Gavroche hosts business dinners, cocktail dinners, birthdays, small private meetings and celebrations, with three rooms that can be privatized, the largest for about 100 guests. The restaurant occupies three floors at 4 rue du Mont-Cenis, at the top of the Montmartre hill in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, a short walk from the Place du Tertre and the Sacré-Cœur.
Seminars and company events
For companies, Gavroche works as the place for a team dinner, a client evening or a cocktail after a day of meetings held elsewhere. The Isabelle room, the smallest, is suited to restricted groups and private meetings. The Jean Valjean room is mid-sized and more intimate. The Victor Hugo room on the first floor takes up to about 100 guests and is the room for a company party or a large networking evening. A DJ can be booked as an option for an evening event, and drinks and room hire are arranged to match the group.
Weddings and receptions
The restaurant sells private receptions such as birthdays and family celebrations, built around a cocktail-dinner format of small plates. Three set formulas are offered: a light one with a privatized room according to availability, an intermediate one with a wider choice of room up to 100 guests, and a complete one with room hire and an optional DJ. Each includes wine or beer. Menus can be adapted for vegetarian, gluten-free and allergy needs. Weddings are not named on the site, so ask the team directly about a reception of that kind.
Rooms and capacities
The restaurant has five distinct spaces over three levels, and its terrace has 18 tables. Three rooms are offered for private hire: Victor Hugo, on the first floor, for up to about 100 people; Jean Valjean, of intermediate size; and Isabelle, the smallest. Capacities for the two smaller rooms are not published, and the room is assigned according to group size and availability on the date.
Catering
The kitchen serves home-style French cooking with continuous service every day from noon. For events, the cocktail menu is made of miniature versions of house dishes: mimosa eggs, snails, leeks in vinaigrette and a small salad; mini burgers, including a vegetarian one, beef and salmon tartare and a small croque; then brownie, tarte Tatin and fruit. Seated menus combine a starter and a main course or a main course and a dessert. On the regular menu, guests find French onion soup, crème brûlée and a burger named Lutèce. The kitchen is led by chef Laurent Capdeville.
History and setting
The name honors Gavroche, the street boy of Victor Hugo's Les Misérables, and two of the private rooms carry the names of Hugo and of Jean Valjean. The team comes from many countries. The three floors mix modern and classic decor. The restaurant notes that it stands near the highest natural point in Paris, about 128 meters above sea level, which places a group dinner within a few steps of the views from the hill.
Getting there
The address is 4 rue du Mont-Cenis, 75018 Paris. The restaurant sits at the top of Montmartre, two steps from the Place du Tertre and close to the Sacré-Cœur basilica. The streets around it are steep and narrow, so plan guest arrivals on foot from the nearest transport and ask the team about access for anyone with reduced mobility.
