone. The selection spotlights French winemakers, offering real food-and-wine pairing tips rather than an endless catalog.
On the bar side, Madie offers a menu of house cocktails: reinvented spritzes, well-executed classics, a mule, gin-tonics crafted to order, signature creations, and a fine selection of mocktails. Plenty to start the evening at the counter, or end it quietly after service.
When the weather is nice, Madie spills onto the sidewalk of Rue de Castellane, feeding a terrace sheltered from the bustle of Boulevard Haussmann. It’s one of the few spots in the district where you can enjoy a coffee, a drink, or a quiet lunch away from the station’s crowds. An after-work crowd naturally makes its way here as the day winds down.
Inside, the dining room is fully air-conditioned: a relief in the heat, and reassuring for a business lunch where you keep your jacket on.
Madie is offering a starter-and-main or main-and-dessert set for €30 and a complete starter-main-dessert set for €40, available at lunch and dinner. On the à la carte menu, expect roughly €45 per person before drinks. A rare value for homemade fare in this part of the 8th arrondissement.
Tucked between Haussmann’s corporate towers, the Madeleine’s offices and the Saint-Lazare bustle, Madie has carved out its niche: a crowd that wants a solid, quick, and quiet lunch. The venue’s acoustics — rare in Paris — let you carry on a confidential chat without shouting, service is brisk for those with a one-hour window, and the bill easily justifies a business expense.
Good to know for locals in the area: Madie accepts meal vouchers, offers Wi-Fi and an air-conditioned room.
For team dinners and year-end meals, the room can accommodate up to 50 guests with or without exclusive use, with tailor-made group menus. Beyond that, we switch to private hire for up to 100 guests.
Just steps from the Théâtre des Mathurins and the Théâtre Michel, five minutes from the Olympia, Madie is the ideal spot for a pre-show dinner. Tell the team your show time when you book: the service is arranged so you’re served calmly and on time. And since the kitchen stays open late on weekends, you can also swing by after the curtain for a drink and a sharing board.
A true versatile living space, Madie welcomes everything from product launches and seminars to birthdays and cocktail dinners. The venue can be privatized partially or entirely, with a dedicated team handling the full organization from A to Z: meal format, standing or seated cocktail, wine-and-food pairings, and service timing.
A cozy, intimate setting with carefully curated acoustics and a prestigious address in the heart of a vibrant area: for a private restaurant hire in Paris 8, quote requests can be made at 01 40 55 00 14 or by email at contact@madie.restaurant.
It's a credential few places in the scene can claim: Madie serves continuously from 12:00 to midnight, Monday through Saturday. No break at 3:00 p.m., no doors closed between services. In other words, you can have lunch at 3:00 p.m. after a long meeting, sample something at 5:00 p.m. after shopping along Boulevard Haussmann, dine at 6:30 p.m. before a show, or sit down at 10:30 p.m. after leaving the theater.
In a neighborhood where most kitchens shut down between service hours, it’s a genuine breath of fresh air—and welcome news for travelers arriving at Saint-Lazare outside of the usual hours.
