Get ready for a culinary adventure at the Eiffel Tower! In 2019, the iconic landmark will be undergoing a complete food makeover, bringing a delightful and unique experience to its millions of visitors. From Michelin-starred dining to tasty takeaway options, the Eiffel Tower will tantalize your taste buds on every floor.
A Delicious Transformation
The Eiffel Tower is constantly evolving to offer an unforgettable experience for its visitors. After the successful refurbishment of its grounds and gardens in 2018, the focus is on elevating the food scene to new heights. The new food offering, showcasing the finest of Parisian and French cuisine, will be a key element in providing visitors with an unparalleled experience.
A Culinary Journey Through the Eiffel Tower
The new food offerings are the result of a major collaboration with Umanis, a leading concessionaire, and two acclaimed Michelin-starred chefs, Frédéric Anton and Thierry Marx. This partnership promises a remarkable transformation in every aspect, from the reimagined architecture of the venues to the innovative culinary and commercial offerings. The new food concept also prioritizes environmental sustainability and social responsibility.
The Jules Verne: Paris’ New Culinary Destination
Prepare for an exceptional gastronomic experience at the Jules Verne restaurant, a must-visit culinary destination in Paris. Under the leadership of three-star chef Frédéric Anton, the Jules Verne will reopen its doors in the summer of 2019, offering a refined and timeless culinary journey.
The journey begins on the ground floor, with a refurbished entrance and a private elevator transporting you to the Jules Verne on the second floor. Here, you’ll be greeted by a stunning new interior designed by renowned architect Aline Asmar d’Amman. Chef Anton’s menu reimagines the classics of French cuisine, while also introducing exciting new options, including breakfast, private lounge dining, and even a chance to witness the magic of the kitchen.
The Brasserie: A Taste of Parisian Bistro Culture
On the first floor, the Brasserie, formerly known as 58 Tour Eiffel, is undergoing a transformation under the guidance of double-starred Chef Thierry Marx. Before undergoing extensive renovations from September 2019 to February 2020, the Brasserie will be offering new menus created by Chef Marx for dinner and lunch, starting on the evening of March 13th.
The future Brasserie, designed by Ramy Fischler and Nicola Delon, will feature a two-level architectural project that maximizes the space and offers stunning views of the city. Chef Marx’s vision for the Brasserie is to create a universal experience, offering classic Parisian bistro cuisine that celebrates simple, high-quality ingredients. The Brasserie will also embrace environmental sustainability and social responsibility, with a focus on locally sourced ingredients and minimal waste.
Take Away Delights on Every Floor
The Eiffel Tower’s commitment to providing a delicious and innovative experience extends beyond its restaurants. From the Esplanade to the top floor, visitors can enjoy a variety of tasty takeaway options.
Starting in April 2019, the Eiffel Tower will be introducing a range of food and beverage points throughout the monument. On the Esplanade, visitors can savor delicious Eiffel Tower cones (sweet and savory), seasonal snacks from food tricycles, and convenient “bee” delivery service for pancakes and waffles.
On the first floor, the old buffet will be transformed into a traditional Parisian bistro called the Eiffel Tower Bistro. Starting in December 2019, visitors can enjoy take-away sandwiches by Thierry Marx during the day, followed by a delicious sit-down dinner in the evening featuring local dishes.
The second floor will feature “Comptoir” stands offering an array of exclusive and colorful takeaway dishes, including mini sandwiches, pastries, and macarons from the Guilde des artisans, a network of Parisian and Ile-de-France food artisans.
At the very top, the Champagne Bar will be expanding this spring, offering champagne and French caviar for a truly unforgettable experience at 905 feet above the ground.
In conclusion, the Eiffel Tower is set to become a culinary destination in 2019, offering a diverse range of food experiences for every visitor. From Michelin-starred dining to delightful takeaway options, the Eiffel Tower will provide a delicious and unforgettable journey for all.
