With its sun-drenched terrace, new summer menu, and gourmet brunch, Magdalena is drawing crowds from all over Paris!
Located across from the iconic Madeleine Church, the Magdalena restaurant stands out as one of the most charming spots in the 8th arrondissement. With its new terrace inspired by the French Riviera, seasonal cuisine, and generous Sunday brunch, the restaurant elegantly embodies the Parisian art of living.
Another great perk during heat waves: the restaurant features an air-conditioned dining room where you can enjoy all the elegance of the Magdalena experience, sheltered from the sweltering heat.
A new terrace with a French Riviera vibe on Place de la Madeleine
As soon as the warm weather arrives, the Magdalena’s terrace becomes one of the neighborhood’s most pleasant spots. Completely redesigned for the season, it features a chic, sun-drenched vibe inspired by the French Riviera: comfortable armchairs, bright colors, and a summery atmosphere come together to create a setting that immediately invites you to slow down.
But its greatest asset is undoubtedly its exceptional location. Situated across from the Église de la Madeleine, one of the most beautiful squares in Paris, it offers a setting that is as elegant as it is lively. Between the Haussmann-style facades, the sophisticated boutiques, and the neighborhood’s vibrant energy, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a whole new world. It’s the perfect spot for a sunny lunch, a drink at the end of the day, or dinner as night falls.
A summer menu that celebrates French classics
Just like the restaurant itself, the cuisine at Le Magdalena offers a modern take on the great classics of French gastronomy. Seasonal ingredients, hearty dishes, and meticulous preparation come together in a menu designed to appeal to both fans of contemporary brasserie cuisine and discerning gourmets.
The dishes showcase summer flavors: delicately prepared fish, high-quality meats, seasonal vegetables, and indulgent desserts come together in a style that is both refined and approachable. All of this is served in an elegant setting that draws inspiration from both the grand Parisian brasseries and the hushed ambiance of luxury hotels. It’s an experience where guests come as much for the food as for the atmosphere.
The Sunday brunch that transforms your summer Sundays
Every Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Magdalena serves up one of the most generous brunches in the capital. Designed in true “palace” style, the menu features an all-you-can-eat buffet where every dish is made in-house, from pastries to desserts to savory dishes.
For €69 per adult and €45 per child, guests can enjoy a wide selection of specialties inspired by France’s culinary heritage in a warm and elegant atmosphere. Depending on your preference, you can enjoy the air-conditioned dining room or sit on the terrace facing the Madeleine to fully savor the sunny days.
On June 21, in celebration of Fête de la Musique, brunch will take on an even more festive atmosphere with a singer-violinist performing throughout the meal, both inside the restaurant and on the terrace. It’s a wonderful opportunity to combine fine dining, music, and the Parisian art of living in one of the capital’s most iconic neighborhoods.
