Starters

The dinner spread at the Eiffel Tower is even more elaborate than the lunch menu. The starters feature a wide variety of both fresh produce and assorted proteins. The Tartlet of fresh Père Fabre goat’s cheese with beetroot and hazelnuts is a recommended vegetarian dish, whereas the Blue lobster with cauliflower couscous, grapefruit and French caviar vinaigrette is a must-have for non-vegetarians.

Main Course

The main course options at the Eiffel Tower are quite diverse and elegant. The Lightly grilled sea bass with cauliflower and grilled hazelnuts is one of the most popular dishes at the restaurant. Veal pavé steak with butternut squash cannelloni and veal jus is another crowd pleaser. You may also have the Free-range corn-fed chicken breast.

Desserts & Beverages

The sophisticated desserts menu is a feature of the restaurant. It puts together fresh and rich elements in a perfect balance to create delectable servings. The Rich dark chocolate mousse with chocolate fondant sponge and cocoa streusel is another delicate dessert that will gratify one and all. You may also try the Rum and raisin baba with hazelnut infused cream or the Roasted apple with crème fraîche and caramel ice cream. You will also get to choose between a bottle of Bourgogne Saint Véran, Coteaux d’Aix en Provence, and Bordeaux - St Emilion.

Kids' Menu

The kids' menu features Vol-au-vent, free-range chicken and sweetbread, mushrooms and truffle that is healthy and delicious. The portion is also suitable for children. The Free-range corn-fed chicken breast, cannelloni, butternut squash and spinach is popular with the kids as well. The favorite, by far, is the Buckwheat crumble with apple and pear confit, crème fraîche and salted caramel.

This was our 2nd time eating here and it was very good again...! The whole organization, from the entrance, to the tickets and the elevator... perfect. We were greeted warmly in the restaurant, shown to our seats and explained the next steps. The welcome champagne soon arrived.
