PARIS -- In a city teeming with culinary landmarks, the true test of a restaurant often lies not in its proximity to a monument, but in its ability to make you forget it. RESTAURANT DE LA - TOUR, nestled comfortably in the shadow of the Iron Lady, passes this test with resounding flair. It is not a place that leans on the postcard views for its appeal; instead, it commands attention through the quiet confidence of its kitchen and the warm, genuine hospitality that feels both classic and refreshingly sincere. The menu is a love letter to French technique, but one written with a modern, inventive hand. A meal begins with a clear statement of intent. The Mixed Salad with Pears and Blue Cheese is a masterclass in balance, where the sweet, delicate slices of pear cut through the bold, creamy tang of the cheese. Even more compelling is the Warm Snails Escargots cassolette with Artichokes mousseline and Hazelnuts. This is a definitive departure from the garlic-and-parsley butter trope. The snails, tender and earthy, are nestled in a luxuriously smooth artichoke mousseline, their richness punctuated by the satisfying crunch of hazelnuts. It is a dish that feels both comforting and sophisticated. Enhancing Dining Experience R... The main courses continue this narrative of elevated tradition. The Roasted Filet of Salmon arrives with a crisp skin giving way to a flawlessly moist interior, resting on a vibrant ratatouille that sings of a basil-infused summer. For the richer palate, the Pan-fried Duck Breast is a standout. Sliced into rosy, perfect medallions, its robust flavor is brilliantly offset by a sharp, sweet raspberry sauce and the decadent, creamy embrace of potatoes gratin. Other classics are rendered with equal precision. The Pan-fried Duck Liver, seared to a silken texture, finds its soulmate in a doting apricot marmalade, its sweetness teased out by a whisper of rosemary. The Roasted Chicken Breast, a dish so often mundane, is transformed here. It is supremely juicy, elevated to grandeur by a profound Brie and truffle cheese sauce that is as indulgent as it sounds. No French feast is complete without its final act, and the pastry chef does not disappoint. The Warm Apple Tart Tatin is everything one hopes for in this iconic dessert-caramelized, buttery apples on a sturdy base, its warmth melting the cool vanilla ice cream alongside it. Its rival in decadence, the Warm Melted Chocolate Cake, delivers that timeless, gooey center, a rich eruption that is perfectly tempered by the clean, cold vanilla bean ice cream. RESTAURANT DE LA - TOUR understands that a memorable meal in Paris is more than the sum of its dishes. It is an atmosphere, a feeling. It is the kind of place that doesn't just feed you, but reminds you why French cuisine remains a global beacon. You may come for the landmark nearby, but you will return for the landmark meal. read more

My husband and I spent new years eve 2022-23 at the Restaurant de la Tour and loved the food. The menu was excellent. The only reason i gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because with they had btw 9-11 table being served and only one server. This meant that she was receiving guest, answering the phone (which rang often) and serving the guest their very expensive plates of food. A lot to expect from one person. At the cost perperson of 180 euros i thought they could have had two people . read more

Found this restaurant on Yelp after visiting the Eiffel Tower. Our late lunch there was the best meal that we have had, by far, on this trip which also includes London. Excellent service, quaint atmosphere, but most importantly outstanding food. Highly recommend this restaurant before or after visiting the Eiffel Tower. Only a 7 minute walk. read more

Pappardelle with Foie Gras: The noodles were perfectly cooked, the foie gras was impossibly creamy and the sauce was flavorful but not overwhelming. A delicately balanced dish I would highly recommend. 5/5 Ratatouille: On a chilly night this was the most obvious option for my starter and I did not regret. Was so tasty I forgot to snap a photo. A flavroful hearty stew all condensed down into this thick disc of savory goodness. 5/5 Creme Brulee: The best creme brulee I have tasted inside or outside of France (and I have eaten a lot of creme burlee in my day!). 5/5 For 34 euro you get an antree then choice of starter and dessert, and for 30 euro you get entree and EITHER starter or dessert. Definitely worth it to get the three course meal in my opinion. The quality for the experience here is unmatched and they have an excellent wine selection to go with you meal. The only thing that kept it out of 5 star territory was the extremely tight dining conditions. Literally I felt like I was seated at the table with the couple to my right and to my left. The clientele are approximately 75% international tourists and 25% French tourists. I don't think many Parisians venture over to the Eiffel tower area for dinner - so that is probably what you would expect. Service is attentive but there is only one waitress for the entire diing area, which seats about 30 people so it is definitely a several hour long dining experience. To avoid the most crowded time of night I would recommend making your reservation for their earliest or their latest seating, if you can manage to work up an appetite at those times. read more

This little gem locates near our hotel Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel. So on our last night in Paris, my wife and I decided to dine locally. We chose Restaurant de la Tour. And we sure made the right choice! This elegant little restaurant has everything to offer - intimate ambience, great service and amazing food. My wife and I opted for the 3 courses menu. Everything was perfect from the starters to entrees and desserts. I ordered green salad with marinated crayfish, pork stew with honey sauce mashed potatoes and warm crumble apple & rhubarb vanilla ice cream for dessert. My wife ordered salad perigourdine with smoked duck breast & duck liver pate, pan-fried duck breast with green pepper sauce mashed potatoes and cheese cake with raspberry for dessert. All the dishes were beautifully presented and tasted even more amazing. The dinner was a terrific way to end our romantic Paris trip. We will definitely be back to this restaurant the next time we are in Paris. À bientôt. read more

