For drinks, a birthday, an evening with colleagues or a private event, the Simplon offers a warm, laid-back setting where you feel at ease straight away.
The private spaces
Café du Simplon adapts to every wish and every format. Several areas can be booked or semi-privatised depending on the number of people and the atmosphere you are after.
On the bar side, expect a lively, laid-back atmosphere, ideal for drinks, afterworks and parties. On the restaurant side, the long tables let you gather around a meal in a convivial setting. And as soon as the sunny days arrive, the large terrace becomes the perfect spot for groups, with high tables, standing drinks or buffets.
