Restaurant Club Matignon, the discreet meeting place for Paris Fashion Week

During Fashion Week, the Matignon becomes a meeting place for fashion insiders.
An elegant place where models, stylists, press attachés and celebrities meet, far from the hustle and bustle of the catwalks.

A stone’s throw from the Champs-Élysées traffic circle, nestled in the heart of the Golden Triangle, the Matignon transforms itself into a veritable backstage venue for Paris Fashion Week. Its hushed ambience, top-flight cuisine and exclusive club make it a sought-after place to extend the catwalk days, but also to conclude business in a discreet atmosphere. This restaurant-club is the perfect embodiment of the chic, unostentatious aesthetic sought after by the fashion world.

Its strategic location – opposite the Théâtre Marigny gardens, right next to the couture boutiques of Avenue Montaigne – makes it a natural choice for lunch between two shows, or dinner after a last-minute fitting. But beyond its location, it’s the art of detail that seduces insiders.

A table popular with the fashion world

Under the signature of decorator Jacques Garcia, the Matignon restaurant offers contemporary, generous and precise French cuisine. Signature dishes such as King Crab salad, spaghetti squid and Matignon French toast attract fashion editors in a hurry as well as models looking for a balanced, elegant lunch.

The menu features seasonal produce and offers a balance between French tradition and more cosmopolitan touches, in keeping with the restaurant’s clientele. Le Tigre qui pleure, the Beaumarly group’s signature dish, remains the house’s signature dish.

The service, both discreet and professional, ensures a moment’s respite in a busy schedule, without ever compromising the high standards of our guests.

A stylish showcase in the image of Fashion Week

The design, by Charles Tassin, evokes a safari club revisited: leopard-print carpets, gold-toned fabrics, subdued lighting and glamorous details create a scene worthy of a photo set. An ambience not lost on the teams of Vogue, Numéro or Purple Magazine, who sometimes hold off-site dinners here.

This confidential setting is perfect for a meeting between designers or a discreet interview with an international celebrity. The Matignon becomes an elegant refuge, far from the flashbulbs, but where we regularly bump into the likes of Kendall Jenner, Olivier Rousteing and Hailey Bieber, who dine incognito.

Club Matignon: the after-show spot

From 11pm, the Matignon changes face. Its underground club, famous throughout Paris, attracts a select crowd. During Fashion Week, it transforms into an exclusive after-party, bringing together models, designers and up-and-coming figures from the music and art scenes.

The musical program is eclectic: house, disco, electro-world, mixed by international DJs, often booked for the occasion. The cocktails are meticulous, the bottles prestigious, and the atmosphere always controlled. There’s no excess or paparazzi here: the Matignon cultivates a select but unpretentious ambience, the opposite of flashy clubs.

In fact, it’s this singular positioning – part refined restaurant, part social club – that makes Le Matignon a must during fashion weeks, for professionals and leading designers alike.

A place for aesthetes

What the Matignon offers during Fashion Week is a complete experience. You dine, you drink, you dance, but above all, you watch. Between avant-garde looks, exchanges in several languages and faces crossed on the biggest catwalks, the place becomes a living observatory of Parisian style.

Paris is one of the world’s major fashion capitals, so it’s only logical that its most emblematic venues should be part of this effervescence. But few, like the Matignon, know how to maintain a balance between visibility and discretion. And that’s precisely what attracts the fashion scene: elegant dining, thoughtful décor, and a club where you can meet without being seen.
