At 14 rue de Castellane, this modern brasserie in the 8th arrondissement has just revamped its menu: bistro classics, orecchiette with lobster, a côte de bœuf to share and a monumental wine cellar. A restaurant with a terrace, perfect for a lunch with colleagues, dinner before the theater or a meal with friends.
Opened on Rue de Castellane in fall 2025, Madie offers a welcome respite in the heart of Paris’s 8th arrondissement. Velvet banquettes, low lighting and a striking wine library create a warm setting that works just as well for a meal for two as for a large gathering.
Set between Madeleine, Saint-Lazare and the department stores on Boulevard Haussmann — Printemps and Galeries Lafayette are a five-minute walk away —, this is a welcome stop after a day of shopping. It’s just as easy to get here from Opéra, the Grands Boulevards or Saint-Augustin: for anyone looking for where to eat in the area, Madie offers a peaceful interlude. As soon as the weather warms up, the terrace takes over; the rest of the year, the air-conditioned dining room welcomes those who prefer the indoor setting.
Madie's menu has a directness that stands out right away: no decorative language, no dish designed to impress. Homemade is the rule here; fresh ingredients are chosen for their traceability and seasonality, and everything else follows from that. Classics of French cuisine take pride of place, with occasional twists inspired by elsewhere. The new autumn menu takes that approach a little further.
It’s a pleasure to start with the simplest things the restaurant does well. The tarragon egg mayonnaise, at €9, is a reminder that a good egg mayo is serious business. The terrine with Espelette pepper and the roasted carrots, confit tomatoes and almond ricotta, both at €12, follow the same principle: few ingredients, carefully prepared. To share while waiting, the plate of dry-cured ham and the cheese board, also €12 each, take center stage.
The Burgundy snails, at €12 for six or €22 for twelve, are just the thing to win over anyone looking for a French restaurant near La Madeleine. But the menu also ventures beyond the classics: the shrimp tempura, served with wasabi mayonnaise and mango relish, at €14, delivers the crunch and acidity often missing from the start of a meal. And the oysters, with mignonette sauce, at €12 for six or €22 for twelve, are a natural fit for a table in the 8th arrondissement as the festive season approaches.
Autumn brings two new additions to the starters: semi-cooked duck foie gras with apple and pear chutney and toasted gingerbread, at €25, and roasted bone marrow, at €15, which had been missing from a cold-weather menu.
This is where the restaurant shows its character. The hand-cut beef tartare, at €24, comes with fries and salad, chopped by hand — you can taste the difference from the first bite. The hand-cut sausage, with meat jus and mashed potatoes, at €26, embraces its bistro roots without apology; the duck confit with baby potatoes, at €28, follows the same line.
For those who appreciate a perfectly cooked steak, the beef steak, served with pepper sauce, confit shallots and fries for €30, has become a business lunch staple. The smash burger, at €26, has become a hit this fall: a Label Rouge potato bun, 180 g of Charolais ground beef, cheddar, onions, barbecue sauce and sweet potato fries. The yellow chicken supreme, with fries and a reduced mustard jus, at €27, is a reminder that well-raised poultry needs little else. And the spiced pulled pork, served on sweet potato mash for €28, brings the slow-cooked dish the menu was missing.
On the seafood side, things step up another notch. The sea bass fillet, served with sautéed autumn vegetables and shiso beurre blanc, at €32, remains the most elaborate dish on the menu. The salmon fillet, with Parmesan sauce and mashed potatoes, is €29. And the lobster orecchiette, tossed in a bisque, at €40, is the most generous dish on this new menu.
The vegetarian meal is a single dish, but a successful one: orzotto with goat cheese, confit tomatoes, spinach and hazelnuts, for €26. For a lighter lunch, the Caesar salad with karaage chicken, Parmesan, croutons and tomatoes, for €25, does the trick.
Finally, there’s a dish everyone can agree on: the sharing côte de bœuf, priced at €95 and served with Meaux Brie sauce, fries and salad. It arrives whole at the center of the table and is carved in front of the diners. It’s made for dinners with friends, family meals and company gatherings—the kind of dish you mention when booking because it can change the course of an evening.
The meal ends in keeping with the spirit of the house. Monique’s rice pudding, priced at €10, bears a first name, which says quite a lot about the intention. The 70% chocolate mousse with Guérande salt, at €12, pits bitterness against sweetness.
Traditionalists will opt for the profiterole, with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce, for €14, or the crème brûlée, for €12. Two autumn desserts round out the selection: brioche perdue with caramelized apples and whipped cream, for €12, and a pecan caramel tartlet, for €13. The artisanal ice creams—vanilla, lemon, mango, pistachio and coconut—are €3 per scoop, while the €12 café gourmand brings together chocolate mousse, rice pudding and ice cream, with a €2 supplement for the tea version.
For lunch in the Madeleine district, Madie offers two set menus, served only at lunchtime from Monday to Friday:
Just the thing for a lunch with colleagues or a business meal a stone’s throw from Saint-Lazare, without spending the whole afternoon there.
The wine cellar sets the tone as soon as you walk in: this monumental wine library spans the full height of the wall. The selection takes in Burgundy, Bordeaux, the Loire Valley, the Rhône Valley, Beaujolais, Languedoc, Provence and Southwest France, with bottles starting at €30.
