How many are there and what are they?
In addition to a buffet where you can enjoy quick meals, on the most famous tower in France there are two restaurants: the 58 Tour Eiffel and the prestigious Jules Vernes, managed by the multi-starred chef Alain Ducasse.
Is it possible to have both lunch and dinner?
Yes, both restaurants offer customers the opportunity to stop and enjoy their delicious dishes for both lunch and dinner, and offer extremely innovative and sophisticated menus and never banal.
58 Tour Eiffel
Located on the 1st floor, the 58 Eiffel Tower, run by the chef Alaine Soulard, is one of the two restaurants on the Tower. Why 58? Because it is 57 + 1 meters high. Surrounded entirely by glass, it offers a magnificent view of the Trocadéro and the Palais Chaillot if you look outwards, and of the spectacular iron structure if, on the other hand, you look inwards.
The environment of the 58 Tour Eiffel is familiar and refined at the same time: during the day, it is the ideal setting for a decidedly chic picnic, while in the evening it transforms into an environment characterized by an intimate, muffled and rarefied atmosphere, with the city of Paris illuminated at your feet.
