Imagine saying, “I dined at the Eiffel Tower restaurant.” What a way to impress! This iconic structure offers a unique dining experience, but is it worth the hype? Let’s find out!
The Parisian Brasserie: 58 Tour Eiffel
Located on the first level, 58 Tour Eiffel is a casual yet refined French brasserie with a futuristic twist. The stunning views of the Trocadero and the Seine River are a feast for the eyes.
This restaurant offers a modern French menu with prices that won’t break the bank.
- Lunch is a self-service buffet for around €18 to €23.
- Dinner offers table service and starts at €67 to €125.
For those on a budget, 58 Tour Eiffel is a fantastic choice. Package deals often include champagne and skip the wait list. You can even purchase a discounted package deal that combines a Paris orientation tour, lunch at the Eiffel Tower, and a Seine River cruise—a truly memorable Parisian experience!
A Culinary Masterpiece: Le Jules Verne
Le Jules Verne is the pinnacle of dining at the Eiffel Tower. Situated on the second level, accessible only by a private elevator, this restaurant offers a unique and exclusive culinary experience. However, it comes with a price: lunch reservations are required three weeks in advance, while dinner reservations are booked three months ahead.
But don’t be discouraged! Last-minute cancellations can happen, giving you a chance to experience this culinary masterpiece.
Le Jules Verne is not just about the food; it’s about the occasion. It’s a perfect setting for a special celebration, a romantic dinner, or an unforgettable Paris experience. Chef Alain Ducasse ensures that the culinary experience is top-notch, and the view from 125 meters above ground is breathtaking.
Be prepared for high prices. Dinner averages over €150, while lunch is a bit more affordable. “If you have to ask,” you might be better off with the less expensive options.
A Toast to the City of Lights
If you’re looking for a more casual experience, consider the Champagne Bar on the top floor. Unrivaled panoramic views and a glass of premium champagne create a regal atmosphere for only €10 to €20.
For a quick bite, the Eiffel Tower Restaurants offer snacks and hot and cold drinks for €10 or less, available on all three floors.
To avoid the dreaded lines (which can average 3-4 hours), pre-book your tickets for a seamless and enjoyable experience. Trust me, I learned this the hard way!
No matter your budget or your style, the Eiffel Tower restaurants offer a unique and memorable culinary journey. Whether you choose a casual lunch at 58 Tour Eiffel, a lavish dinner at Le Jules Verne, or a celebratory toast at the Champagne Bar, the views and the atmosphere are sure to make your Parisian experience truly unforgettable.
