Brasserie Jaja can host private events of up to 200 guests, according to its official page, using a terrace and two private areas: a mezzanine and a karaoke box. It is a retro-style brasserie at 8 rue Saint-Denis in Paris 1st, a few steps from Châtelet. The listed occasions are birthdays, afterwork gatherings and company evenings.
Seminars and company events
The official text presents Brasserie Jaja as a place for afterwork drinks and company evenings. It mentions karaoke nights and blind-test evenings that colleagues can book together, which suits a team-building evening more than a formal seminar. The restaurant does not describe a meeting room, a projector or a daytime conference package, so it should be considered for informal gatherings after work rather than for a plenary session.
Weddings and receptions
The service list on the site includes private events and wedding receptions. The page does not give a separate capacity for a wedding, and the only figure stated is the overall 200 guests for festive events. A couple or planner who wants to use the venue for a reception should ask the team how the 200 are split between the dining room, the terrace and the private areas.
Rooms and capacities
Three spaces are named. The terrace is described as spacious. The mezzanine and the karaoke box are the private areas. The site gives no seat count for each of them, so the capacity of the mezzanine, for example, has to be requested directly. The overall limit of 200 guests is the figure to use for early planning.
The restaurant is open every day. Opening hours run from early morning to 1:00 or 2:00 a.m. depending on the day, which leaves room for late evening events. Air conditioning and free Wi-Fi are listed among the services.
Catering
The kitchen serves French brasserie dishes, with steaks, desserts and tiramisu mentioned on the site. Halal and vegetarian options are available, which is useful for mixed groups. A bar offers drinks, and a happy hour is listed. The site does not describe group menus or a cocktail format, so these are points for the quote request.
History and setting
The restaurant sits in the Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois area, close to Châtelet, in a setting inspired by the Paris brasseries of the past. The site also mentions a smoking area, a takeaway service and pets welcome. The legal notice names the operating company as a French limited partnership with its registered office in Paris.
Getting there
Brasserie Jaja is at 8 rue Saint-Denis, 75001 Paris, next to Châtelet, one of the largest Metro and RER interchanges in the city. Several Metro lines and RER A, B and D serve the Châtelet-Les Halles area, which makes the venue easy to reach from the suburbs and from both main airports. Requests can be sent through the contact form on the site, by email or by phone.
