This exciting project is a key element in the Eiffel Tower’s commitment to providing visitors with an exceptional experience.
The new food offer, led by the concessionaire Umanis, features a collaboration with renowned chefs Frédéric Anton (3 Michelin stars) and Thierry Marx (2 Michelin stars). This partnership promises a remarkable culinary journey, marked by:
- Reimagined architecture: The dining spaces are undergoing a complete redesign, creating fresh and inviting atmospheres.
- Innovative cuisine: The food offerings are being re-imagined, with an emphasis on creativity and quality.
- Sustainable practices: The Eiffel Tower is prioritizing environmental and social responsibility throughout its food operations.
Jules Verne: A Parisian Culinary Icon
The Jules Verne restaurant, a true gem of French gastronomy, will reopen its doors in the summer of 2019 under the expert guidance of three-star chef Frédéric Anton. His vision is to transform the restaurant into a must-visit culinary destination in Paris.
Stepping into the Jules Verne, visitors will embark on an extraordinary culinary journey, beginning with a refurbished entrance and a private elevator ride to the second floor of the Eiffel Tower. The interior design, by talented architect Aline Asmar d’Amman, creates a stunning setting for the dining experience.
Frédéric Anton’s menu promises a reimagined take on classic French cuisine, alongside innovative options like breakfast, private lounge dining, and even exclusive chef’s table experiences.
The Brasserie: A Parisian Bistro Experience
The Brasserie, located on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower, will be revitalized under the leadership of double-starred chef Thierry Marx. Before undergoing a complete transformation from September 2019 to February 2020, the Brasserie will offer a taste of its new menu, created by Thierry Marx, starting March 13th.
Led by architect Ramy Fischler and Nicola Delon, the Brasserie’s redesign will create a vibrant and welcoming space. The two-level design will emphasize the stunning views of the city and showcase the Tower’s original architecture.
Thierry Marx envisions the Brasserie as a universally appealing destination, serving simple but exquisite Parisian bistro cuisine. The Brasserie will also be committed to sustainable and socially responsible practices, prioritizing local products and minimizing waste.
