The view of the Eiffel Tower is amazing and it's incredibly close. No matter where you sit, you'll still get a pretty great view. It's a prix fixe menu and definitely pricey, but you're paying for the experience and the view. The food was good, nothing to complain about, and it worked perfectly for a special occasion or a first time in Paris kind of night. Service felt a little rushed at times, but overall we had a really good time. read more

Absolutely beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower and amazing restaurant with glass ceiling. We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary dinner here and my most favorite place to be in Paris.

The view was the best part of the dining experience at this restaurant. We came here as part of our group dinner for our mba class, the prefix menu left a lot to be desired. The food was awful - I mean inedible. Definitely not worth to command the prices our group paid. Service would be the only star earned by this restaurant. Would not recommend. read more

This restaurant has an unbeatable view of the Eiffel Tower. It's a pretty room as well. The service was exceptionally bad. It seems each waitstaff person has their own job, taking the order, bringing bread, delivering plates, replacing silverware, removing plates, but you actually get no waiter. No one takes responsibility for your table. We waited an hour after ordering to get anything except bread, We refilled our own wineglasses. It wasn't negligent service as much as no service at all. Some of the food combinations are very odd. Green garden peas with some kind of sweet clear jelly cubes. Deserts were interesting. All in all, we'd consider going back for a drink but not dinner. Too expensive for no service and odd food. Great view though! read more

Les Ombres, atop the Musée du quai Branly, offers stunning views of the Eiffel Tower. The menu is prix fixe with either a choice of 5, 6, or 8 courses. The food is good but nothing really stood out except for the chocolate dessert. The service was friendly but seemed rushed (once, they took our unfinished plate without asking if we were done). But the view at the terrace was truly breathtaking! read more

I made the reservation for celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary during Honeymoon trip (postponed twice since 2020 due to Covid) in the end of March 2022. The overall experience was excellent. 1-5 stars ranking on each experience. Staff: 5 stars They were kind and service was great. Environment and "the view" of Eiffel Tower: I would say definitely 100% 5 stars. I made the reservation for 7pm and we could enjoy the amazing views of blue hours and night. We could be so close to Eiffel Tower and the lighting golden covering and sparkles for 5 minutes every hour after 8pm was phenomenal. The rooftop terrace of this restaurant was the best location among all locations to see all this! No joke. We felt so exclusive to be there as guests. Food: 4 stars Prix menu for dinner per person is 110 euros but you have to order 2 so we decided to order few dishes. Entrees starter: Confit duck foie gras, Orange and kumquat: 48 euros Melt-in-the-mouth and not so greasy. We liked it. I forgot the other one's name. Viandes meat: Seared Francillin pork chop, Cabbage and charcuterie sauce: 44 euros It was ok. Pork was a little bit dry. Prepared tenderloin of beef from Normandy, Anna potatoes: 48 euros My husband ordered it and he commented that was also ok taste. Dessert: All about the chocolate: 19 euros The chocolate is made from its factories in Paris so we felt like it was a must try. Taste was good. The restaurant also surprised us by presenting 2 small dessert plates with candles on to congratulate our anniversary. That was so sweet! It's a very romantic restaurant that you would like to take your beloved one to go and enjoy the pleasant dinner and view. The staff was offering to take pictures for us (don't even bother to ask) I couldn't recommend it enough. It is worth the money. You cannot find a place to beat it's location, price and service. Side Note: 1. Please Do make the reservation. 2. The restaurant only operates for lunch and dinner. If you make the reservation for 7pm, just patiently wait outside the first floor. The staff will come down around 6:55pm to unlock the door and guide you to the restaurant. 3. The restaurant address: 27 Quai Branly, 75007 Paris, France (technically the entrance is located next to Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac. Not in the same building. 4. Wear proper attire. read more

