The concept

mum's boys

A trip back

to childhood

The Les Fils à Maman story began in Paris in 2009, when three childhood friends — Julien, Laurent and Alban — decided to share their love of the comforting food they grew up with. Their idea? To create unique restaurants serving feel-good dishes “just like Mum used to make”. Since then, many more Les Fils à Maman restaurants have opened across France.

Step through our doors and bam… you’re straight back in the ’80s and ’90s. Like real-life time machines, Les Fils à Maman restaurants bring back your favourite childhood memories with interiors packed with posters, cassette tapes, pop colours and nostalgic references that speak to an entire generation. You’ll bump into Goldorak, Club Dorothée, Wednesday-morning cartoons and the iconic TV nights we all grew up with.

Comfort food with

a nostalgic twist

At Les Fils à Maman, every dish brings back childhood memories with a modern twist. Here, indulgence goes hand in hand with homemade cooking: generous recipes prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Coquillettes, homemade cordon bleu or desserts made with chocolate spread… Our menu gives the classics a fresh take, with plenty of warmth and creativity. Comforting food that celebrates togetherness and the simple pleasure of sharing a good meal, just like around the family table.

For kids…

and big kids too

Kids are always welcome — and that’s non-negotiable!
All our restaurants are family-friendly, with a relaxed atmosphere where everyone can feel at home. We love lively tables, bursts of laughter and happy little foodies.

Special menus for the kids, games, and even workshops on Sunday lunchtimes while the grown-ups enjoy brunch!

2009

The adventure begins: the very first Les Fils à Maman opens in Paris.

Les Fils à Maman puts a fresh spin on the food “we grew up with”. And the nostalgia doesn’t stop at the plate: the decor is packed with objects and characters that defined our childhood. MacGyver, Starsky & Hutch, Candy and Goldorak rub shoulders with record players and Minitels, all to the soundtrack of iconic ’80s and ’90s hits.

The whole thing comes together in an industrial setting with the warm, relaxed feel of a classic French bistro.
