Frivole takes private dinners, brand evenings, press nights, launches, fashion shows and afterworks for up to 80 seated guests or more than 200 standing when the whole restaurant is booked. It is the restaurant and cocktail bar of the hotel La Maison Champs Elysées, at 8 rue Jean Goujon in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, a few steps from avenue Montaigne.
Seminars and company events
The venue sells full privatization for company and brand events: product launches, confidential showcases, press evenings, fashion shows, seated dinners, cocktail receptions and afterworks. The team describes the space as modular and fully equipped, and builds each format around the brief, from a seated dinner to a standing party with an open bar. A client evening can move through several spaces: welcome drinks in the garden, dinner in a private salon, then music in the main room.
Rooms and capacities
The restaurant seats 80 and holds more than 200 standing. It has a glass-roofed dining room and a shaded terrace. The private hire offer names two salons, the Salon Empire and the Salon Louis XIII, the latter presented for an exclusive private reception, and an outdoor garden for cocktails. Capacities for the salons and the garden are not published, so the events team confirms numbers for each project. The Frivole Cigar Lounge, open by reservation, has a cigar cellar by Cigars & Memories, signature cocktails and rare spirits, and can close a dinner for a small group.
Accommodation
Frivole is part of La Maison Champs Elysées, so speakers, clients or a management team can stay in the hotel upstairs. Bedrooms are booked with the hotel.
Catering
Food and drink come from the restaurant's own kitchen and bar. Lunch is light French cooking built on seasonal produce. In the evening the menu turns to barbecue on the terrace, beef Wellington to share and pavlova. For events, the team offers cocktail canapés, group menus, tailored drinks packages and an open bar with Champagne. Signature cocktails include the Frivole Sour and the Jardin Secret.
History and setting
The hotel and its restaurant are destinations of Centaurus Hospitality Odyssey, managed by Centaurus Hospitality Management. Frivole is built around a festive table: DJ sets play on Thursday and Friday nights, and live singers and musicians perform on Friday and Saturday. The restaurant opens at 7 a.m. from Monday to Friday, stays open until midnight from Monday to Wednesday and until 2 a.m. on Thursday and Friday, opens at 7 p.m. on Saturday until 2 a.m., and closes on Sunday. The address sits in the Golden Triangle, between the Champs-Elysées, avenue Montaigne and the Seine, a district of fashion houses, luxury hotels and theaters.
Getting there
The restaurant is at 8 rue Jean Goujon, 75008 Paris. Franklin D. Roosevelt metro station (lines 1 and 9) and Alma-Marceau (line 9) are a short walk away, and the RER C stops at Pont de l'Alma across the river. Paris Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports are reached by taxi or by RER.