I absolutely loved every bit of my experience at Les Ombres. The service was impeccable, the view magnificent, and the food delicious. It's true that the real star of the show is the magical and wonderful view of the Eiffel Tower. There really isn't a bad seat in the whole place, but I will say I felt like I got the best view in the house. I had the Eiffel Tower right in front of me and got to see it all lit up and sparkle during my dinner. The service was outstanding and did not feel rushed at all. I enjoyed all my food pairing and thought the chef did a great job marrying different flavor combination. My only complaint has nothing to do with my dining experience but when I left the restaurant I have to walk through the garden to catch my Uber and the path was very dark and felt unsafe, especially for someone who was walking alone. read more

My experience was similar to one of the recent reviewers: The food was horrible!! The fish was completely cold, I took one bite and could not eat any more. I complained because there was a clear taste of ammonia (skate). There was no response from the kitchen, nor the service. I actually had to request eating utinsels twice, as mine were forgotten between courses. If you want to pay upwards of €30 for a glass of cheap red wine to go with your overcooked or non-seasoned food, this is your place. At least the price added some spice. read more

My friend and I dined here during our travels throughout France. It is worth the visit for the experience and photos, but please make sure you review your bill in detail before paying. Unfortunately, the evening ended with us getting charged for double the amount of drinks we had. When we brought this to the attention of our servers, they challenged us rather than owning their error. We left feeling taken advantage of and questioned how many others they have done this to. Buyer beware! 5 Stars for the view of the Eiffel Tower at night 4 Stars for the fun and creative tasting menu 1 Star for the bill "mishap" read more

Okay, I want people to stop complaining about the food here. You are only here for the view. That's it. There are plenty of restaurants where you can get much better food for 1/3 the price. The food here has elegant presentations, but flavor combinations are weird. No one comes here for the actual food! I am taking 1 star off my review because they seated two noisy children in front of me, blocking my phenomenal view of the Eiffel Tower. read more

Nothing beats the views that this place offers. Our table was located inside at the corner with the direct view of the Eiffel Tower. Our reservation was around 1:30pm right before they closed to prepare for dinner time and honestly was not too busy. The servers are very attentative and answered all of our questions regarding the menu. After reading the other reviews regarding the food, I would have to admit that our meals were delicious. We didn't complain and I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Paris! The outside terrace for pictures is a also a plus! read more

Just go! The food is really good, but not amazing (tiny portions) but the service is stellar. Ultimately though, you're going for the view of the Eiffel Tower and the ambiance. We went on our last night in Paris and loved it! I'd say it's a must when visiting. It's very romantic, but would be fine for a group of friends. read more

Les Ombres - Hibiscus and ginger (Les Ombres welcome drink) - French Near Me - Paris, 75

This is a nice, romantic restaurant with a gorgeous view of the Eiffel Tour! It is so beautiful, especially at night when it lights up every hour. Menu prices are between 30 euro per main dish to about 150 euro for prix-fixe menus which include several glasses of wine/champagne. TIP: Make a reservation in advance! The earlier you make it, the higher priority you have for a table by the window! My favorite was the truffle ham dish which was very high quality, especially with the amount of actual truffles in the dish. Personally, I did not like the foie gras because it tasted very "cat food" ish to me, even though I've lived here for 6 months before, it's still something I haven't gotten fond of. The steak & veal were fine, but nothing amazing. The biggest selling point for us was the view! They allow you to leave your table to take pictures & the photos are well worth it! Service was fantastic, except that they did not want to take our 500 euro bill for our meal which was almost 400 euro. We ended up waiting an hour for them to get sufficient change for it which would have been ridiculous, but at least we got a lovely view while waiting. However, be aware, like most French restaurants, the service is good, but you won't be out of there in much less than 3 hours so plan accordingly! read more

Beautiful view, good service, however, the food is meant to be high-end in order to justify the price; it's not. It's a pre-fixed menu and the dishes have visual appeal, but two of my courses were actually inedible - the roasted artichoke was so tough and dry you couldn't chew it let alone swallow it. The fish was overcooked and the texture of rubber. Unbelievably horrible. I think they cater to tourists who go for the view of the Eiffel Tower and they assume we don't know what good food tastes like. It's a shame, the view is nice of the ET, but that is really it. read more

