Which is the Most Romantic Restaurant in Paris?
1. 58 Tour Eiffel
One of the two Eiffel Tower restaurants has been experiencing a new lease of life thanks to a joint venture by chef Alain Ducasse and designer Patrick Jouin and undergoing a rejuvenation equivalent to a facelift. Formerly Altitude 95 this Eiffel Tower restaurant still retains its charm and provides the best French cuisine 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 cuisine and the accessibility of this restaurant over looking the City of Lights 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 haven of Le Pré Catelan in the Bois de Bologne. This venue would still attract food experts and couples in search of romance even if diners brought their own picnic. Luckily, a team of highly respected chefs work tirelessly to source the best food from all over France and diners are treated to sumptuous culinary delights in this calm, classy and chic restaurant. The Bois de Bologne has long been the retreat of artistic and aristocratic city dwellers who are in need of fresh air. Head chef Frédéric Anton brings his own style and imagination to the menu and is complimented by the ‘Best Sommelier in the World' in charge of the wine list. To make that date extra special, 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 restaurants 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 has provided food for world leaders, film stars and the glitterati. It is hard not 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 devoured with great delight on an evening of romance at the Eiffel Tower.
4. Les Ombres at Musee de Quai Branly
Famous for displaying a great collection of historical and anthropological art in Paris the Musée de Quai Branly also contains a rare gem of a restaurant above the collections. With a glass ceiling, an outdoor terrace (in summer) and of course unmissable French food there are few places with such incredible views and atmosphere at ground level than at Les Ombres. Guy de Maupassant dined at the Eiffel Tower so he wouldn't be subjected to a view of what he considered an eyesore, but now few trips to Paris are complete without dining in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. Les Ombres restaurant has access to such a view, and attracts admirers and couples in search of the perfect romantic photo. Eating underneath the Eiffel Tower is celebrated in this restaurant and the décor has been constructed to capture the reflections of the great tower. The silhouette of the Eiffel Tower is seen by all of Paris at night, but is best seen in the rooftop Les Ombres restaurant. Translated as ‘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 is shortlisted for the most romantic restaurant in Paris, this one very different from the other two included. Concealed in a small enclave and known only to those who look, this restaurant is shielded from the rest of the city by the high walls of Parisian architecture. A quaint quadrangle perfect for an intimate date, and more subdued than an Eiffel Tower dinner, Le Cour Jardin excels itself on summer evenings. As soon as the temperature rises the restaurant takes on more than its fair share of Parisian romance.
