Matamata Coffee Bar sur Paris

21/10/2026: I've lived in the neighborhood since 1984... and I've been coming to this excellent establishment ever since! A truly legendary address in the Val-de-Grâce district and in Paris! You'll find a warm welcome (never wavering despite a few changes in staff over the past 41 years!). The current team, led by Rafik, who wants to preserve the very soul of this place, is keeping up this tradition. You'll find excellent beers, especially Belgian ones (hello to all the Belgians!). And a very good traditional menu to accompany them 😉. I especially recommend the mussels and fries! Bouchot mussels and homemade fries! To my American friends, don't miss this Parisian stop, you won't regret it. I've been living in the neighborhood since 1984... and I've been coming to this amazing place ever since!
