Had a very nice guide who told us all the interesting facts about the Eiffel Tower. I was there with my daughter and it was her first time in Paris so I booked it. She was so happy and asked our guide lots of questions while taking notes so she wouldn't forget it all. The fact that I was able to share the beautiful experience with my daughter made the visit unforgettable!

I can't fault the experience. The host Jeremy was in contact the whole time, was approachable , very interesting to listen to and kept the mood fun/energetic. He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the Eiffle Tower and even my 7 year old was able to recall the information he gave us a few days after. Thankyou for a super experience. I would definitely book again !

The children, Alexandre and Benjamin, loved her approach, and we adults, Armelle, Fatima and Louis, were won over by her explanations. So, if you're looking for a great climb and good explanations, there's only one name to remember: Ruth. Some explanations in French, English and a few words in Portuguese 😁. Thank you Ruth and good luck for the rest of your journey 🙏

This wonderful combo was an unforgettable experience. Louise was a great guide to the Eiffel Tower. I highly recommend it because the combo also includes a Seine River cruise. It was a truly positive experience ❤️

Though it was a bit overcast that day, the tour guy was very good at getting us through security and to the lift, and shared interesting facts about the Eiffel.

Top things to do in Paris

Virginia Woolf said it a hundred years back, but we’ll say it again– “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well,” and honestly, where’s the lie? You can’t even travel well with those hunger pangs! Now that you’re planning a trip to one of the most iconic places in the world, the spectacular Eiffel Tower, it’s only fair that you add good food to your itinerary to please the tummy gods! So grab your notepad or notes app, and start jotting down as we (intentionally) spill the tea on the best dining options at the Eiffel Tower.

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.