I found this place on Yelp after seeing all of its fantastic reviews, and it did not disappoint. My girlfriend and I had the beef stew and chicken with morels sauce and both were the best dishes we had while in Paris. I cannot recommend the beef stew enough. The salad was incredible and the dessert was the icing on the cake. It was made even better by the fantastic service, who happens to be the chef's wife. Definitely set aside time to check out this place if you're near by. read more

One word: Amazing. My husband and I went here last night for Valentine's Day. This is our first trip to Paris, and I had done extensive research on where to go, trying to find somewhere elegant but not too stuffy and fancy. First off, this is not a tourist trap, there were many locals dining while we were there. I'm almost certain the hostess is the owner, she was incredibly professional and accommodating considering we don't speak French. Also, she was the only waitress on a busy holiday night but still tended to each party perfectly with ease and didn't look flustered or stressed at all. She made us feel welcome and the food was beautiful and delicious! Lastly, she gave a rose to each lady at the end of the meal. The pri-fixe menu was €98 per person for a starter, main, dessert and 1/2 bottle of white or red wine which is honestly a very good price for dining in central Paris especially given how close the location is to the Tour Eiffel. I had the crayfish salad for starter, the beef stew for main (holy crap AMAZING) and the chocolate cake for dessert. My husband had the ratatouille for starter, lamb shank for main (which was huge), and the apple/rhubarb crumble for dessert. We shared a bottle of red wine (1/2 bottle each) which was also very good and went perfectly with our meals. We were required to put down €80 to hold our reservation and then paid the balance of €116. Dinner for two on Valentine's Day for under $250? Score! Coming from Honolulu, HI that easily could have costed $300 or more. This place is a gem! Highly recommended. P.S. Pictures of our starters are missing - we were too excited read more

This was my favorite restaurant we went to while we were in Paris. It's a small place so plan early. We tried to for dinner and it was full so we went the next day for lunch. I had the tuna and my husband had the filet. Both were delicious. read more

So glad I found this place! It's a small restaurant next to the Eiffel Tower with amazing prices and delicious food. They offer a 3 course meal for €34 (appetizer, main course, and dessert) or 2 out of the 3 courses for €30. I ordered a filet mignon for my main course, which was an extra €5. The appetizers are phenomenal! I ordered smoked salmon and tried my boyfriend's crayfish. Both were fresh and delicious. For the main course, I replaced my filet mignon's side of potatoes with vegetables/spinach. I ordered my filet to be cooked medium, and it was definitely more on the medium-well side. Nonetheless, it still tasted great. Service was great too! There was just one server, who seemed to be the owner. She was very professional, spoke English, and recommended great wine. While the restaurant is not large, it provides a classy yet homey feeling. I would definitely come back here on my next trip to Paris! read more

The place is tiny, maybe holds 30 diners. It is a husband and wife team with husband cooking and wife as hostess and the only waitress. At first we felt sorry for her but when she completely ignored us, we became angry because she had time to visit with her French friends but not serve us our food. The food was fantastic but unfortunately the service was horrible. If they would hire more staff, it could be excellent. Very disappointing evening. read more

Outstanding food! We had a great lunch and hope to return for dinner. Great service and exquisitely prepared food.

My daughter enjoyed the duck and sorbet for desert. I loved the skirt steak and the cheesecake was some of the best ever tasted. Reservations are a must, but unlike most places they do not over book and it made the atmosphere completely unhurried. read more

Had a lovely romantic dinner here 2 weeks ago for our wedding anniversary. It is small & intimate & the food was very good. Great for a special occasion. read more

Delicious, traditional, and well run The area surrounding the Eiffel Tower can be a bit sparse in terms of quality restaurants that can accommodate a group without being touristy -- the Restaurant de la Tour is the rare exception. I had a last-minute professional dinner and was able to call ahead for reservations for 10 for the same night. The single dining room's atmosphere is cozy but elegant; the single server is also the co-owner -- her husband is the chef. Service was smooth, the food was delicious and traditional with a refreshing take. The menus appear to be printed based on what they have sourced that day, and of our party of ten all were well pleased. We had no issues getting ten separate checks. I personally had the foie gras and magret salad, followed by the magret de canard entree, and the melting chocolate cake for dessert. If, by the end of the meal, you are feeling a bit heavy and aren't up to a heavy dessert, I can also highly recommend the Grand Marnier and grapefruit that one of my colleagues picked-- a perfectly balanced light finish. Well worth a visit. I highly recommend calling ahead for reservations as the dining room was full, and they do just one seating per night. Plan time to savor your meal. read more

Can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Food, service and ambiance were wonderful. I ordered the avocado guacamole shrimp and grapefruit starter. Absolutely delicious and probably the best part of my meal. For my main meal I ordered the crispy salmon fillet in lemon butter sauce with mashed potatoes. It's salmon wrapped in a puff pastry. Very good too. For dessert I ordered the cheesecake with raspberry. Very good but my friend ordered the crème brûlée and that was even better. Would definitely return to this gem when I'm back in Paris. Highly recommend. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Paris. I have dined here three times over the past two years while traveling on business. The service and food have both been fantastic each time. It is just around the corner from the Eiffel Tower, but is not touristy at all. It is a great place to take first time visitors after viewing the Eiffel Tower on the first night in town. Make sure to make a reservation. Total seating is less than 30 people. read more

Our friend recommended this great cozy restaurant. Excellent service. Delicious dinner and perfect desert!!!!

