L'Envol receives private groups from 20 guests, up to 170 seated for dinner or 400 at a cocktail, on the rooftop of the Philharmonie de Paris. The restaurant and lounge bar is at 221 avenue Jean Jaurès in the 19th arrondissement. It can be hired in part or in full for seminars, receptions, product launches and private dinners.
Seminars and company events
The official site lists corporate seminars, study days, afterworks, cocktail receptions, company evenings and product launches among the formats the venue hosts. The space can be hired partially or entirely, depending on the size of the group. A dedicated events team follows each project, and requests start at 20 guests.
A study day can combine a working session in the panoramic room with lunch or dinner on the same floor, and the evening can carry on in the lounge bar. The venue also suggests pairing a reception with a concert, an exhibition or a cultural visit at the Philharmonie, which gives a company event a program beyond the meal.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings and private celebrations are on the list of events the restaurant accepts. The rooftop is open air, with a central bar and several possible atmospheres. Lounge furniture and staging can be arranged to match the occasion, and the same events team handles private clients and companies.
Rooms and capacities
The venue offers about 500 square meters of modular space with a panoramic view over Paris. It is organized around two areas: a panoramic dining room with a variable layout, and a lounge bar. The open rooftop, the central bar and the lounge seating allow several set-ups in the same evening. Capacity reaches 170 guests for a seated dinner and 400 in a cocktail layout. Guests arrive by a dedicated private elevator, which keeps the event separate from the rest of the building.
Catering
Catering is in-house. The kitchen is led by chef Thibaut Spiwack, whom the venue presents as a starred chef and a pioneer of sustainable gastronomy, and is run day to day by Rémi Gonzalez. The cooking relies on local and seasonal produce, with a strong place for vegetables and well-raised meat. For events, the chefs and the events team build the menu around the format and the wishes of the host. In the lounge bar, the regular offer is made of plates to share.
History and setting
The Philharmonie de Paris was designed by the Jean Nouvel agency. It is a mineral building with an aluminum envelope and paving decorated with birds, and it is devoted to classical music and to cultural exchange. L'Envol sits on its roof, with a wide view of the Paris skyline and its rooftops. The restaurant is open Wednesday to Saturday evenings and on concert nights, so private hire is the way to use the floor on other days.
Getting there
The address is 221 avenue Jean Jaurès, 75019 Paris, inside the Philharmonie complex at the Parc de la Villette. The official site mentions parking and easy access. The Porte de Pantin station, on metro line 5 and the T3b tramway, is next to the building.
