Queued for tower tickets at 5 pm. Called ahead for reservations to the restaurant while in line and easily obtained a table for two for 6:30 pm. Sadly but expectedly, all window seats were taken. Tiger shrimp with avocado appetizer consisted of single large shrimp on a bed of avocado mouse (23e), and escargot appetizer consisted of four tiny escargot fritters (19e). The entrée portion of scallops featured, rather pitifully (in size, not in preparation), of four quarter sized scallops and a few greens (29e). My veal chop was the only hearty part of the meal: sizeable veal chop with macaroni and turnip/potato puree (34e). Overall, lovely restaurant with multilingual wait staff. Food is very pricey for portion--worthwhile near a window and much less so where I was sitting. read more

Came the morning off. Stood in line to see if anymore spots open for lunch. After waiting about 45min-1hr we were in LUCK! They had a spot avail in 30+ min. We waited it out in a gift shop and got inline to go up. Beautifully views. Got a windo seat (I asked for a window seat even thg hubby thgt I shouldn't be asking for that since to reservation) and what do you knw. We got a window seat. See hun. Closed mouths dnt get fed. JS LOL I'm not going to lie. The reviews were pretty mixed. So I had planned on going to eat after (lol) it was more about the actual experience for me especially since my hun just proposed to me days before in front of the Effie Tower. I had the duck, he had the fish. Mine was so flavorful, moist, and just delicious! My hubby's fish (was just okay to me) was delicious to him he esp loved how the skin was crisp. A lot of places it will get moisture in it and become bla. Very good read more

The food is phenomenal, the views are one of kind and the glamour of dining in the lady of iron (Eiffel Tower) is unforgettable. Tables are pretty tight packed, so hope that you sit near polite fellow diners. Unfortunately we got stuck sitting next to a fellow who wouldn't stop yelling at a laughing child nearby. However, the overall dining and service experience were spectacular. read more

I don't understand why this place has soo many negative reviews. The food, service and views are great! Yes it's a bit more than your average restaurant but it is completely worth it. I would definitely recommend it! It's a great experience. Plus you ticket to go up the tram is included and then you and take the stairs to the middle part of the tower. Keep in mind you need another ticket for the tram that takes you to the very top. It is not possible to walk to the very top. read more

This place is a wonderful way to enjoy a good meal on the Eiffel Tower. The Tower itself is very touristy, but lunch at 58 felt more intimate. I am no expert in French cuisine, but the food was delicious. The wait staff was a bit slow after taking requests (more water, asking if they could bring back the photographer). Luckily the view and experience was enough to not let it bother me. So we purchased the lunch basket pack and made sure to arrive early as it gets incredibly busy to check in. The benefit of coming early is that you will have a great chance of getting a window seat. read more

A great view from the ground can be had at Trocadero square. Many people enjoy packing a lunch and sitting on the lawn near the tower. Vendors sell ice cream, etc which I saw many people also enjoying. If you wish to tour the tower, which is divided into 3 levels, tickets can be purchased online or at the tower. Many city tours include the Eiffel Tower. There is a lift and also a stairs option (shorter line) from ground level. There are 328 stairs to the first level. At the first level you have views over the rooftops, cinema, museum, restaurant and bar. The 2nd level is another 340 stairs and has panoramic city views from an observation deck and the pricey, upscale Jules Verne restaurant. The third level can only be done by a lift. It has google map like views and a champagne bar (10 Euro white, 15 Euro red) per glass for you and your honey. The lights on the tower(20,000) sparkle every hour on the hour, not to be missed. There is also a post office on top so you can mail your postcards that say "With Love from Paris". If you are visiting in July or August reserve your lift time online or combine the Eiffel Tower with a Seine river cruise or Paris city tour and skip the enormous line. read more

58 Tour Eiffel - Eiffel Tower - French Near Me - Paris, 75

Wha de bloodclart!!!(Jamaican patios). I just had to get that off my chest.. Where do I start????!!!! Paying over £200 per person making a reservation for a specific time and waiting over two and a half to be seated is rediculious.!!!! First of all we had to line up for an hour and more to get a ticket we already had a reservation for as previously mentioned (in the cold if I may add). To then line up for another hour to get the lift to get into the restaurant. At this point I'm vex!! But thought hey this is Paris and the Eiffel Tower so the food must be good.... Not!!! The starters where basic as I had the salmon and my girlfriend had the duck patty which she said was bland. Main course I had the sea bass fillet with wasn't too bad but maybe that was because I waited to be seated a long time and was just hungry, and my girlfriend had the lamb which she said was good but then again she was very hungry as well. By the time the desert came we wasn't really bothered. If I could give minus stars I would!! Well over rated word of advice save your money and just do the Eiffel Tower tour. read more