I can't say enough nice things about this restaurant. First the hostess what very nice when we arrived. We decided on the 6 course set menu and everything was amazing. I was plenty full by the end. The wine selection was amazing. I don't think you can get a better view of the Eiffel Tower at night with such a tasty dinner. We arrived at 9:15 and stayed until close. We appreciated our server the most he was very nice and offered to take pictures of us outside in front of the Eiffel Tower. If your looking for a romantic dinner date in Paris look no further. read more

The view and overall atmosphere is wonderful, the staff is very friendly and service attentive. The food was a mix for me, several dishes came with a jarringly out of place element such as pickled kumquat in both savory and sweet occasions. I'm very open to new flavor combinations but I ended up leaving the odd bits on the plate. I loved the amuse buche and appetizers. The main pasta dish that I ordered would have been quite boring so I'm glad that I paid the extra €€ to have the shaved truffle added. read more

First night in Paris. We did the tasting menu which I would recommend if this is your first time here. The food tasted great but I will admit it was not the best food we had in Paris, but still very good. Our reservations were for 7pm but for some reason I thought they were at 8. We still were seated immediately with a great view of the Eiffel tower. It was summer here in Paris so it did not get dark until about 11pm. Since we had the tasting menu our dinner was about 3 hours long so just as we were finishing desert the light show started on the tower. They have an outside rooftop patio with couches and chairs and we had a perfect unobstructed view of the tower. This was a great kickoff dinner to our first night in Paris. read more

The service and view are spectacular. It stops there. The food was average and pretentious. Everything is a set menu here starting at €128 per person with five small courses. The amuse-bouche of fish was good, along with the first course of octopus ragu with brioche. The subsequent courses were forgettable. Beet salad, palate cleanser (buddha's arm/grapefruit sorbet/granita), sea bream, and chocolate mousse. Go here for the Eiffel tower view. read more

The best part of our meal was the view which was spectacular. The worst part of our meal was the food. The meal as a whole had absolutely no flavor. The pigeon and the fish were equally bland. Our expectations were too high for the caliber of the food. It was a sad experience for our first trip to Paris. The servers were I am happy to say the bright spot of the restaurant beside the Eiffel Tower. read more

Great view, but subpar food and service. I found the folks at Giraffe to be much friendlier, so I'd recommend going there instead for Eiffel Tower views. The menu also isn't pre-fixe, so there's more optionality. read more

The food was amazing in Les Ombres. I see negative reviews and I beg to defer. The venue is absolutely stunning. The Eiffel Tower of course is the star of the show but the fact that the balcony is open for photo opportunities is amazing. The service was top tier, the quality you would expect for this not so cheap venue. read more

My wife and I ate here a couple of weeks ago. The food was okay. I feel that too much energy was put into the plating and attempting to make unusual foods taste good instead of making the food taste good. The service was great! The staff provided the correct balance of attention and privacy. The view from the restaurant is very good! read more

Below is the breakdown for this review View/Ambience: 5 The view and Ambience was amazing here. It was very romantic and dim lit inside to set a romantic atmosphere and you can get a direct view of the Eiffel Tower and at night the light show of the towers are amazing. You are also able to walk around outside and there are really great spots that aren't marked off so you can get amazing pictures of the Eiffel Tower. If you are looking for a place just for views i would definitely recommend this place! Food Quality: 3 The food is pricey which is expected given the views but it definitely was not worth the expensive price. We got the Filet €48, and the Salmon €36. It looked very nice but it lacked flavor. The salmon was better than the filet but they both just seemed like they were missing flavor. The pear dessert and the lemon tart however were very tasty and very good. Service: 3.5 The waiter was very nice and helpful but the timing in how quick they get to you could have been better. They didn't stop by much to check on us and it took quite a while to get to us on a relatively slower night but maybe he was just busy with a larger table. All in all if you are looking for a place for dinner with amazing views but are willing to sacrifice the food for average food this place will work. read more

