Private dining restaurant in Grasse: medieval evenings and private events
Taverne de l'Oratoire is a restaurant with a private dining room in the historic centre of Grasse. The main hall seats up to 50 guests, and the terrace adds 20 more. Whether you are planning a birthday for thirty or a wedding for seventy, the layout adapts: a long medieval banquet table, round tables, a U-shaped seminar setup or an open cocktail space. The entire venue is yours alone, with no other diners or shared tables.
Our monthly medieval evenings, held from October to March, have become a highlight for Middle Ages enthusiasts across the Grasse area. Sumptuous feasts, period music, shows and costumes create a unique immersive atmosphere. Guests travel from Cannes, Nice, Antibes, Mougins and across the Côte d'Azur to enjoy this extraordinary experience.
Our event catering service works with carefully selected food suppliers for authentic medieval feasts. We also provide medieval tableware rental — tankards, chalices, stoneware dishes, wrought iron cutlery — to transform your event into a genuine period banquet, whether at the Tavern or at a venue of your choice.

A private dining venue for every occasion in Grasse
Finding a restaurant with a private room in Grasse means celebrating on your own terms. At Taverne de l'Oratoire, the space is exclusively yours: no neighbouring tables, no background noise from other guests, no compromise on music volume or closing time. The stone walls of historic Grasse, the candlelight, the coats of arms and the heavy wooden furniture do the rest. The atmosphere is set the moment your guests walk through the door.
Private hire for birthdays makes up the majority of requests. Groups from Grasse, Cannes, Mougins, Nice and the surrounding towns book for milestone celebrations — thirty, forty, fifty and beyond. The medieval setting adds a festive dimension that conventional function rooms cannot match. Guests eat from stoneware dishes, drink mead or hypocras served in wrought iron tankards. The meal itself becomes part of the show.
For weddings and private receptions, the Tavern provides end-to-end support. The event caterer manages the meal with food suppliers selected for quality. Medieval tableware rental completes the setting: chalices, stoneware plates, period cutlery. Whether the table seats twenty close relatives or seventy guests, every detail stays consistent with the venue's atmosphere.
Companies from Sophia Antipolis, Valbonne and the Grasse tech hub use the Tavern's private dining room for seminars and team events. Medieval afterworks, team-building evenings, end-of-year dinners: the change of scenery takes colleagues out of their daily routine. Grasse is a fifteen-minute drive from Sophia Antipolis, making weekday trips straightforward. Private hire outside regular opening hours is also available on request.
