Bolea is a bistro restaurant in Paris 17e with a private salon that takes up to 18 guests. It suits a company lunch, a dinner with clients, a team celebration or a birthday, in a setting where the cooking is the main point. The restaurant is at 30 rue du Printemps. The official site gives one capacity, 18 guests in the private salon, and this page does not go beyond it.
Seminars and company events
The private salon is offered for a birthday, a dinner among friends and a business meal. For companies, the useful formats are the working lunch, the dinner with a client or partner, and a small team meal at the end of a project or a quarter. With 18 seats the salon works for a department, a management committee or a client delegation.
There is no seminar offer and no meeting-room equipment listed on the official site. If you need presentations, ask the restaurant what is possible before planning a program. A restaurant salon is best used for a meal, a toast and conversation.
Weddings and receptions
The official site does not offer weddings. The salon can host a family dinner or a small celebration of up to 18 guests.
Rooms and capacities
The private salon holds up to 18 guests. The restaurant says it can be hired privately, but the site does not publish its dimensions, its layout or whether the rest of the dining room can be hired as well. Ask the team about table plans and technical needs.
The restaurant is closed on Sundays and Mondays. It serves lunch from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday, and dinner starting at 7:30 p.m. The last orders for dinner are at 9:30 p.m. from Tuesday to Thursday and 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, according to the opening hours given.
Catering
The chef works only with fresh, carefully selected products, and the menu changes with the seasons. At lunch, from Tuesday to Saturday, the restaurant serves a menu that changes every week. In the evening, a bistro menu mixes classics and modern cooking. A wine list is also published. The official site does not describe a group menu, so the choice of dishes for 18 guests is something to settle with the restaurant.
History and setting
Bolea has a sister restaurant, Alea, a bistronomic table in Montmartre close to the Sacré-Coeur. Both are run by the same team and share the same attention to fresh produce and a menu led by the market. Bolea itself sits in a residential part of the 17th arrondissement, on a street that feels like a neighborhood restaurant rather than a venue.
The restaurant describes tradition as its point of honor. That sets the tone: a table with a regular clientele, not a stage for a branded event.
Getting there
The restaurant is at 30 rue du Printemps, Paris 17e. The official site does not name a metro station. The nearest metro stops are on line 3 in the Malesherbes and Wagram area, a few minutes on foot. Check your route on a journey planner before the day.
