Mes Souvenirs d'Espagne can be privatised for team meals, cocktails and celebrations for 20, 30 or up to 50 guests at 19 rue Étienne Marcel, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. The Spanish restaurant offers three formats: the upstairs room, the ground-floor café bar, or both floors together. The official page welcomes individuals, companies, associations and institutions.
Seminars and company events
Companies, associations and institutions are named among the clients of the privatisation offer. The restaurant is a fit for a team lunch, a client dinner, an end-of-project cocktail or a staff party. It does not describe meeting rooms or presentation equipment, so it works best as the social half of a seminar rather than as the working venue. The site shows the formats it hosts: an aperitif, a group meal, an evening party, a seated dinner in the room, a long shared table and a reception. A caterer service also appears in the website menu for events held elsewhere.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are not named on the privatisation page. It does speak of special celebrations and receptions, so a small family dinner, an anniversary or a post-ceremony meal can be put forward in a quote request. The ceiling of 50 guests applies to the whole restaurant.
Rooms and capacities
There are three privatisation options. The first is the room on the upper floor, which holds 30 places. The second is the ground floor with its café bar, which holds 20 places. The third is the whole restaurant, ground floor and upper floor together, which holds 50 places. All three are quoted individually. The restaurant is open Tuesday to Saturday for lunch and dinner and on Sunday for lunch, and it is closed on Monday, so a private event is best planned around these hours.
Catering
The kitchen follows a concept of traditional family cooking, built with fresh products and imported ones. The aim, as the restaurant describes it, is to bring back the flavors of Spanish home cooking that many people remember. For a privatisation the house proposes a meal, a cocktail or a celebration and answers each request with a personalized quote. The restaurant also runs a catering service and a click and collect service, which can be useful for an event that needs extra dishes.
History and setting
The restaurant stands on rue Étienne Marcel, close to rue Montorgueil, Châtelet-Les Halles, the Centre Pompidou and rue de Rivoli. The website is available in French, Spanish and English, which helps when guests or organizers are Spanish speakers. The site gives no opening date or building history.
Getting there
The address is 19 rue Étienne Marcel, 75001 Paris. The restaurant lists Châtelet-Les Halles and rue de Rivoli among its landmarks, and the Étienne Marcel métro stop on line 4 is a short walk away. Châtelet-Les Halles is the main RER and métro hub of central Paris, so guests coming from the airports or from the suburbs can reach the restaurant with a single connection.
