AMA can be hired for private events of 15 to 280 guests: up to 280 at a standing cocktail dinner and up to 200 at a seated dinner. It is a Mediterranean restaurant and bar of about 300 m² spread over two floors, at 49 rue du Faubourg du Temple, corner of rue Bichat, in the 10th arrondissement of Paris.
Seminars and company events
The team presents the place for product launches, brand dinners, corporate cocktails and evenings during Paris Fashion Week. Fashion and eyewear houses are named on the official site among past clients. The format suits an organiser who wants an evening event with food and drinks rather than a daytime meeting room: there is no plenary room or screen equipment described on the site, so presentations should be checked with the team in advance.
Private hire is possible from 15 guests. Lunches are served only when the whole place is privatised, which makes a weekday lunch event possible for a company that books the venue exclusively. The restaurant is air conditioned in summer and heated in winter.
Weddings and receptions
The official text also lists wedding anniversaries, engagement parties and weddings among the events it hosts. A reception of 200 seated guests fits on the two floors, and a cocktail format reaches 280. A long oval table set with candles is used for groups, and a lounge corner with a dimmed banquette gives a place for a smaller family table.
Rooms and capacities
The space is organised around a central nave with a ceiling height of 6 m. A mezzanine seats 60 and can be hired on its own, which suits a board dinner, a client dinner or a team celebration. On the ground floor the official photos show a bar and room under stone arches, a large plant-filled room under a glass roof, a back room with a brick alcove and a lounge area. The site does not give a separate capacity for each of these areas, so the figures that apply are the global ones: 280 cocktail, 200 seated dinner and 60 on the mezzanine.
Catering
Catering is handled in house. The kitchen is Mediterranean and built around dishes to share: mezze, ceviche and seasonal plates. The bar prepares signature cocktails, and the wine list is described as favoring producers working with responsible farming, about nine bottles in ten, with non-alcoholic wines for guests who do not drink alcohol. The menu for a private event is built with the team around the number of guests and the format.
Getting there
The nearest metro stations are Goncourt (line 11) and République (lines 3, 8 and 9). Bus lines 75, 46 and 20 serve the area. Car parks are listed at Saint Louis and République. The neighborhood sits between Canal Saint-Martin and Place de la République, a short walk from both.
