About Us

“No sooner had the warm liquid mixed with the crumbs touched my palate than a shudder ran through me and I stopped, intent upon the extraordinary thing that was happening to me.”
In Search of Lost Time – Marcel Proust
A few variations of legend exist on the origin of the small, shell-shaped cakes we know as the Madeleine. The most popular hails from the French region of Lorraine, where Madeleine Paulmier, is said to have prepared them for Louis XV and his wife, Maria Leszczyńska.

The recipe is astonishingly simple – a genoise batter made of flour, butter, eggs and milk with a touch of lemon juice and zest.

Its magic, which has inspired countless stories, relies on the simple elegance of good ingredients, reminding us of the value of quality produce.

At Madeleine, we joined the poets, bakers and gourmets inspired by the humble French cake. For us, the madeleine perfectly embodies the tenets of French cuisine, which pays homage to the land and the producers on it by treating ingredients with the utmost respect.  

Our vision is to provide you with dishes as simple and elegant as the madeleine, which ignite memories and elevate the senses.  By working closely with local producers who place quality and sustainability at the forefront, we hope to realise this vision.

Madeleine's atmosphere is truly one of a kind. During the day, our rear dining area is a light-filled, secluded room that opens up to a beautiful garden courtyard. In the evening it transforms into an intimate, candle-lit space with a rustic touch - the perfect blend of comfort and sophistication.

We can't wait for you to visit us and experience all that Madeleine has to offer.

À bientôt!
