Get ready to experience the iconic Eiffel Tower in a whole new way! Beginning in 2019, the Tower is undergoing a major transformation, not just in its structure, but also in its culinary offerings. This exciting revamp will introduce a range of delicious experiences, from Michelin-starred dining to casual Parisian delights, ensuring a tasty adventure for everyone who visits.
A Gastronomic Journey Awaits
The Eiffel Tower is committed to providing its over 6 million annual visitors with an unforgettable experience. Following the successful renovation of its grounds and gardens in 2018, the Tower is taking its culinary game to the next level, showcasing the best of Parisian and French gastronomy.
Elevated Dining: The New Jules Verne
Get ready for a truly culinary adventure at the legendary Jules Verne restaurant! This Michelin-starred gem, located on the second floor of the Tower, will reopen its doors in the summer of 2019 under the guidance of renowned chef Frédéric Anton. Chef Anton, a three-star chef and Meilleur Ouvrier de France winner, is bringing his exceptional culinary expertise to the Jules Verne, aiming to transform it into a must-visit gastronomic destination in Paris.
The journey begins even before you reach the restaurant. A refurbished entrance and a private elevator will transport you to a world of culinary excellence. Inside, you’ll be greeted by a stunning new interior designed by architect Aline Asmar d’Amman. The new Jules Verne offers a menu that reimagines classic French cuisine and introduces exciting new concepts, such as breakfast service, private lounge experiences, and even the opportunity to dine in the kitchen.
Parisian Bistro Charm: The Brasserie
Down on the first floor, the Brasserie, previously known as 58 Tour Eiffel, is also undergoing a dramatic transformation under the direction of two-Michelin-starred chef Thierry Marx. Before undergoing a major renovation from September 2019 to February 2020, the Brasserie will delight visitors with new menus created by Chef Marx, starting March 13th.
The reimagined Brasserie, designed by architect Ramy Fischler and the Encore Heureux collective, will boast a modern and inviting atmosphere, with open spaces showcasing the Tower’s iconic structure. Chef Marx’s vision is to create a “universal” dining experience with a Parisian bistro flair, emphasizing simple, fresh ingredients. He is also committed to creating a sustainable and socially responsible restaurant, using locally sourced products and reducing waste.
Delicious Delights: Take Away and More
From the foot of the Tower to its peak, the Eiffel Tower is ensuring a tasty journey for every visitor.
Starting in April 2019, a variety of food and drink options will be available across the different levels of the Tower. On the Esplanade, you can enjoy delicious Eiffel Tower cones and grab-and-go snacks from food tricycles.
Looking for something more substantial? The Eiffel Tower Bistro on the first floor will offer take-away sandwiches created by Thierry Marx and sit-down dining in the evenings featuring local specialties.
The second floor will feature “Comptoir” stands, offering a tempting selection of take-away mini sandwiches, pastries, and artisan macarons.
And at the top of the Tower, the Champagne Bar will be expanded, providing a unique and unforgettable experience with champagne and caviar against a breathtaking backdrop of the Parisian skyline.
A Collaboration for Culinary Excellence
The Eiffel Tower’s culinary transformation is the result of a collaboration between Sodexo, renowned chefs Frédéric Anton and Thierry Marx, and Ubudu, a specialist in visitor flow management. The Guilde des artisans, a network of local Parisian food artisans committed to sustainable practices, will also be contributing to the Tower’s offerings, ensuring the highest quality ingredients and a commitment to local sourcing.
This exciting new chapter for the Eiffel Tower’s culinary scene is poised to revolutionize the way visitors experience the iconic landmark, offering a delicious and unforgettable journey for every palate.
