Jungle Palace Paris takes private bookings for company evenings, product launches, team dinners, seminars and birthdays, for groups from 16 people up to 130 guests standing. The whole restaurant can be booked for a seated meal or a cocktail. Jungle Palace is one of the immersive restaurants of the Ephemera group, at 12 rue de la Fidélité in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, near Gare de l'Est.
Seminars and company events
Ephemera sells conferences, seminars, launches, film shoots and end-of-year parties in its restaurants. For a group of more than 16, the events team builds a tailored format. The restaurant's screens can be customized with a company's visuals, the space can be reconfigured, and entertainment can be added. The group also offers dry hire, where the client books the space without catering and runs the event as it wishes.
The setting is the main reason to choose the place: guests walk into an abandoned building overgrown by jungle, with video mapping produced by an animation studio and sets built by a former film set designer. Even the tableware follows the theme. For a team dinner or a client evening, the decor does much of the work that a hired entertainer would otherwise do.
Rooms and capacities
The event offer covers the entire restaurant. The group's private-hire page lists Jungle Palace Paris 10 for 130 guests standing and 123 seated, while its events brochure gives 100 for a seated meal and 130 for a cocktail. Plan on the lower seated figure unless the team confirms otherwise. For groups under 16, a regular table booking applies.
Catering
All dishes are made in house from fresh, seasonal produce, with exotic flavors inspired by tropical regions and vegetarian options. For events, the brochure lists cocktail menus of 13, 15 or 18 pieces, with vegetarian, fish, meat and dessert pieces such as salmon tartare, shrimp curry, chicken skewers and chocolate mousse. Live-cooking stations can be added: a made-to-order ceviche, a guacamole bar and a profiterole station. Seated menus come in three or five courses, with a choice of starters, main courses and desserts. Breakfast formats are also possible. The general menu has an average ticket of about 30 euros for regular guests, and a children's menu exists.
History and setting
Ephemera runs immersive restaurants in several French cities: Jungle Palace in Paris and at Valvert in Le Plessis-Pâté, Stellar in Paris 11, Under the Sea in Issy-les-Moulineaux and Montpellier, Magmatic in Lille and Wonderwoods in Angers and Val d'Europe. Each venue has its own theme. Jungle Palace Paris recreates the Amazon, with dense plants, animal figures and changing light. The restaurant has free wifi, step-free access and high chairs.
Getting there
The address is 12 rue de la Fidélité, 75010 Paris. Château d'Eau metro station (line 4) and Gare de l'Est (metro lines 4, 5 and 7, plus mainline trains) are within walking distance, and the brochure also lists RER B. The restaurant is open every day for lunch and dinner, so private hire is arranged around regular service; ask the team which slots are available.