Incredible 12 table restaurant. Make the reservation. Grossly under priced for the taste.

This has been the nicest and best dinner I've had so far in Paris. We were able to beat the Friday night dinner rush since the restaurant only has 11 tables. If you're looking for a nice and quiet dinner with someone special or with a small group... this little gem is perfect. A little roomier than most places to eat in Paris. We decided to order a starter and entree each. My wife had the salad with crayfish and the duck leg entree. I had the duck salad pate with foie gras and the filet mignon. All 4 dishes were yummy and we had no space for dessert. They also had an extensive dessert menu. I would definitely come back to try other items on the menu. read more

Restaurant de la Tour - Main course chicken dish. DELICIOUS!!!! - French Near Me - Paris, 75

I'm going to start with I don't usually Yelp anybody, but this little restaurant deserves it. We have been in Paris for 3 days and this restaurant is one you won't want to miss. It is within walking distance of the Eiffel Tower just down the street. The menu has a set price for a starter, main dish, and dessert for 41 Euros. Our food was so good...my wife got the chicken and I got the beef stew...both meals were excellent. It is hard to believe...that one woman was our host, bus person, and waiter which was serving approximately 12 tables. She worked non-stop and was polite, quick, and efficient. We had spent the previous night eating at the Frame Restaurant that had about 10 staff members and we didn't even get water for the first 15 minutes of us sitting down. One person at De La Tour managed 12 tables better than all the staff at the Frame Restaurant. In short, if you are trying to figure out where to eat near the Eiffel Tower...look no further as you won't be disappointed. read more

What can I say, awesome! The food and service were excellent. It's owned by a husband and wife and the wife is the server, she was very sweet. The house Pinot Noir wine was delicious (and we are wine snobs). I had the lamb stew and my husband the sausage with lentils and both were excellent. We were very impressed and if we weren't going home tomorrow we would be back. read more

I came here with my wife and her mother, and we enjoyed every bit of food! Hostess was attentive, friendly and warm, and food was just delicious! read more

This is a truly special restaurant and was quite possibly the best meal we had in Paris....and that's saying something since we also ate at Tour d'Argent. This is the only place we are that didn't have outdoor cafe seating, but since it was 92 degrees that day we were happy to be in an air conditioned space. The service was impeccable and the food....amazing!!! The 3 course menu was $40 and was totally worth it. Every entree was perfection! What a memorable meal! A perfect place to go after visiting the Eiffel Tower too! Have I gushed enough? read more

We went here on our last night in Paris, as we were looking for a nice French meal, and this is exactly what we received. Restaurant had a nice atmosphere, service was great and food was fantastic! We made reservations the night before as they fill up pretty quick (they were turning people away when we were there). Since it is located near the Eiffel tower, it seemed to be filled other tourists. (maybe due to great reviews on yelp and trip advisor) I had the duck confit and my girlfriend had the steak. Our meals were delicious and by far the best meal we had in Paris. Service was excellent and all handled by 1 woman, who worked extremely hard to keep the filled room happy! We had the fixed menu and with a bottle of wine was around €100, which was a great deal for the meal we had. Highly recommend this place! read more

Great little place very close to the Effiel Tower. As many of the reviews suggest this is run by one incredibly efficient host - she is clinical in her timing and very attentive. The food is spectactular and couldnt fault it at all! Would highly recommend - off the beaten track - french food done very well! read more

Unbelievable restaurant, superb food, great wine and terrific ambience. If you are in the area this is a must stop, but you MUST make a reservation. For dinner there is only one seating and the small restaurant only can accommodate a handful of customers. This is a small family restaurant with the husband in the kitchen and his wife doing everything else (she is amazing). This is a don't miss when in Paris, enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and then finish the evening with a stroll through Paris. read more

"EXCELLENT RESTAURANT" My Fiancé and I flew into Paris later in the afternoon and settled into our hotel in the area. Upon arriving in our room we were both jet lagged from flying halfway across the world. We set out around 9pm for some food and found this little hidden gem. When we first arrived I could tell they looked like they were almost closed. No matter, the lady who greeted us gestured us to take a seat and showed us the specials. The restaurant is small but cute and comforting. The server was very friendly and was helpful with recommendations of food and what wines to pair with it. I highly recommend doing a combo, Salad, entree and cream Brûlée . The Scallop tar tar which my fiancé ordered was excellent also. Overall even though this place was almost closed, they still accommodated us and the food and service were excellent. If you stay around the Eiffel Tower, highly recommend checking this place out. read more
