Le Café 42 de Montrouge can be booked for business and private events, with an indoor room for 80 seated or 130 standing guests and a terrace for 70 seated or 125 standing. The venue is a café-restaurant at 42 rue Barbès in Montrouge, in the Hauts-de-Seine, just south of Paris, and the team offers its spaces for hire alongside a catering service.
Seminars and company events
The official site lists seminars, brainstorming sessions, meetups, team-building, farewell drinks, general meetings and committees among the professional events it hosts. The indoor room is the main option: 80 seated or 130 standing, enough for a company meeting followed by a lunch or an after-work gathering. The terrace adds 70 seated or 125 standing places in good weather and can serve as a second space for a reception or a break.
The venue lists a morning offer, an afterwork format and an à la carte service for groups. Because the café keeps weekday opening hours (Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.) and is closed on weekends, regular business use fits naturally: a breakfast meeting, a working lunch or an evening drink for a team.
Weddings and receptions
Private events are on the list too: birthdays, weddings, christenings and other family occasions. The site names the same rooms for these, so the capacity figures above apply. Because the café is closed on weekends in its normal schedule, confirm with the team which dates are open for a private event on a Saturday or Sunday.
Rooms and capacities
- Indoor room: 80 seated, 130 standing.
- Terrace: 70 seated, 125 standing.
- Large private room with a kitchen and private terrace: the site gives a figure of up to 6 people.
- Upscale apartments: from 1 to 6 people.
- At your offices: the chef's kitchen can be brought to your own premises.
The figure for the private room and the apartments is small. Treat these as options for a short stay or a small meeting, and ask the team how they work with the main room.
Accommodation
The official page mentions upscale apartments for 1 to 6 people. The listing gives no number of apartments, no layout and no rate, so ask the team for details if you need to house a few guests.
Catering
Catering is the strongest part of the offer, and it is described in formats. A breakfast includes coffee, tea, milk drinks, pastries, cakes and desserts made by the chef. The afterwork tapas format features house fries, charcuterie and cheese boards, fish fritters and vegetarian plates. A plated menu offers a starter, main course and dessert from a seasonal card. The catering format is built around 6, 9 or 12 pieces, with a choice of classic or premium drinks packages. A buffet with starter, main, dessert and coffee can be delivered to your offices. Workshop formats include oysters with champagne, ham carved to order, raclette, barbecue and seared scallops on a plancha. The kitchen is led by Chef Frédéric Macé.
