Imagine this: You’re strolling past throngs of people waiting in long lines, feeling a sense of smug satisfaction as you bypass them all. You’re heading to a special place, a place steeped in history and romance – the Eiffel Tower. This isn’t just any visit, though. You’re going for dinner at the 58 Tour Eiffel restaurant, perched high above the City of Lights.
The Excitement Builds
The anticipation is palpable as you join the exclusive group heading up to the restaurant. Everyone is eager for a glimpse of Paris and tonight’s dining destination. The grand double doors swing open with a flourish, and you’re whisked away to your table, surrounded by the buzz of excited chatter. You can almost feel the magic in the air.
A Taste of Elegance
58 Tour Eiffel offers a variety of pre-booked dinner options, each with its own price tag. We opted for the mid-range choice, which gave us a priceless view of the Trocadéro. The restaurant itself is a mix of elegant brasserie and modern minimalism, with soft lighting that creates a cozy ambiance. And, of course, there’s the stunning panorama of Paris shimmering in the distance.
Beyond Expectations
As we settled in, our friendly waiter, with a smile that could rival the Eiffel Tower’s grandeur, presented us with a glass of champagne. The evening began with a delightful entrée of spiced king prawns, artfully arranged atop a vibrant bed of avocado, grapefruit, and sweet edible blooms. We were pleasantly surprised – this was not your typical tourist trap food.
The main courses, quintessentially French, were equally impressive. My husband savored his grilled lamb, while I enjoyed a perfectly cooked roast herbed guinea fowl breast, accompanied by creamy mashed potatoes, crisp green asparagus, and a rich mushroom sauce.
A Sweet Ending
With our bellies full and our hearts happy, we savored the rich chocolate marquise for dessert, all the while taking in the mesmerizing cityscape. We lingered, enjoying another glass of wine and the company of each other, before making our way to the top of the Eiffel Tower for a truly unforgettable end to our evening.
A Dining Experience to Remember
The 58 Tour Eiffel restaurant exceeded all our expectations. The food was delicious, the service impeccable, and the view unparalleled. This was truly a dining experience that we’ll cherish for a lifetime.
Here’s a quick breakdown of our experience:
- Location: 10/10 – Dining atop the Eiffel Tower is simply unbeatable.
- Style/Character: 6/10 – While the view is exquisite, the décor could be a bit more exciting.
