What is a restaurant?

For corporate events, restaurants can offer private dining spaces set apart from the main dining room, from intimate rooms for 8, 12 guests to full venue buyouts for 200+ attendees. These spaces often come with a separate entrance, dedicated service staff, and AV support for presentations or speeches. Most private dining restaurants include table service, a menu shaped around your budget and dietary needs, linens, glassware, and basic event coordination. Mid-range to premium venues often provide built-in sound systems, projection equipment, and flexible seating for seated dinners, standing receptions, or hybrid formats. Corporate clients use private dining for client entertainment, board dinners, team celebrations, product launches, and milestone events where good food and attentive service matter. This format works well for social hall restaurant event planning when conversation and relationship-building matter more than scale, usually for groups between 10 and 80 people.

How much does a restaurant cost?

For a private dining room seating 12, 20 guests, expect to pay €65, 120 per person for a multi-course meal with wine in major European cities. This usually includes a private room, personalised menus, table service, and a basic AV setup. Budget-conscious events may find options from €45 per head in secondary cities or at lunch, while premium Michelin-level experiences can reach €200, 350 per person. Mid-sized bookings for 30, 50 guests generally run €80, 150 per person, depending on the restaurant's positioning and menu complexity. Full venue buyouts for 80, 150 people often require minimum spends of €8,000, 25,000, influenced by the day of the week, season, and city. London, Paris, Munich, and Barcelona command higher pricing, while cities like Porto, Valencia, or Leipzig offer 20, 30% savings. Prices rise during peak corporate season (September, November, March, May) and with add-ons like premium wine pairings, longer events beyond three hours, or custom entertainment. Naboo gives you clear, itemised quotes from multiple venues so you can compare what is included and make informed decisions without hidden costs later.

Private dining typically costs €65, 150 per person for a multi-course meal with wine in major European cities, depending on the restaurant's positioning and menu complexity. Lunch bookings and secondary cities offer savings of 20, 35%, while Michelin-starred or full venue buyouts can reach €200, 350 per person. Pricing includes the private space, service, and meal but may exclude premium beverages or extended rental periods.

Standard private dining bookings include exclusive use of the private room for 3, 4 hours, a customised menu with multiple courses, table service, linens, glassware, and china. Most venues provide basic AV equipment like a screen and microphone, Wi-Fi, coat storage, and an event coordinator. Confirm what's included in your quote, as beverages, extended hours, custom decor, and entertainment are often priced separately.

Restaurants serve their own menus prepared by their kitchen team, so external catering isn't applicable. However, you can typically arrange extras like welcome drinks, canapés during a reception hour, upgraded wine pairings, custom desserts with branding, florals, entertainment, or photography. Naboo can coordinate these add-ons with the venue or separate suppliers and consolidate everything into one invoice.

Accessibility varies significantly, especially in historic European buildings where private dining rooms may be on upper floors without lift access. Always specify accessibility requirements when requesting proposals. Naboo flags accessibility features like step-free entry, accessible restrooms, and lift access in venue profiles, and our experts prioritise suitable options for your group's needs.

For groups of 20, 40 people, aim for 6, 8 weeks' lead time to secure your preferred restaurant and date, especially during peak corporate season (September, November, March, May). Intimate dinners for 8, 15 guests can sometimes be arranged with 2, 3 weeks' notice. Full venue buyouts or Fridays and Saturdays require 10, 12 weeks. Last-minute bookings are occasionally possible for off-peak periods or weekday lunches.
