Jules verne restaurant

We%26#39;re thinking of going here for dinner in early April with our 11yr old daughter. How accepting are they of children? Does anyone know approximately the average price of a main meal. we%26#39;re not sure whether to go here or Altitude 95? Any suggestions? Ta

Without knowing your daughter it%26#39;s hard to say. If she%26#39;s the sort of young lady who likes to dress up, likes to try different foods, and likes acting %26quot;grown up%26quot; then she%26#39;ll love the experience and will gain a lot from it. If she%26#39;s more of a tomboy and doesn%26#39;t like %26quot;strange%26quot; food, then you%26#39;d probably be better off elsewhere.

I have not yet breached the barrier of haute cuisine with my girls because they find really long drawn-out meals more of a bore than a treat. If your child is more in that frame of mind, she may enjoy JV, but I%26#39;d recommend going at lunch when the meals are shorter and the prices lower.

My kids enjoy Alt. 95. The prices are considerably lower, but so is the quality of the cuisine. It isn%26#39;t bad, though, just not earth shattering. The seafood platter is exceptional and there is some thing magical about dinig with Paris at your feet.

We had lunch there, $250.00. I enjoyed every minute of it. The table next to us had a 5 year old and a 7 year old. They were French and adorable. It didn%26#39;t seem to be a problem. As for dress, I saw everything from jeans to suits.

Have a great time. I hear dinner is about $400 -$600 for 2. If you can afford it do it.

Well behaved and well-parented children will always be welcome in Parisian restaurants...and ill-behaved poorly parented chilrden will (unfortunately) be tolerated.

Le JULES VERNE offers bith Luncheon and Dinner prix fixe menus..as well as ala carte. These prices do NOT include beveragege or the 15% added gratuity. To help you to approximate the costs--

Please take a look at my Trip Report (just posted) about my trip with my 12 year old daughter. We did not eat at Jules Verne but we did eat at Altitude 95 and loved it. The food was very good and the views were spectacular! They have a children%26#39;s menu which indicates that they are accepting of children but they also have some delicious entrees on the adult menu that an 11 year old may appreciate. We intend to recommend the experience of dining at Altitude 95 to everyone we know who is visiting with a child (and even those who are visiting without children).

As for Jules Verne, my daughter is an adventuresome eater. She is not picky and dines with us in some of the better restaurants in New York City. Having said that, I am not sure that the exceptional quality of Jules Verne versus the good quality of Altitude 95 will be that distinguishable to an 11 year old. If you want to eat a Jules Verne because YOU want to enjoy that level of quality, then by all mean take your daughter. We have done this with our children and they have always enjoyed themselves. But if the purpose is to provide her with a memorable experience, in my opinion, I would save the extra money and dine at Altitude 95. Moms

Thank you everyone for replying to my question.Having only one child, my daughter is used to going out to restaurants with us. She is a bit of a picky eater though, so maybe Altitude 95 might be better. The main reason we want to eat at the Eiffel Tower is for the experience of the atmosphere, of course the quality/price etc of the food is important, but we really want to just enjoy the ambience and have a memorable experience. I gather from the posts that Altitude 95 is probably suitable for what we want. I probably should of said all of this before. Oh well.Having said that, should I book at Altitude 95 for dinner?

I would book as soon as possible. I was told by our hotel conceirge that there reservations must usually be booked three months in advance during the busy season. He told us that during the busy season you need to book Jules Verne a year in advance. We enjoyed lunch at Altitude 95 and were able to get a reservation on the day we wanted to dine. Granted we were in Paris on a weekday in January.

The children%26#39;s menu included a choice of chicken or ham with french green beans or french fries and a choice of vanilla ice cream or chocolate cake. I forget the price (maybe 12 Euros?) but it was reasonable for the view. The bread was delicious!

Have a great time! Enjoy! Moms

Thanks Moms. Can you make reservations online or do you have to phone?

I emailed Altitude 95 to ask the same question, you need to call them. Here is their reply:

Madam, Sir,

dish or main dish+dessert) and 27.70 euros (starter+main dish+dessert)

The prices quoted are interesting. We ordered off of a regular, ala carte menu. They did have a prix fix lunch menu but we were not required to order off of it.

I am glad to know that we must call the restaurant directly for a reservation. I will make sure to do that prior to our next visit, which I hope will be soon!