In Burgundy, there’s Chablis, Mercurey, Irancy, Aloxe-Corton, Nuit-Saint-Georges and Pommard, complemented by age-worthy white wines such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Corton-Charlemagne. The Rhône Valley offers a Condrieu and a Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Loire a Chinon and its white wines, and Beaujolais a Morgon from Domaine Marcel Lapierre.
Yet Bordeaux wines are the biggest surprise for a neighborhood spot: rare classified growths sit alongside one another here — Château Lafite-Rothschild, Mouton Rothschild, Cheval Blanc, Haut-Brion, Figeac, Lynch-Bages — alongside reliable favorites such as Phélan Ségur, Sociando-Mallet and Haut-Marbuzet. Just the thing to make an impression at a business dinner or for a special occasion.
The champagnes range from EPC Brut to the great houses — Dom Pérignon, Ruinart, Veuve Clicquot, Moet & Chandon, Joseph Perrier and Armand de Brignac — with magnums and jeroboams for tables celebrating a special occasion. On the rosé front, Provence dominates, from Château Minuty to Garrus from Château d’Esclans. Wines by the glass round out the selection.
The signature cocktails, priced at €13, all bear a woman’s name, and each has its own personality. Emma is all elegance—gin, bergamot, lemon and champagne—the one to order while waiting for a table. Barbara is bolder, with tequila, grilled red pepper, basil, lime, honey and chili. Michèle heads for the tropics with aged rum, coconut and vanilla, while Armelle stays with the woody notes of bourbon, cinnamon-spiced honey, lemon and bitters.
The mocktails, at €10, are no compromise: apple and ginger for Lou, chamomile and vanilla for Iris, passion fruit and basil for Chloé. There’s also blackcurrant leaf kombucha and sparkling drinks with blood orange and chili or apricot and za’atar—enough to enjoy an entire evening at the table without alcohol and without getting bored.
Whenever the weather allows, the terrace on Rue de Castellane transforms the feel of the place: people come for lunch, a coffee or a drink at the end of the day. Inside, banquettes and soft lighting invite you to linger over your meal—making Madie as much a spot for a romantic dinner as a business meal. For a dinner for two near Madeleine, ask for a banquette at the back, away from the foot traffic.
The neighborhood sets the pace, and the restaurant has adapted. Just a few minutes from the Théâtre des Mathurins and the Théâtre Michel, Madie starts serving at 6 p.m.: mention your showtime when booking, and the service will be timed accordingly. Later in the day, the bar takes over for an after-work drink in the Haussmann district, with a cocktail or a glass of wine chosen from the cellar—and you can carry on with dinner without changing venues.
Between the Haussmann district’s corporate headquarters, the offices around Madeleine and the crowds at Saint-Lazare station, Madie has found its clientele: people who need a good lunch, quickly and in peace and quiet. The acoustics—rare in Paris—make it possible to have a confidential conversation without raising your voice, the service is geared to those with only an hour to spare, and the bill is reasonable enough to put on an expense account. Three details seal the deal for neighborhood regulars: meal vouchers are accepted, the Wi-Fi works, and the dining room is air-conditioned.
In this neighborhood, corporate group meals are booked well in advance: end-of-year celebrations are planned as early as November, and the best dates go fast. Madie creates custom group menus tailored to the number of guests and the time you have available—a Christmas lunch with colleagues has a different pace from an evening that’s meant to last.
The dining room can accommodate three types of events. For groups of up to 40 guests, you’ll be welcomed into a semi-private space within the restaurant, with a dedicated menu. For larger groups, the venue can be booked exclusively for up to 80 seated guests, or up to 100 standing guests for a cocktail reception with dinner, such as a product launch, seminar or birthday celebration.
A dedicated team handles the organization from start to finish: the meal format, food and wine pairings, large-format champagne bottles for a special occasion, and service timings for those heading to a show afterward. For a private restaurant booking in Paris 8 or a group quote, contact the team on 01 40 55 00 14 or at contact@madie.restaurant.
Starting Monday, November 23, Madie is introducing all-day service: from noon to midnight Monday through Thursday, and until 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. In a neighborhood where most restaurants close between lunch and dinner, you can now have lunch at 2:30 p.m., grab a drink at 5 p.m. or have dinner at 11 p.m. without watching the clock.
It’s a rare and valuable time slot for anyone who needs to be seated at the theater by 8:30 p.m.—the Mathurins and Michel theaters are two minutes away. Until November 22, the restaurant serves from noon to 3 p.m., then again from 6 p.m. It’s open Monday through Saturday and closed on Sundays.
The location is ideal for rounding out an outing in the neighborhood. The Église de la Madeleine is a three-minute walk away, the Opéra Garnier about ten minutes, and both Place de la Concorde and the Jardin des Tuileries can be reached in a 15-minute walk. For shopping, Printemps and Galeries Lafayette are five minutes away, with Rue Saint-Honoré a little farther on. For an evening out, Théâtre des Mathurins and Théâtre Michel are two minutes away, while the theaters along the Grands Boulevards are a 15-minute walk. The Musée Jacquemart-André, farther north, is about a 15-minute walk away.
