Indiana Café Bonne Nouvelle can host afterworks, team evenings, birthdays and company events for 25 to 60 guests on a fully privatized upper floor, in a two-level American-style restaurant and bar that holds 150 people in total. It stands at 42 bis boulevard de Bonne Nouvelle in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, opposite the Grand Rex.
Seminars and company events
This is a place for informal professional gatherings rather than for formal seminars. The official site presents the privatization offer for afterworks, birthdays and professional events, with a festive atmosphere, cocktails, tapas and a tailored service. A team evening, a farewell drink, a client cocktail or a small launch party fits the upper floor. Event requests are handled through a form on the Indiana Café site, which asks the guest to choose the restaurant concerned and to give contact details. The brand is a chain, but each restaurant sets its own privatization terms.
Rooms and capacities
The restaurant spreads over two levels and receives 150 people in total. The upper floor can be privatized entirely. The site gives it as suitable for 25 to 60 guests. A capacity table on the Bonne Nouvelle page lists 45 seated and 50 standing for the upper floor, while the venue selector indicates 60 people. Organizers should confirm the figure for their format with the restaurant.
No meeting equipment, projection or plenary layout is described. The space is a bar and restaurant floor, best suited to standing receptions, tapas dinners and parties.
Catering
Catering is in-house and follows the restaurant concept: American atmosphere, Tex-Mex cuisine, tapas and a cocktail list that includes extra-large cocktails. A happy hour runs every day from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the restaurant. The site does not describe set menus for groups, so the formula for an event is agreed with the team.
History and setting
Indiana Café presents itself as a pioneer of North American restaurants in France, with locations across Paris, the Paris region and other cities. The Bonne Nouvelle address faces the Grand Rex cinema and sits close to several theaters, including the Théâtre du Gymnase Marie Bell, the Théâtre des Nouveautés and the Théâtre des Variétés, as well as the Jamel Comedy Club. That makes it a convenient stop for an evening that includes a show.
Getting there
The nearest metro station is Bonne Nouvelle, served by lines 8 and 9. The restaurant is open every day with continuous service, from 10 a.m. on weekdays to 12:30 a.m., and until 2 a.m. on weekends, according to the page. The address is 42 bis boulevard de Bonne Nouvelle, 75010 Paris.
