La Habana Paris is a Cuban restaurant at 163 rue de Tolbiac in the 13th arrondissement of Paris that can be privatized for up to 60 guests. It hosts team dinners, year-end parties, client dinners, team-building evenings, farewell drinks, birthdays and discreet private receptions. Seated dinners work best for 20 to 50 guests, and a standing cocktail-dinner format suits 30 to 60. A smaller group of 10 to 20 can have part of the room reserved.
Seminars and company events
Company privatization is the venue's second main offer after birthdays. The restaurant lists six formats: a team dinner (15 to 60 guests, seated, with cocktails to open), a year-end party (cocktail dinner with a DJ or playlist, in high demand in December), a team-building evening (a cocktail workshop with the bartender, a salsa introduction with an outside teacher, or a blind tasting), a farewell drink (a short cocktail of 1 hour 30 to 2 hours, or a longer dinner), a client dinner, and an after-work that starts at 7:00 p.m. with cocktails and moves into dinner.
The venue offers one point of contact for room, menu and service, and issues a company invoice with VAT and company registration number. Payment at 30 days is possible. Start times of 7:00, 7:30 or 8:00 p.m. are adapted to the guests' schedules. This is an evening dining venue, not a seminar room: the official pages do not describe screens, a plenary space or daytime meeting equipment.
Weddings and receptions
The restaurant presents a private-reception format for a discreet wedding, a family celebration or a private party, in an intimate setting that does not need heavy decoration. Birthday privatizations are a specialty, including surprise parties coordinated with the organizer on arrival, music and lighting. Guests may bring a birthday cake.
Rooms and capacities
The venue is a single restaurant room that can be used in whole or in part. Full privatization goes up to 60 guests. Seated dinners are advised for 20 to 50, cocktail-dinner formats for 30 to 60, and a reserved section of the room for 10 to 20. The space can be configured for seated service or for circulation, and the bar stays on site.
Catering
Cuisine and drinks are in-house. Dishes named on the official pages include ropa vieja, camarones al ajillo, pork fricassee, vegetarian options and a coconut flan for dessert, and the bar prepares mojitos, Cuba Libre and daiquiris to order. Company menus come in three versions: a signature formula with a starter, a main course and a dessert, a cocktail-dinner formula of circulating sharing plates, and a lighter team-building formula with a cocktail workshop or salsa introduction.
History and setting
Roxana, the founder, opened the restaurant in 2018, bringing family recipes from Havana. The room has warm wood, Cuban music and a lively bar, and the team presents it as a place that already has its own atmosphere rather than an empty hall to decorate. Salsa evenings and lessons are part of the house offer.
Getting there
The restaurant is at 163 rue de Tolbiac, 75013 Paris, about 3 minutes from Tolbiac metro station on line 7. It is convenient for offices in the 13th and 5th arrondissements and around Chevaleret, Nationale and Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand. Quotes are returned within 24 to 48 hours, and Sunday events are possible on request.
