Jules Verne is the flagship restaurant on the second floor of the iconic Eiffel Tower with breathtaking views over the city of Paris. The restaurant seats 120 diners, but it is divided into several rooms by honeycomb walls that allow you to see the waiters dressed in their bespoke uniforms by Lanvin 15 Faubourg. Tables are well-laid with their silver plated cutlery designed by the Orfèvrerie de France, and ebony carving knives crafted by Coutellerie Chambriard in Thiers, together with MD crystal and carafes from the Vallerysthal glassworks in Lorraine.

The menus are peppered with stunningly creative ideas along the lines of marinated scallops, cream of cauliflower soup and gold caviar or preserved duck foie gras, delicate gelée of black fig and toasted brioche. Mains are also enticing with truffled saddle of hare, shoulder, stuffed with foie gras or pan seared blue lobster, mustard and tarragon jus. There is no let-up when it comes to the dessert stage, where you might find delights like tower bolt, dark chocolate praliné with hazelnut ice cream or savarin with armagnac of your choice and Chantilly cream.

There is an impressive wine list of some 430 references from some of France's most beautiful winegrowing regions, such as Burgundy, the Rhône and Bordeaux. Each month a different wine region is invited to showcase its finest production.

For a special dining experience, in an exceptional location, you will need to book your place several months in advance at this Michelin starred restaurant, especially if you want a window seat.
