MONBLEU Le Comptoir can be privatized for company events and private parties of 20 to 60 guests, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris. The restaurant and wine bar at 12 rue Dupetit-Thouars is built around cheese, wine and cocktails, and the team offers either a full privatization or the hire of part of the space.
Seminars and company events
MONBLEU lists the events it hosts: company evenings, cocktails, group meals, the team's Christmas meal, a colleague's leaving party and press days for a client. Le Comptoir is the smallest of its Paris addresses available for these formats, with a cosy and intimate setting that suits a team dinner or a client reception better than a large gathering.
Three service styles are stated: a cocktail dînatoire, a festive aperitif or a seated dinner. The brand also sells activities that help a group mix. These include tastings, games and participatory workshops, among them a workshop on pairing cheese with wine, beer or spirits.
The official text does not describe a meeting room, a screen or a plenary space. The venue is a place for the evening, the press day or the celebration, not for a full working seminar.
Rooms and capacities
MONBLEU has three restaurants in Paris that can be privatized, each with its own capacity and mood. Le Comptoir, in the 3rd arrondissement, takes 20 to 60 guests. The two other addresses are Faubourg Montmartre in the 9th, for 20 to 100 guests, and Père Lacheese in the 11th, for 20 to 60 guests. A brochure on the site sets out the options for hiring the whole restaurant or only some of its spaces.
The site does not give separate room names or a split of seated and standing numbers for Le Comptoir. Ask the team which layout fits your guest list.
Catering
The food follows the house theme. The privatization offer lists large buffets of cheeses and regional products, raclette parties and other dishes to share. For drinks there is a selection of wines, sparkling wines and cocktails. The format is yours to choose: cocktail dînatoire, festive aperitif or seated dinner.
Groups that do not need the whole restaurant can reserve a large table with a special menu, from 10 guests. MONBLEU also runs a catering offer for events elsewhere, with cheese and charcuterie platters, raclette parties, savory and sweet additions, wines and drinks, from 10 guests.
History and setting
Le Comptoir is described as a cosy, intimate cocoon. It stands on rue Dupetit-Thouars, in the Haut-Marais, close to the Carreau du Temple. The official site gives no dates or architectural details for the building.
Getting there
The address is 12 rue Dupetit-Thouars, Paris 3e. The nearest métro station is Temple, on line 3, and République, with several lines, is a short walk away. Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est are both within reach by métro.
