Ever dreamed of having dinner on the Eiffel Tower? It’s a bucket list experience that many travelers seek out. But with its iconic status and massive tourist crowds, it can be difficult to know if the food will live up to the hype.
Let’s start with the good news: We were pleasantly surprised by the 58 Tour Eiffel restaurant. Our evening was filled with delicious food, beautiful views, and a touch of Parisian charm.
A Touch of Luxury
After navigating past the massive lines for the lift, we were fortunate enough to join the small group of people dining at the restaurant. Stepping inside, we were instantly immersed in the spectacular view of Paris. The iconic wrought iron structure, towering above us, created a sense of excitement as we made our way to our table.
A Dining Experience to Remember
We were seated at a table with a prime view of the Trocadéro, surrounded by other diners who were also enjoying the experience. The minimalist décor allowed the views to shine, and the soft lighting created a romantic atmosphere.
The menu offered three pre-booked options, with prices ranging from $118 to $165. While it may sound pricey, we felt the price was justified considering the quality of the food and the unique setting.
Beyond Expectations
We started with a welcome glass of Champagne, followed by flavorful king prawns served on a bed of avocado, grapefruit, and edible flowers. This was followed by a classic French dish: roast guinea fowl breast with mashed potatoes, green asparagus, and mushroom cream. Both dishes exceeded our expectations, and the service was friendly and attentive.
The atmosphere was lively and bustling, but the restaurant’s military precision ensured that everyone received a smooth and efficient dining experience.
A Parisian Dream
As we enjoyed our rich chocolate marquise dessert and another glass of wine, we were captivated by the spectacular views of the city. The perfect ending to our Parisian evening was a trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower.
Overall, our dining experience at the 58 Tour Eiffel was a delightful one. The food was excellent, the service was exceptional, and the views were breathtaking. It’s no wonder that this iconic restaurant is a must-visit for many travelers.
Here’s a quick summary of our thoughts:
- Location: 10/10 – It’s hard to beat the location atop the Eiffel Tower.
- Style/Character: 6/10 – The food and view make up for the simple décor.
- Atmosphere: 8/10 – A lively and romantic ambiance.
