Romance Capital of the World: Top 5 Romantic Restaurants
1. 58 Tour Eiffel
This Eiffel Tower restaurant has been experiencing a new lease of life thanks to collaboration between chef Alain Ducasse and designer Patrick Jouin and undergoing a transformation such as that experienced after a holiday in the South of France. Formerly Altitude 95 this Eiffel Tower restaurant still maintains its features and is the perfect place for a romantic meal in one of the most incredible settings in the world. The 58 Tour Eiffel restaurant is perfect for either an Eiffel Tower lunch or dinner, changing its menu has Paris changes its apparel as night falls. The views, the menu and the accessibility of this restaurant above the streets gives it the number one spot for a romantic meal in Paris.
2. Le Pré Catelan
If the strains and stresses of metropolitan life are draining your strength then head out to the sanctuary of Le Pré Catelan in the Bois de Bologne. This restaurant would have an abundance of romantic charm even if diners were served what’s left of the frog after the legs have been cooked. Luckily, the food served is of the highest quality and diners are treated to sumptuous culinary delights in this calm, classy and chic restaurant. The Bois de Bologne has historically been a haven for artistic and aristocratic city dwellers who are in need of breathing space. Head chef Frédéric Anton brings variety and highly respected skill to the menu and supported by the ‘Best Sommelier in the World’ providing wine for diners. For the more adventurous or those trying to impress a food junkie, there is even a “table du chef” placed in the kitchen for a behind the scenes glimpse
3. Jules Verne Restaurant Paris
Thought of as one of the best dining experiences in the world the Jules Verne restaurant Paris has the advantage of being the highest in metres and most highly regarded of the venues on the list, but misses out on the top spot due to the pricey menu and high demand. The menu at the Jules Verne restaurant has also been crafted by Alain Ducasse, who is hard to escape in the food capital of the world. You will not fail to be seduced by the charm of one of the highest restaurants in Paris, and hopefully your date will agree. A vast range of food and breathtaking views of Paris are laid before diners at the Jules Verne restaurant Paris, and both are enjoyed enthusiastically on an evening of romance at the Eiffel Tower.
4. Les Ombres at Musee de Quai Branly
Famous for housing the greatest display of historical and anthropological art in Paris the Musée de Quai Branly hides a badly kept secret of a restaurant above the collections. Benefiting from a glass ceiling, an open terrace (in summer) and of course unmissable French food nowhere else offers such incredible views and atmosphere at ground level than at Les Ombres. Guy de Maupassant frequented the Eiffel Tower restaurant so would not have to look at views of what he considered an eyesore, but now it is so well loved a spectacular view of the structure is a a great asset to any restaurateur. Les Ombres restaurant gives diners such a view, and attracts admirers and couples in search of the perfect romantic photo. Dining in its shadow is celebrated in this restaurant and the décor has been specially designed to capture the reflections of the great tower. The silhouette of the Eiffel Tower is seen by all of Paris at night, but is only captured in the rooftop Les Ombres restaurant. Meaning ‘The Shadows’ it refers to its position in relation to the most iconic shape in Paris, and is unfortunately eclipsed by 58 Tour Eiffel restaurant.
5. Le Cour Jardin
Another Alain Ducasse eatery makes the list, this one seemingly at odds to the Eiffel Tower restaurants. Hidden away in a miniature enclosure and known only to those who look, this restaurant is shielded from the rest of the city by the instantly recognisable walls of Parisian architecture. A quaint quadrangle perfect for an intimate date, and more subdued than an Eiffel Tower dinner, Le Cour Jardin comes into its own on summer evenings. The moment the temperature rises the restaurant takes on more than its fair share of Parisian romance.
