It’s not an easy task to leave an impression in the ultimate city of love, light and romance.- Matignon Restaurant and bar in Paris proves to be an exception to this feat. In true parisian style, Matignon lives up to its name with its sumptuous setting and lavish interiors. In golden and bronze hues, the restaurant exudes a glamorous take on french cuisine with its fashionably elegant setting and cosmopolitan vibe.

For those in the mood to glam up, looking for a chic night out- this is the place. The food takes a westernized, innovative brasserie twist that would appeal to a wide range of palates. From the chicken ceasar salad in the entree’s to the more traditional Veal Milanese and Roast chicken in the Plats, the food is delicious. For those looking to carbicide, the Matignon Croque Monsieur, Truffle Pizza and the Big Mat Burger are great options to indulge. I’d highly recommend Matignon’s in-house dessert speciality- the French Toast which is possibly the best french toast known to mankind. The Red berry pavlova is another great option for a sweet craving.

The portion sizes aren’t too large given what you might pay for them but you don’t really visit a place like this for the authenticity or value of the cuisine- rather, the stylish scene, catchy music and great cocktails while you’re surrounded by the creme de la creme of Paris.

Perfect to have dinner with a large group of friends over a celebratory occasion or perhaps an impromptu girls night out, the seating is cozy and intimate. You can catch celebrities and models alike during Paris Fashion Week on the 8 to 10 people dinner tables laughing the night away.

For those not willing to call it a night post-dinner, they can dance the night away in the Matignon nightclub in the basement. With trending beats and bottle service, Matignon is one of the best underground clubs in Paris.
