Getting there and practical details

Neighborhood
Bastille, Paris 4e

Seminars and company events Bofinger is a brasserie at 5-7 rue de la Bastille, between place de la Bastille and place des Vosges in Paris's 4th arrondissement. Its private salons receive business lunches, birthdays, receptions and dinners. The event page lists group meals, cocktails, breakfast conferences and study days of a half or a full day, and recommends the largest salon for seminars and receptions. The largest room holds 90 seated for a meal, 60 in meeting format and 100 for a cocktail.

Three salons are on offer, and each fits a different size of team. A company can use the smaller rooms for a management meeting or a client lunch, and the largest for a seminar followed by a meal. The group that runs the brasserie handles private hire requests through its own events site, and the brasserie's home page links to it from the group and privatization entry.

Rooms and capacities Salon Hansi is the largest room: 90 seated for a meal, 60 in meeting format and 100 for a cocktail. The official event page recommends it for seminars and receptions.

Salon des Continents is a smaller room for 30 seated or 20 in meeting format, recommended for meetings and family meals.

Salon Marqueterie is described as semi-private and seats 45 for a meal. No meeting or cocktail figure is given for it, and its semi-private nature means it may not be closed off from the rest of the brasserie.

Catering The kitchen serves the Alsatian specialties that made the brasserie known: choucroute, vol-au-vent, kouglof and flammekueche. There is also a large seafood display and the classic dishes of French brasserie cooking. The brasserie describes its beer tradition and says it was the first in the capital to introduce beer. Private hire includes meals served in the salons, and the event page lists cocktails and breakfast formats among the options. Menus are agreed with the events team.

The main dining room is open every day, with service at lunch and dinner, a terrace in season, and late opening for after-show dinners.

History and setting The brasserie keeps a historic setting from the late 19th century, with a glass dome, ornate ceilings, woodwork and a wrought-iron staircase. The official text presents it as a Parisian brasserie that has kept its character over the decades, in a part of the Marais close to Bastille. The salons share this decor, and no room-specific history is given.

Getting there The address is 5-7 rue de la Bastille, 75004 Paris. The brasserie lists Bastille metro station, on lines 1, 5 and 8, as the access point. Gare de Lyon is the nearest main-line station, and three public car parks are named nearby: Saint-Antoine, Opéra-Bastille and Ledru-Rollin.
