Origin and history

La Fermette Marbeuf is an emblematic gourmet restaurant founded in 1898 in the Golden Triangle of the Champs-Élysées, in the heart of the 8th arrondissement of Paris. Located at the intersection of 3-5 rue Marbeuf and 24 rue du Boccador, it was initially linked to the nearby Langham Hotel. Its opening coincides with the preparation of the Universal Exhibition of 1900, reflecting the cultural and architectural effervescence of the capital at that time.

The centrepiece of the restaurant is its "Room 1900", a masterpiece of Art Nouveau and Belle Époque style designed as a winter garden. This sumptuous decor, created by architect Émile Hurtré with the artisans Hubert, Martineau and the ceramicist Jules Wielhorski, combines stained glass, frescoes, mosaics and chandeliers. Ranked a historic monument in 1983, this room was restored in 1978 by architect Philippe Cadot, then renovated in 2018 by Emil Humbert and Christophe Poyet for the restaurant Riccardo Giraudi.

The restaurant, next to prestigious venues such as the George V Hotel or the Crazy Horse, embodies the Parisian luxury of the late 19th century. Its original decoration, typical of the 1900s, makes it a rare testimony of the art of living of this period. After decades of gastronomic history, it now houses the Beefbar restaurant, perpetuating its heritage in an exceptional setting.
