Le Jules Verne at a glance

The price, with no surprises

The menu is the biggest cost, but not the only one: allow for wine pairing (charged separately), water, coffee and service. For two people, the 5-course menu alone is already 590 euros before wine. Lunch is generally cheaper than dinner, and it gives a daytime view of Paris. Note that prices differ a lot between sources, probably because some pages are old; only the restaurant's official website is authoritative.

How to book

Reservations open about 90 days before the date. For a Saturday night, a birthday or a proposal, log in as soon as slots open. Otherwise, try a weekday lunch. The restaurant has its own access by a dedicated lift; a table booking does not replace a ticket to go up to the summit. If you also want to visit the tower, buy that ticket separately (see our Eiffel Tower guide).

Who it suits, and who it does not

This is a major fine-dining meal, not a simple stop with a view: if the view is your priority, a ticket to the 2nd floor or the summit costs 23.50 or 36.70 euros by lift (2026 prices from our guide) and can be combined with a meal elsewhere. If you only want a good meal near the tower, see our guide to restaurants near the Eiffel Tower. To go up to the summit too, see our summit tickets guide.
