Step into the Upper Room, a space where refined elegance and a rich history come together to create an unforgettable setting for your corporate dinners or meetings. Once an English seamen's church known as The Mission to Seamen, the Upper Room has been transformed into a magnificent venue that can be reserved exclusively for private occasions from Monday to Friday.
Seating up to 48 guests at table, or 90 for a standing reception, the Upper Room offers a cosmopolitan atmosphere with a respectful nod to the history of this place. Traces of the altar have been beautifully integrated into a stylish wine cabinet, where our selection of white wines and champagnes waits quietly to accompany your event.
The Upper Room has a bar, ideal for an aperitif or for lingering once your event is over. The interior has been designed to be serene and inspiring at the same time, suited to formal discussions as much as to relaxed networking. The team of Restaurant Marcel is ready to give you a seamless experience, with catering that meets the highest culinary standards. Our sommelier is also available to curate the wine selection that complements your menu.
The Upper Room offers not only a singular setting, but also first-class facilities and a dedicated team to make your corporate event a success. With its combination of historic character, modern amenities and outstanding service, the Upper Room at Restaurant Marcel is the venue you want for your next business dinner or meeting.
What it costs
All prices include VAT (2026).
Everything included, from € 126 per person. Champagne on arrival, a three-course set menu, the wines our sommelier pairs with each course, water and coffee. One figure, with nothing added afterwards. Four courses comes to € 156 per person, five courses with a selection of Comté to € 186.
How the menu works. You choose from three starters and three main courses — fish, meat or vegetarian. We ask for the choices in advance. With small groups they can sometimes be given on the day; with large groups they cannot. We do not serve vegan dishes, in the private rooms or in the dining room.
The menu alone. € 65 for three courses, € 80 for four courses, € 95 for five courses with a selection of Comté. The paired wines come on top — € 30, € 45 or € 60 per person depending on the number of courses. Water and coffee € 15, the champagne on arrival € 16. This menu exists only for groups in one of our private rooms; in the dining room we serve à la carte only.
Without alcohol. Guests who do not drink alcohol are served a full alternative with every course, at the same price.
The room. There is no minimum number of guests. For exclusive use of the Upper Room we ask a minimum spend of € 2 500. If that is not reached, we charge € 150 room hire.
If you want something else — more courses, a particular bottle from the cellar, a reception rather than a seated dinner — you will have a tailored proposal within one working day.
