Bouillon République can host business lunches, team dinners, meetings, year-end parties, birthdays and wedding meals for 15 to 140 guests, in four private salons that can be booked one at a time or together. The restaurant stands at 39 boulevard du Temple, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, close to Place de la République.
Seminars and company events
Each salon comes with a projector, sound system, microphone, flipchart and wifi, so a working session can run before or between courses. There is no fixed time slot: salons can be booked through the day and the evening, and the timing is agreed with the sales team. This suits a morning meeting followed by lunch, an afternoon workshop, or a team dinner after work.
Private hire is limited to weekdays. No space is privatized from Friday evening to Sunday evening. For larger groups who do not need a closed room, the restaurant takes group bookings of 20 to 250 guests on weekdays in its main dining rooms.
Practical points listed by the restaurant: the menu can be printed in French or English, payment can be made on site, by bank transfer or through Chorus, the French public-sector invoicing platform, and a booking is confirmed by a signed quote or a card imprint. The salons are accessible to guests with reduced mobility.
Weddings and receptions
The restaurant markets its salons for birthdays, New Year gatherings and wedding meals. The same service in uniform and the same menu apply as in the main room. A couple with 60 guests could take Salon Colmar, while Salon Spindler covers a larger party of up to 120.
Rooms and capacities
Salon Dejazet: 20 to 25 guests.
Salon Provinces: 26 to 45 guests.
Salon Colmar: 50 to 70 guests.
Salon Spindler: 50 to 120 guests.
Combined, the salons take 15 to 140 guests. The whole restaurant covers 1,800 square meters and seats 450.
Catering
Food comes from the restaurant's own kitchens, which cover 600 square meters. The cooking is classic Parisian brasserie fare: fines de claire oysters, full seafood platters, choucroute, ham hock with fries, boeuf bourguignon, eggs mayonnaise, crème brûlée and lemon meringue tart, with bread from Poujauran. Group menus come in four set formats, from a lunch-only menu of three courses with a glass of wine or a soft drink, to a menu with a glass of brut, cheese and coffee. Each menu includes one or more vegetarian options, and compositions change with the seasons.
History and setting
In the 19th century, the Duval butcher's shop in Paris opened eating houses serving its cheaper cuts and their broth at low prices, and the bouillon was born. The team behind Bouillon Pigalle, opened in 2017, took up the format again here, in place of the Alsatian brasserie Chez Jenny. The building was entirely reorganized, while its historic fittings were restored: carved woodwork, marquetry panels by Charles Spindler dating from 1932, period tiles, a revolving door at the entrance, thick tufted carpet and blown-glass globe lamps. The Provinces salon keeps some of this woodwork.
Getting there
The nearest metro station is République, served by lines 3, 5, 8, 9 and 11. Buses 20, 56, 75 and 91 also stop nearby. Groups of more than 20 can write to the reservations team, and the restaurant is open from 11:30 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week.
