Michelin Restaurants near the Eiffel Tower: 19 Safe Bets
Around the Eiffel Tower, the easy options are brasseries with laminated menus and a view you pay for twice. It's one of the most trap-dense corners of Paris, which is a shame, because the 7th also hides some of the city's best kitchens, often a short walk from the Champ-de-Mars.
These are the 19 Michelin restaurants near the Eiffel Tower, from a packed Basque-leaning bistro to three-star vegetable cooking, each with prices and must-try dishes. See the whole neighborhood on our 7th arrondissement page, or compare with Michelin near the Champs-Élysées.

Michelin 1-starMichelinPicking a Michelin restaurant near the Eiffel Tower
The 7th mixes three very different Michelin experiences: bistros the guide recommends, starred chef's tables, and dining rooms with the Tower in the window. Most sit in the top price range, but lunch menus make many of them far easier to reach.
Bistros the locals fight over
L'Ami Jean, on rue Malar, is loud, packed and generous: Stéphane Jégo cooks French food with a Basque accent, and the riz au lait is the dessert everyone talks about. Tomy & Co, steps from the Tower, uses vegetables from Tomy Gousset's own garden, with lunch from €25. Les Parisiens, in a 1930s-style room, serves demi-homard gratiné and escargot ravioli every day of the week. More in our restaurants in the 7th.
Starred tables, big and small
Arpège, Alain Passard's three-star, now cooks only plants and serves Monday to Friday. David Toutain works vegetables and seafood into seasonal menus worth two stars. Le Violon d'Ingres cooks the Southwest, from cassoulet to Grand Marnier soufflé, with lunch from €58. For the most intimate meal, Pertinence seats just 14 for French-Japanese tasting menus, while L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon puts 40 guests around its counter for the famous purée. See the 1-star and 3-star lists for the rest of Paris.
Dinner with the Tower in view
Le Jules Verne sits 125 meters up, on the Eiffel Tower's second floor: ask for a window table when you book. Les Ombres, on the roof of the Musée du Quai Branly, has a glass dining room and a terrace facing the Tower. More in our Michelin restaurants with a view and places with a view.
Before you go
Book the bistros days ahead and the starred tables weeks ahead. Several starred kitchens close at the weekend, so if you're free on a Saturday night, check the hours first or lean on our restaurants open on Sunday. Craving a livelier Left Bank evening? Walk over to the 6th arrondissement.
