We have advised Perceva on the sale of its stake in Groupe Bourdoncle, an independent restaurant group, to Weinberg Capital Partners.

Founded in 2017 by Thierry Bourdoncle, a recognised and established figure in the French restaurant industry, Groupe Bourdoncle's ambition is to provide a traditional high-end brasserie offering in iconic locations.

To achieve this objective and deploy his expertise in terms of opening such great locations on a large scale, Thierry Bourdoncle relied on the support of Perceva from 2017. Since then, Groupe Bourdoncle has made numerous acquisitions enabling it to reach a turnover of €50m through 16 restaurants in Paris, Deauville, and Megève, such as Le Hibou, Le Mabillon, Durand Dupont, Le Central, Le Drakkar, and more.

In four years, Groupe Bourdoncle has grown from one historic restaurant in Paris, Le Mabillon, to 16 establishments in Paris, Megève and Deauville and established itself as one of the leading players in the world of bistronomy, thanks to its passionate and talented teams. With a total turnover of over €50m and 400 employees, the group is one of the most promising operators in its sector. We are pleased to have helped Thierry Bourdoncle in the creation of this player, which has become a reference in its sector and is now on the verge of continuing its development through new acquisitions in the Paris and provincial regions.
FRANCK KELIF, MANAGING DIRECTOR, Perceva

Perceva has enabled us to finance the gradual constitution of the group, the structuring of its headquarters and its central functions, as well as the implementation of financial management and CSR policies, independently from social movements or from the health crisis that have affected our sector. We particularly appreciated the DNA of a capital-intensive partner concerned with providing financial resources to a long-term business project, which now allows us to calmly embark on a new phase in our development. I was convinced by Weinberg Capital Partners’ plan to join forces in order to successfully develop the group, including in Arcachon, Deauville and Puteaux in the short-term.
THIERRY BOURDONCLE, FOUNDER, GROUPE Bourdoncle

We were immediately attracted by the reputation and quality of the Bourdoncle Group’s establishments, combining quality gastronomy and conviviality in prime locations. We are happy to accompany Thierry Bourdoncle, a passionate and committed founder and manager, in the next phases of the Group’s development both in Paris and in the province.
