Magdalena is a brasserie at 16 place de la Madeleine in Paris that hires out five spaces for business lunches, cocktails, dinners, birthdays and weddings, from a chef's table for 20 to the whole restaurant for up to 200 guests. A dedicated sales contact handles quotes and follows the event from the menu to the timing of the evening.
Seminars and company events
The privatization page lists company events, business lunches, cocktails and dinners among the formats. A brochure can be downloaded from the page, and a dedicated sales contact is named as the single point of contact for the quote. This contact advises on options and follows the preparation until the day itself. The site describes no plenary room, projection or day-delegate offer, so the venue fits business meals, client dinners, team celebrations and cocktail receptions better than a working seminar.
For a small leadership dinner, the Table du chef takes up to 20 people and the Salon Magdalena up to 50. A larger company evening can use the Espace Madeleine for up to 35 guests or the whole restaurant for up to 200.
Weddings and receptions
Marriage appears as one of four event types on the privatization page, next to birthdays, company events and meals between friends. The text speaks of a made-to-measure service and of attention to each detail, from the menu to the pacing of the evening, and the same dedicated team and menu options apply. The Salon Magdalena (50 guests) and the whole restaurant (200 guests) are the two spaces that suit a larger reception. The site gives no ceremony or accommodation details, so those points are raised in the quote request.
Rooms and capacities
The restaurant lists five spaces, each with a stated maximum. The Espace Madeleine holds up to 35 guests. The Espace Boudoir holds up to 25 and is presented as the quiet, discreet option, with a subdued atmosphere. The Salon Magdalena holds up to 50. The Table du chef holds up to 20. The whole establishment holds up to 200 guests.
The main restaurant room is described as a bright setting for larger groups, while the Table du chef and the Salon Magdalena are the more exclusive and personal settings.
Catering
Catering is in-house. The chef offers three selected menus and cocktail buffets for events, and the team can add live music, decoration and other made-to-measure services. On the regular menu, the kitchen serves French brasserie dishes such as foie gras with Cognac, beef Rossini, rack of lamb, sole meunière and beef bourguignon, with lobster and caviar among the premium products. After dark, a white marble bar serves cocktails.
History and setting
Behind a terrace and crimson curtains at 16 place de la Madeleine, the restaurant presents itself as a modern, festive brasserie. Fine porcelain and copper pots set the table, and the doors open throughout the day. Opening hours are 10 a.m. to midnight from Sunday to Thursday and 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, which sets the frame for a daytime lunch or a late evening, subject to the terms agreed for a hire.
Getting there
Magdalena stands on the place de la Madeleine, in the 8th arrondissement, where the Madeleine métro station (lines 8, 12 and 14) serves the square.
