Cabaret Baila Restaurant is a 430 m² event venue in a listed 1837 townhouse at 2 rue Frochot, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, near Pigalle. It can be privatized for up to 360 guests at a cocktail, 170 seated or 130 in a theatre layout, by day or in the evening, with an in-house caterer, a stage and a dance floor.
Seminars and company events
The official hire page lists seminars, company evenings, gala dinners, product launches and cocktails among its formats. The room can be hired in the daytime and in the evening, and the site describes it changing through the day: a working session in the morning, a cocktail in the early evening and a dance party at night. The stated capacities are 360 guests standing at a cocktail, 170 seated for dinner and 130 in a theatre layout for plenaries and conventions.
A dedicated team designs the event with the client. The site also mentions filming and photo shoots. For a large table without hiring the whole venue, a separate group offer exists.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings and birthdays are listed among the events the venue welcomes. The room has a stage, a sound system, lights, a dance floor, DJ sets and live music, which supports an evening that moves from a seated dinner to dancing. The 170-seat dinner capacity is the figure to use for a wedding meal. The site mentions neither a ceremony space nor overnight accommodation, so a couple would arrange those separately.
Rooms and capacities
The venue is presented as a single modular space of more than 430 m². Under the large stained-glass window, the room can be set for 170 seated guests, opened for 360 standing guests or arranged for 130 in rows. The hall is a dance venue, with a stage and sound and lighting equipment. The site gives no further room names.
Catering
An in-house catering service is part of the offer, so no outside caterer has to be found. It adapts the house's French and Latin fusion cooking to event formats: cocktail dinners, buffets and seated dinners served at the table. Dishes use seasonal produce prepared in the house. Vegetarian, organic, vegan and gluten-free options are listed, as are wine and champagne pairings from established houses. Desserts are signed by a Meilleur Ouvrier de France pastry chef. The team says it serves anything from 20 to 360 guests.
History and setting
The building is a townhouse dating from 1837, and its facades, roofs and stained-glass window are listed as historic monuments. The window shows Hokusai's wave and was made in 1929 by the master glassmaker Georges Hagnauer. It dates from the time of the Shangaï, a Chinese-Japanese cabaret of the 1920s. The address has since been an avant-garde theater, a gaming club and a reception hall, and the site links it to Django Reinhardt, Victor Hugo and Toulouse-Lautrec, figures of the same street.
Getting there
The venue is at 2 rue Frochot, 75009 Paris, in the Pigalle district. The official page lists the Pigalle métro station (lines 2 and 12) and Saint-Georges (line 12), and a Saint-Georges car park.
