Chef's team runs a tasting menu built around precise, restrained French technique: langoustine barely cooked over embers, a pigeon course roasted on the bone and carved tableside, dry-aged sauces reduced to a lacquer rather than a pool. The dining room itself, redesigned in structural steel-toned panels by Aline Asmar d'Amman, keeps the Tower's ironwork visible rather than hiding it behind curtains, so the view and the architecture argue with each other in the best way. It is not a restaurant that coasts on its address, though the address is doing plenty of work — book the 8:15pm seating in autumn and the last light on the Trocadéro will do more for the evening than anyone's speech. ## Menu highlights - **Langoustine grillée, beurre d'algues** €98 *Charcoal-kissed langoustine, seaweed butter emulsion, a single drop of shellfish oil* - **Pigeon rôti à la broche, jus corsé** €145 *Whole pigeon roasted on a spit, carved tableside, sauce reduced over three days* - **Menu Découverte (7 courses)** €285 *The kitchen's full statement, wine pairing available for an additional €160* Rating transparency **FlightLogic expert score: 9.2/10.** Star ratings on this page are editorial composites from named FlightLogic research — not aggregated consumer submissions — unless individually marked as verified below.

See our [review integrity policy](https://flightlogic.co.uk/review-integrity/). ### How far in advance should I book Le Jules Verne? Reserve 6 to 8 weeks out for standard evening seatings, and closer to 3 months for weekend tables with a west-facing view toward the Trocadéro. Cancellation windows open up occasionally about two weeks before the date. ### Does the reservation include Eiffel Tower access or skip the public lift line? Yes. Diners use a dedicated private lift in the south pillar reserved for the restaurant, bypassing the general visitor queue entirely — arrive at the dedicated entrance rather than the main tourist entrance. ## Visit info ### Hours **Monday** 12:00–13:30, 19:00–21:30 **Tuesday** 12:00–13:30, 19:00–21:30 **Wednesday** 12:00–13:30, 19:00–21:30 **Thursday** 12:00–13:30, 19:00–21:30 **Friday** 12:00–13:30, 19:00–22:00 **Saturday** 12:00–13:30, 19:00–22:00 **Sunday** 12:00–13:30, 19:00–21:30 ### Features - Reservations accepted - Vegan options - Wheelchair accessible Last updated: 7 May 2026 ## Location ## More in Paris
