The Jules Verne Restaurant - Paris

A few months back before coming to Paris I managed to get us a booking at the The Jules Verne Restaurant which is in the Eiffel tower, it is very hard to get a booking and in the past it can take up to 8 months to get a booking, but they had been closed for renovations and didn't open again till Mid Dec and were not taking any bookings till Dec 1st, so luck me got in on the first day of bookings. Well what an experience, and for me is the high light of the trip, the service was unbelievable we had 3 waiters. And the food, I just can't explain the flavours. We decided that we would go the full menu and did the 10 course degustation. Our reservation was for 6.30pm and for the first 2 hours were pretty much the only ones in the restaurant and time just went so fast. The table had been set with the smallest knife and fork I had ever seen,
Mike was worried that the meal sizes where going to match, but he was very wrong. With 10 courses and all the fresh bread you could eat we did not go home hungry at all. The last 2 course were desert, the first one was a chocolate mouse and other treats,

and then there was a white chocolate and strawberry cake, the strawberries were so small, I had not seem anything like it before, and the flavour was out of this world

On the way out off the restaurant on the stairs down to the viewing area we got to see the kitchen in full swing, it is hard to believe that at 10.30 at night they are this busy
