The French are kind of possessive over their cultural icons... go figure. 2) You are paying for the menu, but more importantly the proximity to the window. The more you pay up front, the closer to the window you are. 3) This isn't Jules Verne. It's the family friendly consolation prize. However, the service is kind, attentive and speak English. The food is better than most meals in touristy locations in America. You're going for the experience of eating in the Eiffel Tower. Just enjoy the ride, they'll be memories your family will enjoy forever.

We have a food allergy in our group (shellfish) which I noted in advance, and they only had 1 food option per serving for her. If the menu is pre set for the most part, it would be easy for them to recognize this in advance as we wouldn't have booked! Overall didn't think the food was fantastic, dessert was the best part, but ultimately you are paying for the location inside the Eiffel Tower. It's clean, it's a beautiful view, it's warm & tons of natural light. Another issue I took is that they take photos for you! (Love) the they PRINT them out to bring them to you and ask if you want to buy them. We didn't, so they take the photos and throw them away. Seems extremely wasteful and unnecessary!

I initially wanted to have dinner at restaurant "54 Tour Eiffel" located on the first floor in the Eiffel Tower but it was booked for the next 3 months. On the way back from the Eiffel Tower & museums, we passed by the lovely marina which was offering lunch & dinner cruises. It was too late to have lunch so we chose the dinner option. It was a perfect way to spend a birthday. The food was delicious, the champagne was lovely, the price was reasonable, and the views were just spectacular... I had THEE best day in Paris, France!

For $80 U.S. per person we had a nice 3 course dinner with a sampler plate of four apps an entree my wife had the salmon and enjoyed it. I got the chicken but found it a little bland. For dessert they had a three sampler plate. My wife is allergic to almonds and when I requested the almonds covered biscuits not be on the plate the waiter no longer spoke English. We also told them on reservation it was our 25th wedding anniversary and nothing extra was presented that night. There was 3 birthdays celebrated. A little extra effort would have gotten the fourth star. Dinner also included a glass of champagne and wine for each of us. We also added a nice bottle of white wine for $28 euro. View of Paris at night made it all worth it : )

We had a marvelous time at an outdoor table and tried fried escargot, shellfish linguinis, and soufflé. However, the real star (apologies for no photo) was the Duck confit parmentier (duck with potatoes). It was just divine and our friendly waiter, a gentleman with a mustache, made our night with his charm. The low point was my dessert selection of a "cheese plate". Even if you're a savory person like me, the result was pretty dispiriting with the 3 little pieces. My husband's soufflé was far lovelier and delicious.

Brasserie du Louvre, Paris, France -- April 9-13…read more Our family of four with kids ages 9 and 10 ate here each morning since it was connected to our hotel. We were looking for a reliable and easy breakfast option, and it consistently delivered. Arrival and First Impressions Being inside the hotel made this incredibly convenient, especially with kids. Each morning had a steady flow of guests, but it was well organized and easy to get seated. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, even during busy times. The Highlights The breakfast spread had everything you would want, including fresh croissants, pain au chocolat, scrambled eggs, cheeses, and meats. The croissants were consistently excellent, flaky and buttery, and constantly refreshed. My son became a bit of a legend one morning by eating 13 croissants, which says a lot about how good they were. The kids loved the French toast and eggs Benedict, while I usually went with scrambled eggs and porridge. The espresso drinks, especially the lattes, were also a daily highlight. The Challenges It could get crowded during peak hours, which sometimes meant a short wait for food orders, but turnover was quick and service was constant and nice. Final Thoughts We never tried lunch or dinner here since breakfast covered everything we needed, and it did so very well. The combination of quality and convenience made this an easy daily routine. If you are staying nearby, it is absolutely worth it for a dependable and enjoyable start to the day.

The dining room filled up fast. The crème brûlée was the best of our trip. Even better than Les Ombres. The prices are moderate for the level of quality. Chairs are comfortable and the tables are intimate while the space is still open with a good energy. Highly recommended.

Michelin Quality at Bistro Prices!…read more How this place does not have a Michelin star is beyond me. Five course fixed tasting menu plus an amouse bouche for 65 euros. We started with a carrot and blue lobster soup. Then langoustines, a foie gras dish, cod, medallion of pork tenderloin and desert. All outstanding. They offer a wine pairing with each course, but we went for a bottle of Champagne-- we are in Paris after all. And of course, since we were bursting at the seams -- freshly baked madeleines still warm from the oven. Service was impeccable. Reservations are a must. Once the foodie gliteratti discover this place the prices will jump and you won't be able to get in. GO NOW!