When you visit this place you certainly expect the service to be impeccable and that for sure, it was. The main course (veg) was delicious. Our reservation was for the 6:30 pm slot. The fact that they make you leave when the second round of people have arrived (8:30ish) is a bit annoying. Barring that, had a good experience. read more

Save your time and money. Buy a ticket to top of the eiffel tour for photos and the view and then take your significant other to another nice restaurant if you are looking to celebrate something or have a romantic evening. There are plenty of Michelin starred restaurants in Paris. I couldn't get a reservation to the Le Jules Verne on the 2nd fl, but that might be another option if you MUST eat in the Eiffel. This place totally takes advantage of the location/environment. From the minute you are herded into the elevator, there is a long wait. They tell you to get there 30 min early, which is fine because you will spend at least 30 min taking photos on the floor. If you don't want to spend 30 min taking photos, you will be rudely asked to wait anyway. Once the clock strikes your dinner hour, you will be herded to your seat and the food will be delivered to you course by course. I was pregnant at the time and told me that there was just one dish on their menu (salmon tartare) that i could not eat and they got all flustered. The food all tasted like mass produced cafeteria food, just decorated better. There is no attention to detail as some of my food came "deconstructed." My husband was missing a tomato in his dish - that might sound obnoxious, but when all you get on your dish is 1 potato, 1 tomato, 2 scallops, and some foam then you notice! The view is without a doubt great, the environment is what you pay for. The food, however, leaves much to be desired. read more

I was booking this place for my mom's birthday lunch. I was charged 138 euros for two. First of all, you have to do the security check which is ok, then once you were in front of the entrance on the foot of the tower you still have to go to a kiosk to get the lift ticket. The wait for the lift were Miserable, you have special lines but still long. Got to the restaurant with mediocre interior design, seated right away. It supposed to be pre booked courses, appetizer, entree drinks and dessert I also paid extra for a slice of birthday cake. The menu were short and none of them were good, I ordered myself water and mom iced tea. The salad were terrible, the risotto has no flavor and once we are done with our entree, the server just literally ignored us, I was supposed to get desserts and coffee, no one came and asked. We had to waive and asked for coffee, they didn't offer the dessert that was supposed to be the price we were paying. And then they came with the slice of cake I ordered for her birthday, the cake were overpriced but it was good. Instead of coffee she wanted another iced tea, guess what it's €5 extra.,,, we didn't get dessert and you can't exchange coffee with iced tea. No service, overall it's not a good experience and not a lot of view because you're situated on the first floor of the tower not much to look at. I'm not going back nor recommend this place, you can just walk in without reservation anyway nothing special about this overpriced place. read more

Great experience overall and food was decent. Had the carrot soup and smoked salmon as starters. Soup was delicious. The trout needed to be served warmer and the skin was not very crispy. Duck confit was a tad dry but still very flavourful. The pistachio custard was better than the chocolate mousse however both are good. Service was excellent. read more

The food was good but the service was sub par. Our lunch was part of a packaged deal, some tour we booked that took us around Paris. Upon arriving, we were seated in a beautiful window seat overlooking the entire city. Water was free but I also got a Sprite. We had a limited menu, three choices in each section, an starter, an entree and a dessert. I started with the mushroom soup which was served in a little cup, almost tea like. It was more like a broth with a few mushrooms scattered about but it was delicious. Next, the chicken didn't look appeasing but it had a crispy skin and seemed more like duck to me, the Lima beans were excellent and the mash potatoes were left on my plate. Dessert was the smoothest of chocolate mousse, it was superb and lite. The waiter was a bit uptight, seemed bothered, I don't know if it was because we were in a tour group, or he was just having a bad day but he seemed over extended. read more

We were lucky to get a window seat. It was definitely fun to eat on the Eiffel Tower and get the opportunity to go to the 2nd level, but you are, of course, paying a high price for just the memento. The food was decent but nothing to rave about. We ate the lunch which had a soup/salad, main course, dessert and drink of choice plus coffee or tea after. It was rather stuffy and warm, but it was fun to eat there with the view. The dinners are about 99 Euro and the lunch was about half. We reserved well in advance and got there early. Be prepared to have enough time to go through security. read more

