Imagine savoring a delectable meal while overlooking the breathtaking cityscape of Paris, with the iconic Eiffel Tower as your backdrop. This dream can become reality at one of the two renowned restaurants perched high above the City of Lights.
While many may be tempted to choose these restaurants solely for their unique location, it’s important to know that these dining experiences are not just tourist traps offering mediocre food. Both restaurants offer gourmet quality cuisine, ensuring a truly memorable and delectable dining experience.
A Casual Yet Refined Experience: 58 Tour Eiffel
Nestled on the first level of the Eiffel Tower, 58 Tour Eiffel welcomes diners with a refined yet casual-chic ambiance. This French brasserie-style restaurant features two levels, each meticulously designed with a futuristic touch.
With exceptional views of the Trocadero and the Seine River, 58 Tour Eiffel offers a modern and contemporary French menu at prices that won’t break the bank.
- Lunch, which is self-service, ranges from €18 to €23.
- Dinner, served with table service, starts at €67 and goes up to €125.
For those looking for a more affordable option, 58 Tour Eiffel presents an excellent choice. Package deals, often including Champagne and bypassing the waitlist, are readily available.
Ready to explore Paris with a touch of gourmet indulgence? I’ve arranged for you to purchase discounted tickets for a Paris Orientation Tour + Lunch at the Eiffel Tower + Cruise on the Seine River. This package, a popular way to experience the city’s charm, combines sightseeing, dining, and a leisurely cruise, offering an unforgettable experience.
A Culinary Masterpiece: Le Jules Verne
For those seeking a truly extraordinary dining experience, Le Jules Verne is the epitome of Parisian elegance. Located 125 meters above ground on the second level and accessible only by a private elevator, this restaurant exudes an air of sophistication and exclusivity.
While securing a reservation at Le Jules Verne may require planning ahead, with lunch reservations booked three weeks in advance and dinner reservations three months in advance, it is well worth the effort.
Think of Le Jules Verne as the perfect setting for a truly special occasion. A romantic anniversary, a celebratory milestone, or a special date night, Le Jules Verne offers a memorable experience in a refined gastronomical setting.
Le Jules Verne is not just about the food, though the cuisine is undoubtedly exceptional. The true allure lies in the significance of the moment, the ambiance, and the breathtaking views. And with star Chef Alain Ducasse at the helm, rest assured that every culinary detail will be flawlessly executed.
Naturally, dining at Le Jules Verne comes with a certain price tag. The dinner menu typically averages over €150, while lunch offers a more affordable option. But for those seeking a truly unique and unforgettable experience, the cost is a small price to pay for a memory that will last a lifetime.
Beyond Gourmet Dining: The Eiffel Tower’s Champagne Bar
If you’re looking for a more relaxed and affordable alternative to the Eiffel Tower’s restaurants, the Champagne Bar located on the top floor is an excellent choice.
Enjoy panoramic views of the city while sipping on a glass of premium champagne for a mere €10 to €20.
Snacks and hot and cold drinks, priced at €10 or less, are also available throughout the Eiffel Tower, from the bottom to the third floor, offering convenient options for a quick bite during your visit.
Plan Your Eiffel Tower Visit Strategically
To avoid long lines, which can often stretch to 3-4 hours, plan your visit strategically.
Pre-booking your Paris Orientation Tour + Lunch at the Eiffel Tower + Cruise is the smartest way to skip the queues and ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.
