Skipping the line at the start. The audio guides made the museum experience great. Seeing the Mona Lisa but moreover the large painting behind it depicting the wedding where Jesus performed his first miracle.

The person who was supposed to guide us was on time. She explained the history and present day of the Eiffel Tower very well. She was also very friendly. My son and I thank her for taking a photo of us on the Eiffel Tower.

Food, view, service, perfect! It says be there 30 mins ahead of time There is a long line to validate your ticket at the Madame Brasserie kiosk, long line at the elevator and long line to enter the restaurant! You are waiting atleast sn hour minimum! (Worst part of the experience)

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.
