What People Are Saying About Madame Matisse
The Editor

Located a couple doors down from Millie’s, which is usually mobbed in comparison, this tiny neighborhood café is best known for its all-day breakfast. Inside, a few tables and stools perched in the window are crammed into a well-worn space featuring high ceilings, exposed bricks and a compact kitchen close enough to hear the constant sizzle of the grill. The breezier seats are the two-tops lining the sidewalk outside, shaded by a striped awning and plenty of umbrellas. On the menu, breakfast favorites include French toast served with orange syrup, a ratatouille skillet of stewed vegetables…

Central to the Silverlake/Los Feliz breakfast scene.

I like Madame Matisse, but agree sometimes it can be Miss. I haven't had any problems with cold dishes or bad coffee, but every now and then the food is kind of bland. However, I like the location, its convenient for me to meet friends that live on the other side of town there. The staff is friendly and the patrons patient given the tight quarters. Parking is the only continuous problem since this venue competes with other similar restaurants close by. I can say I like this place, and have no problem recommending it, but its not my favorite breakfast place in town.
- Pros: Good food, conveniently located.
- Cons: Bad parking kharma.

After my second visit, still horribly underwhelmed by this restaurant. Now I know that silverlake/echo park isn't known for their taste in food so, granted, butl after a cold, tasteless omelet and equally cold, over cooked potatoes...i went back AGAIN just to be fair. Guess what? The food was terrible again. Okay, terrible may be a bit harsh but my wife ordered the berry pancakes and another omelet. Both freaking tasteless, the pancake in particular (although pretty) was just completely bland. The case is officially closed on Matisse for us. If the "taste" of your food is your prime directive, see you at The Griddle or Marston's.
- Cons: Bad food on multiple visits

Cute, cozy and sophisticated bistro

I love Madame Matisse. There is only room for about 20 people to eat at any given time, but the food is so good, and the ambience so inviting, you won't notice that the restaurant is rather petite. The breakfast is always tasty and cooked right to order, and the coffee is yummy too. I asked my boyfriend what he'd say about this restaurant -- he is a man of few words -- all he said was "GOOD!" So that sums it up!
The Details on Madame Matisse
Look Good:
If you're dining on a Saturday, venture over to the farmers' market across the street afterward to walk off your meal.
Know Before You Go:
Once a popular corkage-free dinner spot, the restaurant is now closed at night, probably permanently.
Save Time:
This is a staple brunch spot for Eastsiders, and can get super packed. Arrive before 10am for a shorter wait time, while the Spaceland crowd is still sleeping.
