Can we bring a birthday cake?
Yes, and we encourage it. We keep the cake chilled from the moment you arrive, lend you knives and candles, and choose with you when to serve it, around the evening's program. No extra charge.
Les Folies d'Edmonde
Birthday in Nice
Celebrate your 30th, 40th or 50th in a vaulted cellar in Old Nice: a table for up to 20 or the private cellar up to 50, karaoke some nights, cake welcome.
Questions about birthdays
Reserved table or private hire: how to choose?
Up to 20 people, a table in the bar is enough: you book it online, at no charge, and everyone pays for what they order. Beyond that, or to have the place to yourselves, you move on to a private hire of the cellar or the whole venue, on a minimum spend, for up to 50 people.
Which day should I pick for my birthday?
Friday and Saturday are the liveliest nights: a full program and a crowd that turns out. Tuesday and Wednesday are quieter, if you'd rather celebrate among yourselves, away from the crowds. A karaoke night also suits a birthday very well: the dates are on the events calendar.
How much should we budget?
At Les Folies d'Edmonde, a reserved table carries no access fee: everyone pays for what they order (house creations €13–15, classics €13–14, mocktails €10). A private hire has no rental fee, only a minimum spend: for the cellar, €1,200 Tuesday to Thursday and Sunday, €1,500 Friday, Saturday and Monday; for the whole venue, €2,000. Quote within 24 hours.
Do you serve food?
We're a cocktail bar without a kitchen, but the neighboring restaurants (OKA Nice, Fish Bar 2.0, Etna Rosso) deliver to the cellar every day; you pay for the meal directly with the restaurant. With a private hire, you may also bring your own dishes, at no charge.
How do I book?
Up to 20 people, the online reservation form is all you need; booking at least 24 hours ahead is recommended. To book the cellar or the whole venue privately, use the private-hire form. We reply within 24 hours.
