A Finnish café in the heart of Paris

Café Maa at Institut finlandais is the perfect place to experience Finnish gastronomy in the heart of Paris. Its name — maa, meaning “earth” in Finnish — reflects our humble and close relationship with nature.

Committed to a sustainable approach, the café highlights fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients, with a menu that changes several times a year.
