Founded in 1922, Le Boeuf sur le Toit moved around frequently, landing at its current address in 1941. Fashion designer Alexis Mabille has redesigned the space in the spirit of an Art Deco “temple” with Egyptian-inspired accents, divided into three spaces: a brasserie, a bar and a music hall. It marks Mabille’s second collaboration with Moma Group, following Froufrou. The restaurant group, headed by entrepreneur Benjamin Patou, runs famed Paris eateries including Lapérouse, Mamo and Ran, as well as nightlife venues such as cabaret Manko and nightclub L’Arc Paris.
Chef Jean-Pierre Vigato - previously of the two-Michelin-starred Chez Albert restaurant - serves up the great classics of Parisian brasserie. Among the signature dishes is the “Boeuf sur le boeuf,” a beef steak served on a bed of boeuf bourguignon sauce, alongside traditional brasserie fare such as seafood platters and bouillabaisse. Desserts include French classics like profiteroles, baba au rhum and crème brûlée. Meanwhile, the bar serves cocktails with Dadaist names.
