Eiffel Tower: Lunch at Madame Brasserie

Additional Information & Description

Lunch at Madame Brasserie pairs French cooking with views of Paris from inside the Eiffel Tower. Large windows look out over the city below, making the setting as much a part of the meal as the food. This restaurant visit brings a different focus to time at the tower: a seated lunch rather than a sightseeing stop alone.

A Parisian dining room

Madame Brasserie has an elegant, Parisian-style interior, with classic French artwork on the walls and a choice of booths and tables. The wait staff welcome you on arrival and seat you for lunch. The dining room provides the setting for a menu rooted in French cuisine, with dishes ranging from savoury pastries to meat and seafood, prepared using fresh, local ingredients.

Thierry Marx’s approach to the menu

Chef Thierry Marx shapes the gourmet menu around local and seasonal products, bringing his human and environmental values into the restaurant’s cooking. His influences extend beyond traditional recipes: the history of French gastronomy, his own scientific research and a passion for Asia all inform his cuisine. Fine wines accompany the restaurant’s food, while drinks are included with your lunch only if you select that option.

What your ticket includes

Your ticket includes the lunch menu, priority access to the Eiffel Tower, a dedicated queue for Madame Brasserie customers and elevator access to the first floor, where the restaurant is located. It does not include a lift ticket to the upper floors. Additional food and drinks beyond your selected lunch option are also excluded, so this ticket covers the restaurant visit rather than access to every level of the tower.

The engineering behind the setting

Completed in 1889 as the centrepiece of that year’s World’s Fair, the Eiffel Tower was then the tallest building in the world. Its structure combines 18,000 metallic parts with 2.5 million rivets. Those figures give a sense of the engineering achievement behind the landmark that houses your lunch venue.
