Gala is a Mediterranean restaurant at 27 rue du Colisée in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, near the Champs-Élysées. A private salon seats 25 guests, and the restaurant offers partial or total hire for business dinners, product launches, cocktails, birthdays and evenings among friends.
Seminars and company events
The private hire page lists business dinners and product launches first among the formats. The salon is the natural choice for a restricted group, such as a leadership dinner, a client evening or a small press event. It is set behind large velvet curtains, with sculpted decoration and low light, and is described as suited to quieter, more confidential dinners.
For a larger company event, the restaurant can be taken partly or entirely, with the team building a program around the date and number of guests. The venue also has a bar, a smoking room and a lounge, so a reception can start with drinks, move to a seated dinner and continue in a different room. The site does not describe a plenary room or presentation equipment, and the venue is better understood as a place for dinners and cocktails than for a working session.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are not listed on the official site. Birthdays, celebrations among close friends and cocktails are, and the salon is presented for family gatherings and small celebrations. A civil wedding dinner for a small group would fit the same private format, but confirm with the team before planning one.
Rooms and capacities
The only stated capacity is that of the private salon: 25 seated guests. The restaurant, bar, smoking room and lounge can be privatized in part or in full, but the site gives no figures for them. The venue spaces include a mezzanine, a main dining room with a patterned rug and sculpted foliage, a staircase and a lounge. When you request a date, give your guest count and the format you prefer so that the team can propose the right combination of spaces.
Catering
The kitchen is led by chef Victor Blanchet, a French chef of Haitian origin who appeared on Top Chef and trained alongside Alain Passard at L'Arpège. His Mediterranean cooking draws on his Caribbean roots and puts vegetables, plants and seafood at the center of seasonal menus. The restaurant also offers wines, champagnes and a cocktail list at the bar. Menus for groups are arranged with the team.
Getting there
Gala is on rue du Colisée, close to the Champs-Élysées and the Franklin D. Roosevelt metro station. The restaurant serves lunch from Monday to Friday between noon and 3 p.m., and dinner every day from 7:30 p.m. to 2 a.m., with the bar and smoking room open on the same evening hours. Private requests are made through the form on the site, with the date, number of guests and a message.
