Yaya Secrétan hosts private dinners, company evenings, cocktail receptions and group celebrations for up to 200 seated guests or 350 standing, in a Greek restaurant on avenue Secrétan in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. The main hall, the upstairs mezzanine and the terrace can be hired together or separately, and group bookings start at 16 guests.
Seminars and company events
The restaurant is open to private events at any time of the day, which suits a team lunch, an after-work gathering or an evening party for staff. The official offer names company evenings among its formats, next to birthdays and parties with friends. The mood is festive rather than formal. Guests gather around a large sharing table, and the restaurant runs DJ sets and live music on its regular party nights, from Thursday to Saturday.
The site does not list meeting equipment such as screens or projectors, so this is not the place for a conference-style day. Plan it for team dinners, year-end parties, client receptions and cocktail evenings where food, drinks and atmosphere carry the event.
Weddings and receptions
The official page lists weddings alongside birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties and evenings with friends. A celebration here follows the restaurant's own style: a Greek meal served to share, music, and a lively room. Hosts who want a quieter reception should discuss the programme with the sales team before choosing the date.
Rooms and capacities
The main hall is a bright room of 220 square meters. A mezzanine on the upper floor can be privatized, and a terrace completes the space. The restaurant states these capacities for the whole venue:
- Total: 200 seated, 350 cocktail
- Inside: 100 seated, 200 cocktail
- Terrace: 100 seated, 150 cocktail
The total adds the inside and the terrace. The inside figure covers the hall and the mezzanine together, so ask the team how each part is laid out for your format.
Catering
The kitchen is Greek, with a menu signed by chef Juan Arbelaez and prepared by a brigade the restaurant describes as entirely Greek. Dishes are made for sharing, as in a village meal, and a separate festive menu exists for group evenings. The bar serves cocktails, and a happy hour runs until 8 pm on weekdays. Group formats are quoted on request: seated meal, reception or cocktail dinner.
History and setting
Yaya is the Greek word for grandmother, and the name points to the family table and shared dishes the restaurant wants to recall. The Secrétan address is one of three restaurants of the group in the Paris region and the north of France. It sits in the lively 19th arrondissement, in the north east of Paris, close to the Buttes-Chaumont and the Bassin de la Villette area.
Getting there
The restaurant is at 33 avenue Secrétan, 75019 Paris. The nearest métro stations are Bolivar on line 7bis, and Jaurès on lines 2 and 5. Regular opening hours are Monday to Saturday, from noon to 2 pm and from 7 pm to 2 am. Private events can be arranged outside these hours by agreement with the team.
