When in Paris, dine the French way

With Thierry Marx cooking up a storm in the Madame Brasserie kitchen, Michelin-style dining awaiting you at Jules Verne, quick bites for those little hunger pangs, flavourful macarons ready to give you the real French flavor and the top floor inviting you to sip on bubbly champagne, it’s your chance to eat your heart out!

Visitor tips

You won't get to pick your exact table at Madame Brasserie, but don't worry - they assign them beforehand and you'll still have a great view of Paris from your second-row seat.

If you have any food allergies or follow a specific diet, use the contact form on the Jules Verne and Madame Brasserie websites to let them know in advance if you're dining in.

You’re required to show a valid ID proof to allow you inside the restaurants, so make sure you’re carrying a passport or ID card.

If you’re going for fine dining, there’s a dress code at the restaurant, so go for formal attire and avoid wearing gym clothes, sneakers, flip-flops, or anything too casual. The rest of the eateries have no such rules.

Unfortunately, your furry friends are not allowed entry.

The Eiffel Tower has elevators to help visitors with mobility issues reach the diners on-site.

Don’t fret about not getting an Instagrammable picture clicked—the Brasserie's photographers will be there to capture your special moments!
