Le Taillevent belongs to the small circle of Paris restaurants whose name alone signals the importance of an invitation. Its two salons are designed for business meals where discretion matters: a board of a dozen in the Salon Guimet, or a larger client dinner around a single table in the Salon Saturne.
Board lunches and dinners, client entertainment and small award dinners of 6 to 32 guests, with the chef’s table for a more personal experience of up to eight. The Salon Saturne can seat up to 20 around a single table, a format that encourages conversation.
For a private room with a literary history, compare Drouant; for several small salons of different sizes, Lapérouse. All the restaurants in our selection are compared in our guide to private dining rooms in Paris.
The Salon Guimet seats 6 to 12 guests and the Salon Saturne 12 to 32, with a single table for up to 20. The chef’s table welcomes up to eight.
