Brasserie Fougue Beaupassage

Brasserie Fougue can be hired for events of up to 60 guests, either standing for a cocktail or seated, in whole or in part. It is a French brasserie in Beaupassage, at 53 rue de Grenelle in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, spread over three levels with a terrace, lounges and a speakeasy cocktail bar. It belongs to the Fuga family of Paris venues.

Seminars and company events The official page lists business lunches, private dinners, cocktails, meetings and festive evenings as formats that the venue's spaces adapt to. Groups of more than 15 can hire the brasserie fully or partly, and events of more than 40 guests are handled as private hire. Fuga runs an events team with a request form and a brochure for each venue. There is no dedicated meeting room with equipment described on the pages read, so the setting suits a working lunch or a company dinner better than a full day of presentations.

Weddings and receptions The official pages do not mention weddings. They do describe cocktails, banquets and festive evenings, so a reception in a restaurant format is possible. The Speakeasy de Fougue, a cocktail bar beneath the brasserie, can also be hired for private evenings. It opened on November 7 and offers a private banquet dinner or a party with a hidden-bar setting.

Rooms and capacities The brasserie states 60 guests in cocktail format and 60 in seated format. The spaces cover three levels: a terrace, lounges and the speakeasy. For tables of up to 15 people, a standard reservation applies. Over 15 people, the venue can be hired fully or partly. The speakeasy page shows its own cocktail and seated figures, which are not given in the text read, so ask for them in your request.

Catering The kitchen is led by chef Fany Herpin and cooks French classics with French products: bread from the Secco bakery, coffee roasted in Paris by Tanat, cheeses from Maison Quatrehomme, French meats and Label Rouge poultry. A weekday lunch menu follows the seasons. The bar serves signature cocktails. Menus for groups are agreed with the team.

History and setting Fougue is the Fuga family's address in Beaupassage, a passage on the left bank. The designer Jean-Philippe Demeyer chose bold colors, graphic details and a contemporary brasserie spirit. The speakeasy draws on the free-spirited nights of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, with a striped ceiling, graphic patterns and a lit bar.

Getting there The address is 53 rue de Grenelle, Beaupassage, 75007 Paris. The nearest métro stations are Rue du Bac (line 12), Sèvres-Babylone (lines 10 and 12) and Varenne (line 13). The brasserie is open every day from 8 a.m. to midnight.
