Lou Bistrot receives private and corporate evenings for up to 70 guests seated or 100 at a standing cocktail. It is a Paris bistro at 4 rue du Débarcadère, in the 17th arrondissement, a few steps from place Saint-Ferdinand and close to Porte Maillot.
Seminars and company events
The restaurant serves lunch to the public from Monday to Friday. In the evening the space is dedicated to private and professional events only, either as a seated meal or as a cocktail dinner. For an organiser this means the room is arranged around one group once lunch service has ended, which suits a company dinner, a client reception, a team celebration or an after-work gathering. The official site lists a screen or video projector and a microphone among the services, together with free wifi, a cloakroom and a bar lounge area, so short presentations before or after a meal are possible. There is no separate meeting room on offer, so the address fits evening formats better than full-day seminars.
Weddings and receptions
The site mentions private events and birthdays and does not describe a wedding offer. Families and friends planning a private party can use the same two formats, seated dinner or cocktail. For a wedding reception, ask the team whether the layout and the evening format match your plans before sending a request.
Rooms and capacities
The dining space receives 70 guests at seated tables and 100 at a cocktail. A wooden terrace of about thirty seats is open all year and can extend a reception when the weather allows. The website does not name separate rooms, so the exact layout for your numbers is something to settle with the team. Fixed points to plan around: the venue is accessible to guests with reduced mobility, and an area with a bar and lounge seating is available.
Catering
Cooking is done in-house by the restaurant's chef, in a seasonal and market-led style. For the weekday lunch service the slate is rewritten every week, and the wine list changes through the year according to the owners' choices. For events, the team offers a seated meal or a cocktail dinner, with the menu discussed when you request a quote.
History and setting
The decor is that of a Parisian bistro, furnished with second-hand pieces and objects collected over time. The neighborhood is the western edge of the 17th arrondissement, between Porte Maillot and Pereire, an area with many offices and hotels. The website gives no founding date or building history.
Getting there
The nearest metro stations are Porte Maillot and Argentine, both on line 1, and RER station Pereire-Maillot is also close. Bus 73 serves the area, and a bike station stands at 26 rue Saint-Ferdinand. By car, the Indigo Porte Maillot car park is nearby, and a private car park is available 50 meters from the restaurant at 29 rue Brunel.
