Ready to experience Paris like never before? Imagine saying, “I dined at the Eiffel Tower!” It’s a dream many of us have, and luckily, it’s achievable. The Eiffel Tower offers two distinct dining experiences, each with its own allure.
58 Tour Eiffel: Casual Chic with a Panoramic View
For those who want a memorable experience without the hefty price tag, 58 Tour Eiffel is your perfect match. Located on the first level, this French brasserie-style buffet boasts a modern, stylish design, capturing the essence of Parisian chic. The two-level dining space offers breathtaking views of the Trocadero and the Seine River.
Don’t let the casual atmosphere fool you, 58 Tour Eiffel serves up gourmet quality cuisine with a contemporary French twist. You can enjoy a self-service lunch for €18 to €23 or opt for a table-service dinner starting at €67. Package deals are also available, often including Champagne and skipping the waitlist. I’ve even arranged for you to purchase discounted tickets for a Paris Orientation Tour, Lunch at the Eiffel Tower, and a Seine River Cruise. This combination is a fantastic way to experience the best of Paris.
Le Jules Verne: A Gastronomic Experience for Special Occasions
For the truly special occasion, Le Jules Verne takes dining to a whole new level. This exclusive restaurant sits 125 meters above ground on the second level, accessible only by private elevator. Reservations are highly coveted, with lunch bookings needing to be made three weeks in advance and dinner reservations three months ahead.
While this exclusivity may seem daunting, it creates a truly unique dining experience. Le Jules Verne is about celebrating the moment – the exquisite setting, the panoramic views, and the remarkable cuisine orchestrated by star Chef Alain Ducasse.
Be prepared to spend, as the average dinner bill starts well over €150. Lunch, however, offers a more affordable alternative with no reservation headaches. But if you’re asking about price, maybe this isn’t the place for you.
A Taste of the Top: The Champagne Bar & Eiffel Tower Snacks
Looking for a more casual experience with stunning views? The Champagne Bar located on the top floor is the perfect spot. Enjoy a glass of premium champagne and soak in the unparalleled panoramic view for just €10 to €20.
Eiffel Tower Restaurants also offer a variety of snacks and drinks, from hot to cold, for €10 or less. These options are available throughout the tower, making them perfect for a quick bite during your visit.
Planning Your Visit: Avoiding the Lines
Navigating the Eiffel Tower can be a challenge, especially during peak season. Expect long lines, sometimes stretching to 3-4 hours. Save yourself the wait and pre-book your Paris Orientation Tour, Lunch at the Eiffel Tower, and Cruise. You’ll enjoy a guaranteed spot, skip the lines, and experience the best of Paris without any stress. Trust me, you’ll thank me later!
