If you are looking for a treat while in Paris, you cannot go past the Penisula Hotel. It is the absolute essence of luxury dining in Paris and in our opinion, the Best Paris Lunch with an Eiffel Tower View! It is definitely one of the most romantic things to do in Paris for Couples.
Best Paris Lunch with an Eiffel Tower View
If you are looking for a restaurant with an eiffel tower view, then you simply cannot go past the Peninsula Hotel.
We dined in the stunning Le Lobby Restaurant for Lunch and headed upstairs afterwards to get some photos at L’oiseau Blanc Restaurant.
Best Restaurant Paris – Le Lobby Restaurant
Le Lobby Resturant is a stunning dining area at the Penninsula Hotel.
You will really feel like you have gone back in time dining here – a place fit for a princess!
The dining room has been decorated Belle Epoque era.
Le Lobby restaurant is famous in Paris for its absolutely delicious afternoon tea. As this is booked out many days in advance, we decided to dine at Le Lobby restaurant for lunch.
This proved to be a very wise decision as while the afternoon tea was fully booked, we had the beautiful restaurant virtually all to ourselves for Lunch.
The Lunch menu at Le Lobby restaurant includes the following selection:
- Chocolate, shortbread, praline and chcolate crisps – 24€
- The Peninsula apple “Tarte Tatin” with almond shortbread & whipped cream – 21€
- Exotic fruits with vanilla crispy biscuit & coconut mousse – 22€
- Vanilla mille-feuille with almond praline – 21€
- Crispy chocolate sphere with citron marmelade – 24€
- Fruit platter – 24€
- Elba with rose water, milk and saffron – 18€
All the meals we enjoyed at Le Lobby restaurant were each as absolutely delicious as the one before!
For starters we tried the Onion Soup & Prawn entree. Each were very delicious.
The Onion Soup came with a thick cheese topping. We were pleasantly surprised to discover it was served like a pie (much more appealing and appetising than a regular onion soup!)
For mains we both enjoyed the T-bone steak with thin fries. We were very happy to discover it was served exactly to our palette – medium rare rare as requested.
The steak absolutely melted in our mouth and would highly recommend it as a lunch selection if you are dining at Le Lobby restaurant.
Le Lobby restaurant is open for lunch between 12:00 pm – 2:30 pm and dinner from 7:00 pm – 10:30 pm.
Paris Restaurant with a View
The other restaurant in The Peninsula Hotel, L’oiseau Blanc Restaurant is one of the most popular restaurants in Paris and not without good reason – the views it boasts of the eiffel tower are second to none!
It is located on the 6th floor of the Peninsula hotel. Dubbed the most elegant restaurant in Paris, it has an amazing view of famous landmarks in Paris including the eiffel tower.
We didn’t dine at the restaurant because (again) it was very popular and completely booked out during the day of our visit however, we did take a look at the restaurant after our dining experience at Le Lobby and take a few beautiful snaps.
This restaurant serves very traditional French cuisine inspired by seasonal ingredients. The chefs at L’oiseau Blanc Restaurant change the menu weekly to keep it fresh and new for returning customers.
Outside the restaurant on the terrace balcony you will notice a old plane. This honours Charles Nungesser and François Coli, famous frenchmen who in 1927 attempted to cross the Atlantic from Le Bourget.

Restaurant Proposal Idea Paris
The restaurants at the Peninsula Hotel would be the ideal restaurant proposal idea while in Paris. Paris is of course one of the best places in the world to propose so why not go ahead and take the plunge while you are here.
There is a particular table at L’oiseau Blanc Restaurant which boasts panoramic views of the eiffel tower. You will need to request this table quite a while in advance. It is the most popular table in the restaurant.
Dining with the eiffel tower glistening behind you at night would be the perfect proposal idea while in Paris!
If you happen to do this, shoot us a line, we are hopeless romantics so we would love to hear your engagement story!