58 Tour Eiffel - Great view, if you get a window seat. - French Near Me - Paris, 75

This place was an absolute waste of money. I was so excited to come to Paris and eat lunch in the Eiffel Tower. To begin, we weren't even seated by a window which is the whole point of eating lunch here- for the view. Our waiter was a huge grouch the whole time. I don't think he even smiled once or asked us how we enjoyed it. The food was very unappetizing and could have gotten something much better from a food truck. The waiter did not even help translate any of the descriptions of the food and told us it already says what it is even though it was very vague. The pineapple juice came straight from the can and the soda was flat. DO NOT get the pasta. It was bland and was cold. We had to ask for bread twice when it was supposed to come with our drinks. The whole experience was mediocre at best. The only thing that was ok was the dessert. Don't waste your time or money. read more

This place is disgusting. The food awful. There was even a clear fingerprint in our pate course. The waiter responded with "oh really?" and just took the plate away and served us the bland squid risotto. The tables are so crammed together and there is a tacky photographer using a flash camera constantly, trying to get you to buy photos. Very distracting. read more

This restaurant is terrible. Management needs to learn how to hire waiters who can speak and socialize. Our waiter had absolutely zero ability to communicate. "Lunch with a view" except the view is the inside of a shitty restaurant far away from the windows. Don't even get me started on the food. I'd rather eat canned dog food than anything from this low effort soup kitchen. Everything is served cold and it was all tasteless. Go do yourself a favor and save yourself some money for McDonalds afterwards-you'll want it. read more

The view was amazing. It is a little annoying that they try to up sell you on photos that they take there, but we bought them, so what can I say? All of the food and service was amazing, but the tables are too close together and all the table next to us did was complain. Like all night. Boo. Just FYI, this is on the lower platform of the tower. Jules Verne is at the higher platform and has it's own private lift. We had to wait in line to get in the lift. read more

Went with a group of 8, meal presentation is very nice, food was fine, bread was great - I wouldn't go back, not worth it for the price. Didn't like that the waiters didn't know who ordered what and would call out the dishes like an auction, for this price they should know where to deliver the meal. Seemed rushed to take our orders, had an interior view which was not great. Food was hot and decent, nothing exquisite. Go eat in a cafe and view the tower instead. read more

Our original lunch plan didn't pan out and we ended up hungry while at the Eiffel Tower. We stopped into 58 Tour Eiffel and were told it would be a short wait. We watched at least a dozen groups come in with reservations and then be seated immediately. Apparently reservations are the way to go. We ended up waiting about 15 minutes which probably isn't too bad. The food was pretty mediocre but the view was nice. It was food which was really all we cared about at that point since we were very hungry. 2 stars. read more

There are far too many good restaurants to eat here than to waste your time and money at 58 Tour Effiel. It felt like a tourist trap. The food was mediocre at best and it was over 100€ per person. Our chicken was equivalent to Tyson. Would not recommend to anyone. Spend the money on the tickets to go to the top of the tower rather than spending 4X the amount on this. read more

3 course meal with 2 glasses of wine, champagne and coffee. The main attraction here is the location. You check in at the 58 restaurant kiosk and then skip the line for the lift. The eiffel tower is truly breathtaking and it's a wonderful experience to enjoy a meal there too. 5 stars for the sights and views of the city. 3 stars for the food and drinks. The foie gras was average. The main course was decent and the chocolate dessert was ok. The wine selection was comparable to house wine (not the best). Despite the lackluster meal, I was loving every moment of being in the eiffel tower. The premium price is for the location, not the food. Service was good. read more

There are two factors to consider if you'd like to eat here: 1. If eating inside the Eiffel Tower is a life dream of yours. 2. If you don't mind a high price for a very touristy-high volume produced meal, though food quality was above average and considerably gourmet (the menu is short so that helps with quality). Decor and ambiance leaves a lot to be desired. It is not even slightly intimate or what you would expect for what you're paying. Structural elements of the tower are ignored instead of highlighted, and plastered wallpaper of aerial views and dark, stuffy decor take over the place. Service is friendly, but not personal. It's like eating in a Cheesecake Factory that serves a limited french 3 course menu. Don't be misled, it is not at the top of the Eiffel Tower, it's on the first floor, which is the equivalent of about 30 stories. Still a good view. All in all, though. it was a positive experience. My review comes from being misled to think it was a great restaurant. But I can say I had dinner in the Eiffel Tower! read more

