MC 93, Theater building and restaurant in Bobigny, France
MC 93 is a theater building and restaurant in Bobigny, north of Paris, with three performance halls and open spaces used for rehearsals or film shoots. The restaurant and bar are integrated into the building, offering food and drinks to visitors before or after shows.
MC 93 was built in the 1970s and early 1980s to bring cultural life to the people of Bobigny. In 2012, major renovation work improved accessibility for people with disabilities, updated safety systems, and modernized sound and heating throughout the building.
The MC 93 is known for its ties to local producers: the bar serves beers brewed in Seine-Saint-Denis and drinks made with ingredients from Pantin. The wine list features only organic wines, giving the place a clear regional identity that visitors can taste directly.
The restaurant opens around an hour and a half before weekday performances and an hour before weekend shows, with a lunch service on Mondays. Reservations by phone or email are a good idea on busy evenings.
The restaurant at MC 93 features a different vegetarian dish every day, and the building is regularly used for film and TV productions thanks to its open stages and backstage areas. This means a visitor might encounter a film crew on any given day.
