Eiffel Tower Lunch: Madame Brasserie, 1st Floor

About this tour

Sit down to lunch at Madame Brasserie, the restaurant on the Eiffel Tower's first floor, and eat with Paris spread out below the big windows. Your booking comes with priority access to the tower, a dedicated line for restaurant guests, and the elevator ride up to the first level. The set lunch menu leans on seasonal French cooking, with the option to add drinks. It's a relaxed way to see the tower from the inside while sitting down to a real meal rather than rushing the queues.

Visiting the Eiffel Tower: Levels, Access, and Hours

The tower has three levels, each with its own character. The first floor, where Madame Brasserie sits, has a glass floor section where you can look straight down to the Champ de Mars and feel the full height beneath you. The second floor has the widest sweep of panoramic views along with shops and dining. The summit, reached by elevator only, is the highest point open to visitors and looks out over the whole city, with Gustave Eiffel's restored office and a champagne bar up top.

The Eiffel Tower stands on the Champ de Mars at 5 Avenue Anatole France in central Paris. By Metro, take line 6, 8, or 9 to Bir-Hakeim or Passy; RER C stops at Champ de Mars–Tour Eiffel or Pont de l'Alma; and bus lines 42 and 82 stop nearby. Everyone enters through the secured esplanade, mainly via the East (Pilier Est) and South (Pilier Sud) entrances, where security checks take place. The East entrance is generally quieter and used for elevator access, the South for the stairs.

The tower is open daily, with longer hours in summer. From April to August the tower is open roughly 08:45 to 00:45, with elevator access 09:00 to 00:00 and stair access 09:00 to 23:45. From September to March it runs about 09:15 to 23:45, with elevator access 09:30 to 23:00 and stair access 09:30 to 22:45. The summit stays open until around 22:45, weather and crowds permitting, and last entry is one hour before closing.
