Imagine yourself gazing out at the breathtaking panorama of Paris, the iconic cityscape spread out before you, as you savor delicious cuisine in a sophisticated and stylish setting. This is the experience that awaits you at Madame Brasserie, one of the Eiffel Tower’s two flagship restaurants.
Since 2019, the Eiffel Tower has undergone a culinary transformation, offering a wide array of dining options, from casual bites to elegant meals. Madame Brasserie, inaugurated in June 2022, embodies the Parisian spirit, bringing a touch of culinary finesse to the first floor of the iconic tower.
A Parisian Culinary Journey
Chef Thierry Marx, a renowned culinary master, brings his unique vision to Madame Brasserie, crafting a menu that celebrates seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant’s bright and chic atmosphere is further enhanced by the panoramic views, offering guests a choice of spectacular vistas: the cityscape, the Trocadero, or the Eiffel Tower’s own intricate structure.
Lunchtime at Madame Brasserie is a delightful Parisian experience. Choose from the classic Brasserie menu (€48 per person, not including drinks) or the more refined Madame menu (€69 per person, not including drinks). A children’s menu (€20) is available for younger diners (ages 4-11). Lunch is served at 12pm and 1:30pm, and reservations are highly recommended to secure your table. Your reservation includes a ticket to the first floor (€9.10 per person).
Romance and Exquisite Dining
