There are two restaurants at the Eiffel Tower, for which bookings can be made separately to a visit of the Tower: the legendary Jules Verne, a Michelin-starred restaurant by Frédéric Anton on the second floor, and Madame Brasserie, a new Parisian venue headed by Chef Thierry Marx on the first floor.
Choose between the Brasserie menu (from €48 per person, not including drinks) or the Madame menu (from €69 per person, not including drinks). A children's menu is also available for 4-11 year olds (€20). Guests can dine at 12pm or 1:30pm and it is advisable to book in advance.
Should you leave a tip? In Paris, the bill in bars and restaurants includes a service charge, so you do not have to leave a tip. However, if you have been satisfied with your meal and the service you are welcome to do so. A tip in general amounts to 5 to 10% of the bill.
A ticket is required to access the 1st and 2nd Levels. Several types of tickets are offered, based on whether you want to take the elevator and/or stairs.
Unless weather conditions or special safety considerations prevent it, you can visit the tower up to midnight from mid-June to early September and up to 11:00 pm the rest of the year. The hours of operation are also extended to midnight during Easter weekend and spring break.
Dress code: formal attire. Shorts (including Bermuda shorts) and sportswear are not allowed. Your gastronomic experience begins as soon as you arrive at the Eiffel Tower with a dedicated welcome and a private elevator reserved exclusively for guests at Le Jules Verne to take you to the second floor.

Visiting time to the Eiffel Tower is not limited. However we recommend that you plan sufficient visiting time at the end of the evening (i.e. around 1 1/2 hours for a visit to the 2nd floor and 1st floor and 2 1/2 hours for a full visit up to the top).

The peak experience is halfway down.By all means, go to the top if you have the time (skip it if your schedule's tight). But I prefer to linger on the second floor: For me, the best views are from this middle level — high enough to see all of Paris, but low enough to pick out distinguishing landmarks.
The 2nd FloorYou will enjoy clear views of all of the French capital's monuments: the Louvre, Grand Palais, the bends in the Seine, Montmartre, Invalides, Notre Dame, etc. But the 2nd floor is also a treat for your taste buds with our Michelin-starred restaurant, the Jules Verne.
Yes, tap water in Paris is perfectly safe to drink and is readily available wherever you go, even at public water fountains. As long as taps aren't labeled eau non potable—meaning “not for drinking” in French—everything else is potable. In fact, drinking water from the fountains of Paris has been encouraged.
As for dinner, we're a bit more flexible. We don't eat as late as our Spanish neighbors by any means, but most people won't sit down to dinner before 8 p.m., and in most places, looking for a full dinner after 10:30 p.m. can get complicated, as well.
Most bars in Paris close between 1 and 2am, just in time to catch the last metro. But if you want to stay out all night, clubs (known as boîtes de nuit) stay open until 6am, perfect for dancing the night away and then heading home on the first train!
