Very close to the Champ-de-Mars is Kwen Liew and Ryunosuke Naito's 18-seat restaurant. He's Japanese and has trained in some of the most prestigious kitchens in Paris (Taillevent, Meurice), she is Malaysian and has trained across Sydney, Bangkok, Singapore, the South of France, and Paris. Working perfectly in tandem, they compose market cuisine with intense flavors, offering a delicious facelift to the French tradition.

We'd be remiss not to open this list with the only restaurant located inside the Eiffel Tower. Head up 125m in a private elevator to this second floor dining room and enjoy a cod with fried garlic and fresh coriander, or a fillet of lamb in its liquorice-flavored jus. Try to book your meal well in advance and take a table near the bay windows: the view of Paris, through the metal beams of the tower, is quite simply unforgettable.

In a quiet street a stone’s throw from the Eiffel Tower, this restaurant offers a understated interior full of light. On the menu, you can choose from a range of updated dishes, prepared by two chefs, all of which place the focus on flavour and taste. For example, a delicious fillet of wild Pollock with squash.

Change (and quality) in continuity: Bertrand Bluy has managed to preserve the spirit of the place, in the style of a luxury neo-brasserie, and its philosophy, made famous by Christian Constant. In the kitchen, Alain Solivérès and Jimmy Tsaramanana celebrate the South-West with great technical mastery and high-quality products. Remember to book, as the tables are always full here.

Passionate about fine seasonal produce, Stéphane Jégo serves cuisine that is bursting with generosity and flavours. Dishes with quite some character! Be sure to book.

A genuine magnet for lovers of haute couture charcuterie, this restaurant is just a hop, skip, and a jump from the Eiffel Tower. Arnaud Nicolas, Meilleur Ouvrier de France, crafts a big-boned tasting menu in which pâté en croûte, house-made terrine and rillettes rub shoulders with more elaborate dishes such as pork and sweetbread pie or pearlescent cod with a smoky hollandaise sauce. An outstanding establishment that adroitly blends exceptional charcuterie and high-flying gastronomy.

Old signs, clocks and vintage furniture set the scene. As for the food, authenticity is the order of the day: hearty, down-to-earth dishes, such as white pudding and pâté en croûte inspired by those that the chef’s dad (a Meilleur Ouvrier de France no less!) used to make in Orléans… Amusing collection of nutcrackers picked up here and there by the owner's mum. A real cracker!

Contemplative gastronomy—this is the promise of Alain Ducasse with his electric boat restaurant, moored just in front of the Eiffel Tower, which offers its customers an ecological and silent gastronomic cruise on the Seine. See the monuments of Paris while discovering a kitchen of fine craftsmanship, smoothly led by a brigade worthy of the greatest restaurants in the city.

Moored next to Passerelle Debilly, a footbridge spanning the Seine, on the right bank, opposite the Eiffel Tower, the Don Juan II is a magnificent Art Deco yacht, with sumptuous wood panelling and thick carpet. Embark on a 2.5hr-long sightseeing and gourmet cruise, with an outstanding chef, Frédéric Anton, at the helm! He has selected some emblematic creations from Le Pré Catelan with which to indulge his passengers.

For a location in Paris, it would be hard to do better than this address... Nestled in the Palais de Tokyo, it is superb with its Art Deco interior in a palette of grey, green and gold, and its terrace looking out over the Seine and the Eiffel Tower. Not to be outdone by the setting, the food is sophisticated and tasty. A very high - profile place!