I was in there a little over a week ago (Valentine's Day), while traveling alone, and I endured a rather unremarkable meal at lunch time. The quality of the food aside, let me tell you about my experience: It wasn't the long wait, mediocre food or bad service that bothered me here... it was that they have photographers walking through the restaurant taking pictures of couples with the view in the background (see photos below). This would be fine, except that the tables are so close together, that you must put up with a photographer's butt in your face for five to ten minutes as they direct that couple through fifty photographs before moving on to the next couple. "Now closer together." "Now you look at him." "Now kiss". And at times, they ask people to stand so that they can get into that place and take a better photo. Sure. Even that I could put up with... I'm from LA... paparazzi is normal. It was when the female photographer told a black couple that they were too dark and that she needed more light. She rushed them to the window, passing right by the table which caused a full glass of wine to pour all over me and my table. I quickly snatched up my iPhone to avoid damage, and the waiter rushed over and stared. I look up at him like "are you kidding me?" and ask "serviette? (napkins?)" and had to start snapping my fingers to alert him that I would prefer he grab me something to dry off with rather than just stare at me to watch it dry over time. "Beaucoup" I said. He brought me ONE napkin and an additional glass of wine. I say "more napkins. Please!!" He says perhaps I should go to the restroom to dry up. The restroom where they have one of those dyson hand dryers where you slip your hands down into it. How do I get my jeans and sweater into that without getting naked in their bathroom? I go back out to my table, still soaking... and I eat my food under the eyes of the rest of the customers all pitying me and making me really feel alone on Valentines Day. Sure... it was an accident... they apologized... but then they brought me the bill. This is not how you run a restaurant. If your employees prompt one customer to spill something on another customer, you comp them. You don't give them a terrible afternoon and then make them pay US$50 for the misery. Never go here. Just take the elevator down and go find another place. You'll be happy you did. read more

Obviously you are sitting on the second floor of the Eiffel tower so the views are spectacular and the staff was very warm and welcoming. The food seems to be mass produced and is somewhat served "cruise ship style" in that it is brought out on plates with steam covers on top. My GF ordered the 3 course meal that included a butternut squash soup that was delicious. The main course was a cereal crusted chicken with mashed potatoes that was decent at best and again, had a pre-cooked feel and taste to it. I'm a simple man and ordered a burger thinking you can't go bad. I was pleasantly surprised as I did not set my expectations high on the burger but it was actually pretty good. The fries were very fresh and you can tell they were fried in a light oil, they were very good. We both enjoyed a glass of rose champagne which was delicious but also pricey at 15 euros per glass. All in all it is an experience that is definitely worth it. I can't see visiting the Eiffel Tour and not at least stopping in there for a drink and a glance at the gorgeous views! Service was very, very good and they actually welcome you to stay a while and enjoy yourself rather than rushing you out! read more

Like many others, we attempted to go to Jules Verne but they were booked. However, in the end I am glad we ended up here. The restaurant is well worth the price, and is much less expensive than its second level counterpart. When you make a reservation, you get to pick from a lot of options, so pick yours wisely. We chose the 9pm slot, with no view guarantee, for a three course meal (which we got to choose from different options) with wine, for 99 euros per person. First, unless you are really picky or have some money to burn, I wouldn't pay the extra for a special guarantee of your view. The windows are vast and even from our inner seating, we could appreciate that we were actually in the Eiffel tower. Additionally, you can explore the first level of the tower before or after dinner on your own, so it is not like you won't get to see the views eventually anyways. Next, the food. We had quite a good meal. While it wasn't the best we had while in Paris, it still met our high standards. I started off with a chestnut soup with ricotta raviolis that was the highlight of my meal. It was creamy, rich, and delicious. I had a fish dish for my main meal which was also amazing and had the most delicious citrus sauce. For dessert I had the profiteroles... because it's Paris. This was amazing and was accompanied by a chocolate sauce that was poured at the table. My husband had a prawn appetizer, steak meal (with some of the best mashed potatoes I have ever had) and some sort of chocolate mousse for dessert. The wine kept flowing throughout the meal, and overall we were very happy. Service was great, and our waiter spoke just enough English that we were able to order but not enough that we didn't need to practice our French. He was extremely helpful and very attentive. There is a photographer that comes around to the table to take lots of awkward photos (seriously, imagine 1980s glamour shots). While we thought it was hilarious and would never buy these overpriced shots, lots of people around us were, so clearly it is something that works for them! Getting up to the restaurant was interesting. We waited in line at a booth, then waited in line at security (not the restaurants fault) and then took the elevator up. I didn't mind this because compared to the never ending line to just go up to the tower, this was a breeze. However, when the elevator full of people all went to the restaurant, it was like this big herd rushing towards the door. I didn't really like that feeling. However, they were efficient at checking people in and getting them to their table. I think I would have preferred a more stagger approach. Nonetheless, it is totally worth it for not only the food but also to get to skip the normal line up the elevator in the tower. Go ahead and spend the money, get to skip the lines, and enjoy the food and view. read more

