Eiffel Tower Lunch Madame Brasserie Paris: Seine Views

The menu changes with the season, built around what the Paris markets have that week.

Madame Brasserie is a restaurant on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower in Paris where you order a three or four-course lunch with wine, water, coffee and an aperitif, then sit down to eat while looking out at the Seine and the landmarks around it. Elevator access to the first floor is included, and the meal lasts roughly 90 minutes. You choose between seating that faces the river or the interior of the brasserie, and the menu is guided by chef Thierry Marx, who sources ingredients from Paris markets and changes the dishes with the season.

The experience

You arrive at the Eiffel Tower and head to the restaurant without needing a separate ticket to the monument. Your reservation includes the lift to the first floor. Before you sit down to eat, there's a mystery game to play, a small puzzle that sets the tone for the meal. Then you're seated either facing the Seine or inside the warmth of the brasserie itself, depending on which option you've chosen.

The menu runs three or four courses depending on which one you pick at checkout. A recent menu opened with melon soup with verbena, cured ham and crispy toast, moved into lightly seared French octopus with seaweed butter and navy beans, and closed with a raspberry cake layered with blackberries and almonds. What arrives on your plate shifts with what's in the Paris markets that week: chef Thierry Marx builds the menu around seasonal and local ingredients, so the dishes change. Drinks flow throughout: an aperitif to start, wine and water with the meal, coffee at the end.

After lunch, you're free to walk the first floor of the Eiffel Tower if you want to stay longer. The whole experience (game, meal, drinks) takes roughly 90 minutes, which means you can fit it into an afternoon without losing the rest of your day in Paris.
