Thoumieux hosts private dinners, team meals, client lunches, birthdays and cocktail parties in a first-floor private salon that seats 2 to 20 guests or takes up to 40 for a cocktail, and the brasserie below takes group bookings through its sales team. Thoumieux is a Paris brasserie with a four-star boutique hotel upstairs, at 79 rue Saint-Dominique in the 7th arrondissement, between the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides.
Seminars and company events
The private salon on the first floor was designed as a private dining room. It suits a team dinner, a client lunch, a board dinner after a day of meetings or a small launch cocktail. On request, the house adds a private chef, a private bartender and a DJ playing vinyl records. Groups of more than eight people at the brasserie are handled by the sales team, which also quotes for privatizations.
The site does not list projection equipment or meeting packages, so Thoumieux works best for the dinner or reception of a program rather than for the working sessions. The hotel upstairs makes it practical for a small group of visiting executives who want to sleep and dine at the same address.
Rooms and capacities
The private salon takes 2 to 20 guests at a seated meal and up to 40 for a standing cocktail. Clients choose between the lively brasserie and the quieter salon upstairs. Capacity for a full privatization of the brasserie is not published.
At weekends, from 8:30 pm, the first floor also runs as the Thoumieux Record Bar, a cocktail bar built around vinyl records, so check availability of the salon on Friday and Saturday evenings. On Sundays, a salon upstairs hosts creative workshops for children during the brunch.
Accommodation
The hotel sits above the brasserie. It offers four room categories: Classic rooms of 12 square meters, Superior rooms of 18 square meters with a desk corner, Deluxe rooms of 25 square meters with a sitting area and a table designed by India Mahdavi, and Prestige rooms of 33 square meters under the roofs. Deluxe rooms face rue Saint-Dominique or the inner courtyard, with a shower or a bathtub. The total number of rooms is not published.
Catering
Food comes from the brasserie kitchen. The menu revisits French brasserie classics, with dishes such as eggs mimosa, frisée salad with lardons and rigatoni with morels. A brunch with a dessert buffet is served on Sundays. For events in the salon, menus are set with the sales team, and drinks can be run by a private bartender. The brasserie serves lunch from noon to 2:30 pm and dinner from 7 pm to 11 pm every day.
History and setting
Thoumieux has served diners on rue Saint-Dominique since 1923. The brasserie keeps its red velvet banquettes, mirrors and moldings. The interiors of the hotel and the private salon are by India Mahdavi, working with the design studio M/M (Paris), and mix references to the 1940s, 1950s and 1970s with warm and cool materials. The house compares the mood of the salon to the films of Claude Chabrol and Claude Sautet, with the feel of a country house brought to the city. Thoumieux belongs to the Beaumarly group.
Getting there
Rue Saint-Dominique runs through the 7th arrondissement between the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides. La Tour-Maubourg metro and the Invalides metro and RER station are within walking distance. For a group dinner, plan taxis or a coach drop-off on the street, as parking in the area is limited.
