If you like a more leisure way of admiring the Eiffel Tower,  book a table at Les Ombres, the rooftop restaurant of the Musée du Quai Branly. The restaurant has a glass ceiling. So while dining on French classics such as foie gras, oysters, and grilled steak, you can admire the beauty and architecture of the Eiffel Tower. The view is at its most magical at night, when the tower glows .

At dinner as a lot of restaurants in Paris it can be quiet expensive but there are excellent deals to be had at lunchtime . Or you can just head to the adjoining salon de thé to toast your savvy tourist skills with an alfresco flute of Champagne or a fine tea.

On the near Rue des Martyrs,  on walking distance from our Montmartre Studio Loft , is a simple but savoury restaurant. Don’t expect chic dining because the ambiance gives a feeling back to the 60-70’s with formica furniture. The food however is fresh and with excellent ingredients. They have a small wine list.

Le Cafe de la Paix  is undoubtedly one of the most popular in Paris. With its exquisite Second Empire style, it has forever been a favored hangout for celebrities and tourists alike. The leafy look combined with the rich decor of ornate work and deep polished wood creates an atmosphere of freshness blending with class.

You can drop in here for an early breakfast or a delayed supper as the cafe remains open till late in the night. During winter, you can dine alfresco at the winter terrace that overlooks the Boulevard des Capucines, while summer months see crowds filling in at the open air terrace that gives a great view of the Place de l’Opera.

While in paris, this is one destination you should not miss.
