Macéo can host business lunches, client dinners, after-work drinks, cocktail receptions and wedding meals for groups from 8 to 120 guests, in four spaces that can be booked one by one or together. The restaurant stands at 15 rue des Petits Champs, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, between the Louvre, the Palais Royal garden and the National Library.
Seminars and company events
Macéo has no plenary room or day-meeting package. It is an address for the meal or the reception around a business day. The Bibliothèque seats up to 11 guests and suits a board dinner, a client lunch or a confidential working meal. The Salon Bar, a lounge on the ground floor with tub armchairs, takes 8 to 20 guests and is offered for after-work gatherings and for lunches after a conference. For a larger company dinner, a product presentation over drinks or an end-of-year party, the first-floor Salle de Bal takes up to 70 guests, and the restaurant states that the whole house can receive up to 120.
The wine shop on the ground floor can become a pop-up bar or a tasting area. It works for a client wine tasting, an apéritif before a dinner upstairs or a book signing.
Weddings and receptions
The restaurant names weddings, banquets and cocktail parties as uses for the Salle de Bal. This first-floor room is decorated in the Napoleon III style and, according to the restaurant, is registered as a historic monument. A wedding dinner or reception for up to 70 guests can take place there, with drinks served first in the wine shop below. The Salle de Bal carries no room hire fee: it is booked against a minimum spend on food and drink, which depends on lunch or evening and on the season.
Rooms and capacities
La Bibliothèque is a raised, intimate corner of the ground floor with a view toward the colonnades of the Palais Royal, for up to 11 seated guests. Le Salon Bar is a casual lounge for 8 to 20 guests. La Salle de Bal, on the first floor, takes up to 70 guests for a seated meal or a cocktail. La Boutique, the wine shop, is the most recent space and can be set up as a bar, a tasting room or a cocktail area; its capacity is not published.
Across the four spaces, the restaurant gives a total of up to 120 guests. Virtual tours of the Salle de Bal and of the ground floor can be viewed on its website before a site visit.
Catering
The kitchen cooks seasonal market dishes with a Mediterranean influence, and group menus change through the year. Organizers can combine set menus with wine packages, and the full group brochure is sent on demand. The cellar lists more than 1,000 wines and works in step with Willi's Wine Bar, the older sister address nearby. Macéo is listed in the Lebey and Gault & Millau guides and in Wine Spectator's restaurant listings.
The restaurant opens for lunch and dinner from Monday to Friday and for dinner on Saturday. In the afternoon the kitchen serves only tapas. No Sunday opening is posted, so ask the team before planning a Sunday event.
History and setting
Macéo is run by a family and presents itself as a contemporary restaurant with a serious cellar. Its address places guests between three landmarks of central Paris: the Louvre, the Palais Royal garden and the renovated National Library. For a group staying in central hotels or working around the Opéra and the Bourse, everything is within reach on foot.
