CAPO is an Italian bistro at 32 Rue Saint-Sauveur, in the Sentier district of Paris, that groups of 10 to 40 people can book for a private event. Organisers choose between reserving a few tables and hiring the whole venue. The format is relaxed: Neapolitan pizza, cocktails, a playlist the group controls and a room where tables can be pushed back for dancing.
Seminars and company events
CAPO works for the social side of company life rather than for a full-day seminar. The formats listed for the venue include afterworks, farewell drinks, team meals, business meals, professional cocktails and product launches. A group of up to 40 can take the whole venue for the evening, which keeps the room private and lets the team choose its own tone. Decoration is left to the organiser, and the small-venue format keeps the arrangements simple.
The equipment is light and practical. A tablet, a sound system and a Bluetooth connection let the group take over the music. Wi-Fi and air conditioning are available. Board games are freely available, and a quiz or karaoke can be arranged on request. No separate meeting room, screen or plenary layout is described, so a company that needs presentations should look at a different type of space.
Weddings and receptions
CAPO is not a wedding venue and does not describe a wedding offer. It does host birthdays, christening parties, bachelor and bachelorette parties and similar celebrations for up to 40 guests, with a seated meal or a standing evening around pizzas and boards. A couple could consider it for a small pre-wedding dinner or an informal party after a civil ceremony, as long as the guest list stays within 40 and no separate reception room is needed.
Rooms and capacities
There is one room, booked in one of two ways. The first option reserves a few tables for 10 to 40 people. The second privatises the whole establishment, also for 10 to 40 people. Tables can be moved to make space for a dance floor, and a seated meal is possible. Availability and conditions depend on the date, so the venue confirms them when it answers a request.
Catering
The kitchen is Italian and runs continuously. Neapolitan pizzas, panini and Italian boards go with cocktails, wines and beers. Seated meals are offered, as are boards and tapas, and standing cocktail dinners are possible on request. A tailored group offer can also be requested. Organisers can ask to bring their own food, drinks or a birthday cake, which the venue accepts on request, although it does not supply birthday cakes itself.
Getting there
CAPO is in the 2nd arrondissement, in the Sentier neighborhood. The nearest metro station is Sentier on line 3, and Réaumur-Sébastopol is also close. The area is central and easy to reach from across the city, which helps when colleagues arrive from different offices.
