Bigoudi Rooftop in Paris can be hired in part or in full for company evenings, dinners and receptions, for 125 guests seated or up to 180 standing. It stands at 38 avenue Raymond Poincaré in the 16th arrondissement, with an open-air terrace and a 360-degree view over the city and the Eiffel Tower. The rooftop is run by the Brasseries à la Mode group, which operates four addresses in Paris.
Seminars and company events
The venue page names company evenings next to birthdays and dinners among friends, and the team offers partial or full privatisation. A partial hire suits a drinks reception or a team dinner on one side of the terrace. A full hire suits a client evening, a product announcement for guests who mingle, or a year-end party. The official pages describe no meeting room, projector or plenary set-up, so this is a place for the social side of a programme rather than for a working day. Pair it with a seminar elsewhere in Paris and use the rooftop for the evening.
Rooms and capacities
The group page lists three spaces on the rooftop. Espace La Defense seats 80 or holds 120 standing. Espace Triomphe seats 30 or holds 45 standing. Espace Tour Eiffel seats 10 or holds 25 standing and looks toward the tower. For the whole rooftop, the stated figures are 125 seated and up to 180 standing. The group page adds that group reservations for these spaces were opening soon, so confirm which spaces are available on your date when you write. Groups of up to 12 can book a table online. For more than 12 guests, the team designs the layout with you after you send the group request form, and a brochure is available on the group's website.
Catering
Food and drinks come from the rooftop's own kitchen and bar. The regular service has a full menu at lunch from 12:00 to 15:00 and at dinner from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., and a drinks list with a shorter menu in the afternoon until 6 p.m. The official text does not describe set menus for private events, so agree the format with the team: seated dinner, cocktail reception or drinks only.
History and setting
Bigoudi Rooftop belongs to Brasseries à la Mode, whose other Paris addresses are Brasserie Rosie, Brasserie Rosie Lou and Brasserie Rosie Jolie. The group says its venues welcome from about ten guests up to 250 for company events, depending on the address. The terrace is arranged for use all year. Strong wind or heavy rain can lead the team to cancel service, and guests are told in advance. For an evening event, ask what happens on your date in that case. The venue is accessible to people with reduced mobility and accepts dogs. A valet service runs at lunch and dinner, and the venue asks for smart dress.
Getting there
The address is 38 avenue Raymond Poincaré, 75116 Paris, in the west of the city between the Trocadéro and the Étoile districts. Valet service is offered, which helps with arrivals by car. The Trocadéro metro station is the closest large interchange to check for guests arriving by public transport.
