Le Ciel de Paris Restaurant Review: Menu, Prices & Views

If you are looking for a venue to propose, celebrate an anniversary, or simply splurge on a magical evening, Le Ciel de Paris (The Sky of Paris) is a strong contender.

Located on the 56th floor of the Montparnasse Tower, this restaurant offers something the Jules Verne (at the Eiffel Tower) cannot: a view of the Eiffel Tower itself while you eat!

The Ambiance

Redesigned by architect Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance, the interior is futuristic and chic. The ceiling features strange, bubble-like mirrors reflecting the city lights, and huge bay windows offer the panoramic drama. The vibe is hushed, sophisticated, and distinctly Parisian. It is designed so that almost every table feels connected to the view.

The Food

The cuisine is contemporary French. Expect classics with a modern twist.

• Starters: Foie gras with chutney, fresh lobster salad, or seasonal veloutés.
• Mains: Turbot with champagne sauce, fillet of beef Rossini, or rack of lamb.
• Desserts: Their signature "Ciel de Paris" chocolate entremets is a favorite.

Pricing: It is expensive. Expect to pay €70-€100 per person for a 3-course meal without wine. Lunch menus are more affordable (around €40-€50).

The "Grand Ecran" Bar

If you don't want a full dinner, you can visit the bar area for champagne and cocktails.

• Pro Tip: You do not need a ticket to the Observation Deck to visit the restaurant or bar! You utilize a separate elevator reception. However, sipping a €20 cocktail here is often cheaper than buying an observation deck ticket + a drink elsewhere!

Is it Worth It?

Yes, for the view. You are paying a "view tax" on the food—the culinary experience is solid "good brasserie" level, but not Michelin-star mind-blowing. But when the lights of the Eiffel Tower sparkle while you sip your Pinot Noir, the price feels completely justified.

Booking Advice: Request a window table (table en bord de vitre) when booking, though they are rarely guaranteed. Book weeks in advance for dinner, especially on weekends.
