Le Taillevent offers two private salons on its upper floor for dinners and receptions in the 8th arrondissement of Paris: Salon Guimet, a dining room for up to 12 guests, and Salon Saturne, a historic room for up to 36. The restaurant sits at 15 rue Lamennais, in the area Parisians call the golden triangle, and sells these rooms on request with a quote.
Seminars and company events
The official site presents the salons as places to host you and your guests in complete privacy, and the quote request is the single entry point. It does not publish a dedicated corporate offer, a meeting format or equipment, so this is a venue for hosted dinners and receptions, not for a working day with presentations. The two rooms suit a client dinner, a small board dinner or a reception for a team of up to 36 guests. Organizers who need a meeting setup should ask the restaurant what is possible before planning around it.
Weddings and receptions
The restaurant does not list weddings on its website. The salons are described for exceptional moments among guests, so a family dinner, an anniversary or a small private celebration fits the offer. Salon Guimet works for a table of up to 12, and Salon Saturne for a larger party of up to 36. Any ceremony or music must be agreed with the restaurant directly.
Rooms and capacities
Salon Guimet is the intimate dining room on the upper floor and holds up to 12 guests. Salon Saturne is also on the upper floor, is described as a historic room, and holds up to 36 guests. The site gives no separate figures for seated and standing formats, no surface areas and no information on whether the main dining room can be hired as a whole. These points are confirmed when you request a quote.
Catering
Catering comes from the house. The kitchen is led by chef Philip Chronopoulos, whose cooking the restaurant describes as sensitive and generous, built on the idea of the obvious on the plate. Service follows the French tradition, with dishes finished in the dining room, such as the flambéed crêpes Suzette. The cellar lists more than 3,800 wines and spirits, and the team pairs them with the menu. The restaurant also sells menus built around food and wine pairings.
History and setting
Le Taillevent is a French gastronomy address that has operated for decades and belongs to the Gardinier family, whose brothers Thierry and Laurent sign the chef's presentation on the site. The restaurant is part of the Maisons Taillevent group, which also includes Drouant. Its identity rests on three things: the cuisine, the service à la française and a cellar that mixes famous names with confidential bottlings.
Getting there
The address is 15 rue Lamennais, 75008 Paris, a few minutes from the Champs-Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe. The nearest metro stations are George V and Charles de Gaulle-Étoile. The restaurant serves lunch from Tuesday to Friday, 12:00 to 13:30, and dinner from Monday to Friday, 19:15 to 21:00, so the salons are best planned around these services. Paris Charles de Gaulle airport is the closest major airport.