Everyone gets the same thing. This style of service helps cut cost (less food waste, less man power needed for the prep). If you are not picky, then the 5 courses for 59 euro is a fantastic deal. We started with a little amuse bouche of meaty carrot saffron soup with jamon and chicken foam. Then came the sweet perfectly seared scallops in a cream sauce with savory hen of the woods mushrooms. there were several scallops in there, so the courses were generously portioned. After scooping up every bit of cream sauce, next was the tender buttery foie gras, with a little diced mango on the side, so it had just a hint of sweet and sour. Fish dish followed and we received a nice filet of pollack. Pollack is a cheap fish, usually made into fish sticks and imitation crab meat in US, but fresh pollack treated the right way was delicious and just as tasty as cod or bass. Last savory dish was seared beef filet, neatly stacked potato pave, sunchoke, mushroom, and artichoke. It was delicious from start to finish. The dessert, poached pears with chocolate sorbet and whipped cream was perhaps the weakest course. My best food friend didn't care for the watery pear and I thought it was ok.

We ordered the side of creole rice, but it was just basic no taste white rice. We frequently visit New Orleans, and there was nothing creole about that rice. I wanted to try the pork dish, but it was not available. We ordered a 50cl carafe of the Rhône Merlot, and it was good. We may visit again to try other menu items.

There is a bit of ceremony on arrival as you are checked in and wait for the special elevator which whisks you up to the restaurant. The views of Paris are spectacular and become even better as darkness falls and the city lights up. Our team of servers were great, the dining room is comfortable and we enjoyed the 7 course tasting menu. Of course, this style of dining is not for all, and our dinner stretched well over 3 hours, but we thought excellent. Drinks, wine, champagne all good. As others mention, that initial offering of Champagne is not on the house, but 40euro per glass. I don't know that it is worth detailing each of the dishes, but enough to say we enjoyed them all, perhaps some more than others. I'm not sure how frequently the menu changes. If you are considering this, and have something special to celebrate, then by all means bite the bullet and do it.

And if you are a long time follower, you know... Quality/Quantity - I was so looking forward to this experience/meal. We booked (and prepaid) for this dinner. My wife chose the 5 course meal while I chose the 7 course; see my pictures of the menu and meal. Thank you for letting us choose different meals. We skipped the champagne when we were seated, but I wonder what that would have cost?!?! We skipped the addition of Mature cheese with Truffle, even though the waiter was fairly aggressive in suggesting it?!?! Glad we skipped as I saw how large that was on the table next to us. He had a hard time finishing it. Fusion French food. The most positive way to describe this meal for me is interesting... Complimentary Bread and Butter - What a GREAT start, it took all the power in me to NOT eat the entire loaf. Baked perfectly. Crispy on the outside and so soft and fluffy on the inside. When I complimented this to the waiter, he told me it was from a local baker... Appertizers - See pictures. Lobster - Several layers of flavors and textures, but it is meant to eat a little of everything with each bite. Which actually was not easy to do as the spoon was large and the plate/bowl opening was small. I believe the bowl gets more narrow as it gets deeper. Asparagus - Asparagus with Asparagus sauce and a pancake filled with asparagus cream cheese. Langoustine - A ravioli of langoustine wrapped in a beetroot jelly, surrounded with foam. This was actually okay. Turbot - Did I forget to take a picture? Or did it not get uploaded? Anyway, a tiny piece of fish with caviar. I do see that one of my many videos did get uploaded. Poultry - Two pieces of chicken pressed with a slice of mushroom in the center. The second piece of ??? Raspberry - This was actually good; both my wife and I enjoyed it. Maybe because it had raspberry sorbet, ice cream, or gelato? Chocolate - Another good dessert. Overall the food was okay, but I expect more from a Michelin Star restaurant and so should you. Ambiance - It's the Eiffel Tower... Got a perfect table with beautiful views, see pictures. Thank you. I also appreciated the ability to walk outside after dinner to see the lights of the tower; again, see pictures. The lights are on at 10pm and every hour but for only 5 minutes. So you HAVE to time it accordingly. Service - Started off great! Then continued to go downhill?!?! At the end, my wife had to ask 3 different people for more hot water, and it came right before 10pm during the light show when we wanted to leave... It took almost 20 minutes to get more hot water?!?! There was a shell in my wife's lobster dish, so they complimented her to a 7 course dinner, a 35 Euro upgrade, thank you. And this was our first dish of the pre-fix meal which was not a good start for her. I wanted a 3rd glass of wine, but the sommelier never came back. Nor was it an option to get a dessert wine. Thanks for saving me a few $$. Price - 733 Euros, $850 US. Not worth it in my opinion... I wrote off this meal as paying for the location and views, not for the meal or service... Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.
