Pagaille is a bistro in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, close to Montmartre, that can be hired entirely for up to 90 guests or in part for groups of 15 and more. The official page lists company meals, seminars, leaving parties, birthdays, family celebrations and weddings.
Seminars and company events
The restaurant states that it welcomes private and professional events, including company meals and seminars. A dedicated team organizes the event, and the venue says it answers requests within 24 hours. For a working day the space suits a half-day session followed by a meal, or a team dinner after hours. Groups of 15 and more can book a semi-private area without closing the whole restaurant, which makes it practical for a department dinner or a client lunch.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings appear in the list of events on the privatization page, next to birthdays, leaving parties and family celebrations. The venue mentions a festive atmosphere on request, a welcome cocktail option and a terrace that opens in good weather. Together these suit a civil wedding meal or a reception of up to 90 guests rather than a formal multi-day wedding.
Rooms and capacities
The restaurant has two floors. Full privatization takes up to 90 people. Semi-private hire starts at 15 people. In the basement, a chef's table faces the open kitchen and creates a convivial setting for group dinners. The terrace is available on fine days. The page gives no separate capacity for each floor, so ask for the split by floor when your guest list is between 40 and 90.
Accommodation
There are no bedrooms. Guests stay in hotels in Montmartre or elsewhere in Paris.
Catering
Catering is in-house. The venue offers custom group menus, welcome cocktails and a selection of natural wines. The everyday cuisine is seasonal and drawn from southern influences, with Provence, Liguria, Catalonia and the Alentejo named on the home page. Plates change over the weeks, so the group menu follows the season when you book.
History and setting
The restaurant describes itself as a sunny bistro anchored in the 18th arrondissement, a short distance from Montmartre. It opens seven days a week, for lunch and dinner. On Friday and Saturday evenings it turns festive from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m., which gives an idea of the energy the room can take on for a private party.
Getting there
The address is 46 rue Ramey, 75018 Paris. The official page names two metro stations on line 12: Jules Joffrin and Marcadet-Poissonniers. Both are a short walk from the restaurant, and line 12 connects the area with the center of Paris.
