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.

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. The three-course menu was delicious and the accompanying wine was also delicious... and plentiful...👍 All in all... a successful evening... Appropriate for the 10th wedding anniversary...😀
