Bicla can be taken in exclusive use for private dinners and company events of up to 30 guests: 15 at the table for a served dinner, or 30 standing for a buffet reception. The restaurant is at 46 rue Monsieur-le-Prince in the 6th arrondissement of Paris and serves modern Mexican cuisine, with a turnkey menu prepared by its chef and team.
Seminars and company events
Bicla presents its privatization as a complete package for company events, private dinners, celebrations and cocktail receptions. The kitchen and service team handle everything from the first drink to the last course, so an organizer does not need to find a separate caterer. The chef and the service staff stay with the group for the whole event.
The format suits small groups: a client dinner, a team celebration at the end of a seminar day, an afterwork or a launch cocktail. Two formats are stated on the official site. The served option, with guests seated at the table, takes 15 people. The refined standing buffet takes 30. Menus are described as all inclusive, with an aperitif, a starter, a main course, a dessert and drinks.
The site does not describe a meeting room, screens or a plenary space. Treat Bicla as the place for the social part of a programme, not for working sessions.
Rooms and capacities
The offer covers the restaurant itself, taken as a whole. There is no list of separate rooms. Capacity depends on the format you choose.
- Served dinner at the table: 15 guests.
- Standing buffet reception: 30 guests.
The presentation of the restaurant also mentions indoor and outdoor dining areas. The site does not say whether the outdoor area belongs to a privatization, so confirm this when you describe your event.
Catering
Cooking is the heart of the offer. Bicla is built around tacos de canasta, steamed tacos that the restaurant presents as its signature, and the privatization menus follow the same Mexican approach. For standing receptions the team prepares cocktail pieces and house drinks, and can add a live tacos de canasta station run by the chef. Each service is described as fully adaptable to the group's wishes. The chef is Othoniel Álvarez Castañeda, who started in Mexico and completed his training in France.
The same team also caters at the client's own premises, with or without a stand: buffets, themed menus, meal boxes and live tacos stations for afterworks, business lunches, seminars and team building, as well as birthdays, weddings and private parties. Company meal boxes start at seven menus, and the team can adapt them to vegetarian or gluten-free requests.
History and setting
The restaurant stands in the Odéon area, on a street that the venue describes as a former medieval path, later the residence of the princes of Condé. Inside, natural materials sit beside Mexican artworks. The restaurant states that it buys local and seasonal ingredients, limits food waste and uses biodegradable products.
Getting there
The address is 46 rue Monsieur-le-Prince, Paris 6e, in the Latin Quarter. The Odéon métro station and the Luxembourg Gardens are a short walk away. Guests arriving by train reach the area from Gare du Nord or Gare de Lyon with a metro change.
