Le Palacio hosts corporate receptions, group dinners, product launches, press days and fashion week events for 15 to 250 guests. The whole venue can be hired for up to 250 people standing or 120 seated at dinner, and a smaller boudoir takes 15 to 30 guests for a cocktail. Le Palacio is a Basque restaurant with dinner shows and a club, at 3 rue Taitbout in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, a short walk from the Opéra Garnier.
Seminars and company events
The venue sells professional events in the evening: company receptions, team dinners, client parties, product launches and press days. It is not a meeting room. It suits the evening of a seminar, an end-of-year party or a launch, when the group wants a dinner, a show and a dance floor in one place.
For a full hire, the house lists a range of formats: a cocktail dinner, live cooking stations, a dancing party, artistic performances and different music settings through the night. Extra sound, lighting and video, as well as performers, are quoted on request for each project.
Rooms and capacities
Le Palacio covers 400 square meters of usable space on two levels, set around an atrium with a ceiling height of 9 meters. The decor features Roman columns and giant palm trees.
For a full hire, the venue takes evening receptions from 80 to more than 250 guests, and up to 120 for a seated dinner.
For a partial hire, the boudoir opens onto the atrium. It suits a cocktail dinner for 15 to 30 guests who want a private space with their own access to the dance floor, through a private staircase.
Catering
Dinners, cocktail dinners, live cooking stations and tailored requests are prepared by the chef and his team in the house kitchens, with fresh, seasonal produce. The restaurant menu draws on the cooking of the French South-West and the Basque Country, mixed with recipes from other countries. Bartenders make classic and signature cocktails to order during the event.
Hosts, bartenders and head waiters, led by their managers, handle the welcome and service, so there is no outside caterer to coordinate.
History and setting
Le Palacio was designed as a festive theatre by the Paris architecture studio Louis Morgan. The concept tells the story of a traveler, adventurer for some and outlaw for others, whose journeys inspire the menu and the decor. In regular service, dinner comes with stage shows, and as the night goes on the restaurant turns into a club.
The restaurant is open Tuesday to Saturday from 7 pm to 2 am, and the club stays open until 5 am on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Private events are booked around this schedule with the team, who also offer a visit of the venue before booking.
Getting there
Le Palacio is at 3 rue Taitbout, 75009 Paris, between the Opéra Garnier and the Grands Boulevards. Several metro lines stop within walking distance, and the Gare Saint-Lazare is the nearest main-line station for groups arriving from Normandy. Guests coming from Charles de Gaulle or Orly airports can reach the Opéra area by RER and metro or by taxi.
