Three elegant places to discover in the Opéra-Madeleine district

In this vibrant district of Paris, a few select addresses offer calm, refined flavors and discreet charm. Here are three of them.

Magdalena: the chic, festive address

With its 550 m², Magdalena offers a décor inspired by the Belle Époque. Diners discover an interior featuring a white marble bar, period moldings and terracotta velvet banquettes. Upstairs, the restaurant reserves a private lounge for 18 people, around a fireplace, for intimate events.
The menu features emblematic dishes. You’ll find beef bourguignon and sole meunière. But also more sophisticated recipes such as linguine with lobster and rack of lamb. Products are carefully selected from renowned producers such as Boucheries Nivernaises and Maison Reynaud for seafood. Throughout the day, an “on-the-go” offer is available, with timeless favourites such as roast chicken and truffle-flavoured coquillettes.

Arboré: the Royal Madeleine’s hidden garden

Arboré lives up to its name. Tucked away behind the Royal Madeleine, it boasts a terrace planted with trees, in absolute calm.
The cuisine, based on the market, makes the most of simple products with care. The chef plays the card of precision without excess.
At lunchtime, the business clientele mingles with local regulars. In the evening, the atmosphere is more subdued.
A rare address where discreet luxury and natural freshness coexist.

Kaspia: the Parisian caviar tradition

Kaspia remains an institution for lovers of caviar, salmon and iced vodka. Since 1927, this address has retained its timeless elegance.
The dark woodwork and white tablecloths tell the story of another Paris. The service retains a certain ceremonial quality.
Potatoes with caviar, an indestructible classic, are always a delight.
For a mother who loves self-assured pleasures and places steeped in history, this is the perfect place.