This was a special 25th Wedding Anniversary celebration. It was more expensive than our usual dinners out but for a special occasion it was wort it. We had a set menu and every course was delicious with an exciting pairing of flavors and textures. The champagne and wine augmented the various dishes. My favorite was the salmon tartare with dill. My husband liked the lamb with potatoes and my daughter enjoyed the duck (foie gras). Eating at the Eiffel Tower was a once in a lifetime experience. The waiters were efficient and very friendly. The food was amazing. Overall an memorable evening. Due to security you should plan to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your seating time. read more

Nice atmosphere, food was OK. We were seated at 9 o'clock sharp. It seemed as though everyone had a 9 o'clock RSVP. We were given a menu to select appetizer main course and dessert the price was around $200 and included champagne and two glasses of wine. Overall the food was just OK. couldn't really see out of the window where we were sitting. I'm sure other tables had a better view than we did. Met some really nice people sitting next to us. Over all the experience was great. But I felt like we never really got to see a very good view from our point of view. read more

Came here for lunch with my soon to be fiance at the time, and love it! I got the trufle pasta which was scrumptious. The problem was that I was only on about 3 hours of sleep so I was nauseous and couldnt eat my full meal. The waiter we had was super nice. We had a beautiful seat with a view and the waiter took an amazing picture of us. Keep in mind that a camera phone wont have a strong enough to flash to get a good pic so bring a real camera. I wouldnt need to come back here because it's pretty expensive but I probably would because I want another crack at that pasta! read more

if i could give this place no stars i would! my family had a reservation 2 months in advance and even had an email confirmation. day of our reservation we show up early and check in, to find out it was cancelled. why would we cancel on our end if we had waited 2 months, let alone show up early. this establishment has no professionalism for reservations nor do they have any class to help us with their mistake. i would have loved to spend my last night in paris in what's supposed to be one of the best restaurant experiences in the country, BUT the ignorance and lack of communication in this organization is very unacceptable. read more

Unbelievable experience! We selected the "Premium" menu which was a six course tasting. The meal was unreal! The service was stellar and the wine kept flowing. I'm thrilled we chose the 9:00 seating, we had beautiful sunny views, a spectacular sunset and then got to see the city at night. It was also very nice that they have "photographers" taking pictures of you. When booking, we did not paid extra for the table with a view, but were seated there anyway, knowing now how great the view was, I would have paid extra for the guarantee of that seat. If/when we come back to Paris, we will eat in the tower again! read more

My husband and I had a fairly disappointing experience here. We came here on Valentine's Day, to celebrate our second wedding anniversary in Paris at the Eiffel Tower. Dream come true, right? I purchased tickets and dinner ahead of time as part of their Valentine's Day package. It was 300 Euro, so a steep ticket. I had looked at the restaurant online and at the time (about 6 months ago) it had great reviews. So I went ahead and booked it. I was envisioning a very romantic place with table linens, soft ambiance and nice music. Not what we got. The tables were very basic, like a cheap restaurant, with no linens and they were so close together that I could barely get in between the tables, and I am not an overweight person. There were children at the dinner. I'm sorry, but selling something as a romantic dinner with high chairs and screaming kids does not work for me. They had a photographer going around the tables to take photos, which was a nice touch although we did not like any of our photos. The food was not great. My scallops had a nice taste, but were cold and I could not finish them. The dessert was a very sugary thing of frosting and cookie, which we could not finish either. They gave you a class of champagne, which always goes down easy, and a rose at each table. I spent way too much to get way too little. We will do Jules Verne next time. read more

My bf and I were so excited to come to this restaurant for lunch. Nice looking restaurant but pretty disappointed in the quality of food. House red wine that comes with it was not good. The food also gets brought out to you in a picnic style. The views of Paris were breathtaking. However, we were sitting in a table next to the table by the window seat. We wanted a window seat, but of course they were all taken. They also have a photographer coming by to take your pics and they try to sell to you afterwards. For what we paid for, def was not worth it!!!! read more
