A brief history of dining at the Eiffel Tower

  • Origins at the 1889 World’s Fair:
    Dining at the Eiffel Tower began the same year it opened—1889, during the Exposition Universelle. The original structure featured several restaurants, including a French brasserie and a Russian eatery, designed to welcome international visitors from around the world.
  • The rise of fine dining: Le Jules Verne:
    In 1983, Le Jules Verne opened on the second floor, bringing elevated French cuisine to the landmark. It earned a Michelin star under the renowned Alain Ducasse, and in 2019, chef Frédéric Anton took over, continuing its tradition of refined dining with panoramic views of Paris.
  • A modern twist: Madame Brasserie:
    Formerly known as 58 Tour Eiffel, the restaurant on the first floor was rebranded in 2022 as Madame Brasserie, now headed by chef Thierry Marx. It embraces sustainability and features locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, offering a more casual yet contemporary dining experience.
  • Eiffel Tower dining today:
    Today, the Eiffel Tower offers a variety of culinary experiences—from breakfast with a view, to gourmet dinners, to champagne at the summit. Every meal served is a blend of Parisian flavor and historic charm, making dining here a timeless part of visiting the tower.