Let me start off by saying that the view of the Eiffel Tower is spectacular. We dined at night and I must tell you it was breathtaking, the restaurant is located on top floor of a building that's relatively close to the Eiffel Tower. The walls and roof are made out of glass, therefore you can see the tower in all her glory at night. Especially, at night when it lights up every hour on the hour. There is a terrace section outside perfect for picture taking. The service is above average and what you would expect from Parisian fine dining. The servers and waiters were professional and knowledgeable of the courses offered and bilingual which was a plus. The food... Ravioles de tourteau, this one might be my fault for ordering or maybe not asking our waiter about our dish but was totally not what I expected. I expected some type of a warm pasta, however the end result was much different. There was pasta, but not what I envisioned. The appetizer came with two flat cube shaped pastas (think of a ravioli square before it's folded) with crab prepared with an array of species a brothel, served on the cool/room temperature side. The crab it self was tasty but I did not enjoy this dish. I did not like the texture of the pasta nor the fact that it was not served warm. It was more of a soup than what I expected. Filet, this I enjoyed! Wasn't the best I had but it was very good. Cooked perfectly on the inside and crusted well on the side and on top. The particular cut was not only cooked perfectly but was very flavorful as well. One thing I also observed was the bread they passed was not warm, it was a bit rough to bite into which is a turn off for me. I would rate the restaurant based on my experience a 3.5 .... the views and service are elite but other than the filet I really didn't like the appetizer or bread experience. read more

What a beautiful ambiance! The weather was perfect so we had a crystal clear view of the Eiffel Tower outside the window. Even if you're not sitting right by the window, you can appreciate the view. We came here for lunch and I had the set lunch menu for 42€. I felt this was good value with high quality food. Started off with a small pastry with goat cheese mousse that, while not warm, was absolutely delicious. I loved my main course of pork with rice and their classic Paris dessert was fluffy and creamy. My one star off is for their service, which wasn't always efficient, and the pacing of the meal. The starter came out very quickly but there was a long gap before we received our main courses. Our waiter was very nice, I just had to flag him down a couple times since there he'd be away for long stretches. After the meal, all the guests would take photos on their large terrace since the Eiffel Tower was such a lovely backdrop. Perfect photo-op! read more

Great location for admiring Eiffel Tower. Can here for Valentine's Day celebration. We were lucky that weather was warm enough that we can actually go outside and snap some pictures with the Eiffel Tower right behind us. Service was great, food was meh~ but to be honest, we weren't really there for the food anyway. It's mostly for the view, lol we had the duck breast, it was good, but nothing special. read more

Visiting Les Ombres was on our must do list while in Paris. Reservations were booked for 7pm, and we were the first guests to arrive. The hostess greeted us and was very friendly inviting us to go outside on the balcony and take pictures. Great idea! Afterwards we were seated at a great table with the view of the tower. Very romantic! Our waiter was very pleasant, and was bilingual (french/english), and was all around happy. We were served complimentary pita chips with what tasted like a cream cheese dip, sprinkled with chives and oil. Very good. The hubby got the 3 course four 65 euros: asparagus soup, scallop curry and the crousti-fondant chocolate sorbet, which was amazing! The desert especially was fantastic! I did not go with the 3 course, but opted for the salmon dish with artichokes and truffles. Absolutely amazing! Bread was served complimentary with the meals. We were also served what tasted like creme brule bites after desert which was also complimentary. Service was fantastic, bottle service was great, and our server was pretty fast at topping up our glasses. Washrooms were nice. The only downside of the night was waiting for the bill. We waited, and waited and waited, and waited... Tip, ask for the bill when they bring you desert if you are in a rush to get somewhere after the meal. read more
