Girafe Restaurant Paris Reviews
Delightful
Treating the staff well who are trying to please you is the key to excellent service. We were there on the same day as some of the negative reviews and I’m guessing had the same server who did not disappoint. I must avoid certain ingredients and he walked me through the menu. The sea bream ceviche was delicious! We all enjoyed our selections and would definitely return.
Food with a view!!
Amazing venue not only for its Eiffel Tower view but for its food and service. It was a fabulous personal and gastronomic evening. Service was exemplary.
Worst Restaurant of Paris!!!
This restaurant came highly recommended by two sets of friends both who were there years ago. Due to rain in the afternoon but not evening… nor was any predicted they allowed no one outside for pictures and claimed they had no key. We came with a reservation card from a 5 star hotel and were told we could not sit at certain tables as we were not a party of three. Although ten seconds later they filled those tables with parties of two. The food was horrible and inedible. The oysters and lobster were tasteless as appetizers. The cod was soaked in crème and it never stated it was in crème. When the manager noticed that I didn’t eat my meal she asked why. We politely told her our view point… she never offered to take anything off the bill or have dessert or coffee on the house. Ironically our driver to the restaurant told us not to go because all her clients give negative feedback. The problem is you need to guarantee it on a credit card. In conclusion take this restaurant off your list!
The food was tasteless and staff was not good !
By far the worst meal and service as I was very disappointed after hearing such wonderful comments . I would not recommend!
Terrible experience
We came to Girafe to celebrate getting engaged — a really important night for us — and left feeling completely disappointed and disrespected. When we arrived, we were happy. The host greeted us and congratulated us after we shared that we’d just gotten engaged. He said he’d tell the staff so they’d make it a special evening. That never happened. We were ignored for a long time — our order was taken last, even though other tables who arrived after us were served well before. It felt like the staff cared more about how people were dressed than how they were treated. If you’re wearing designer clothes or expensive accessories, apparently you get better service. If not, you’re invisible. When the food finally came, the wine arrived with the dishes instead of before, which already showed how little attention was being paid. Then our steak orders were mixed up, and the waiter just swapped our plates between us without asking. At no point did anyone check on us or ask if we wanted anything else. After the main course, the dessert menus were literally shoved into our hands without a word. We weren’t even asked — just handed the menus like an afterthought. It was honestly embarrassing and upsetting to spend such an important night in a place where we clearly didn’t matter. The food was very good, but service this poor completely kills any enjoyment. One staff member's dismissive, uninterested attitude ruined the whole evening for us. This was the first time in my life I didn’t leave a tip — and I didn’t feel the waiter deserved a single cent. We won’t be coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone expecting a decent level of service, especially for a special occasion.
A little overhyped
Went here with my mom and sister and September and we had a good experience. It was a beautiful sunny day and we sat outside on the terrace overlooking the Eiffel Tower. However food was very average and extremely overpriced. Our drinks came out melted everytime and we were basically drinking room temperature aperol spritz’s. Overhyped.
Beautiful meal with a view
The entree (king prawns) and main (octopus) were very good. The staff were very welcoming and accomodating which helped make this a special occasion for my wife’s birthday
If you're an American you're neglected and sent to a not so
If you're an American you're neglected and sent to a not so good table. If you ask 3X's for water it finally comes with your entre. If your a party of two Americans you can not sit at a better table with a view. Food and service was a 4. I would not recommend at all.
The restaurant is located right outside the exit of the
The restaurant is located right outside the exit of the Metro station inside the building ( you can see the stairs to the building from the exit of the metro station; climb the stairs and straight inside you get to Girafe) and that kind of made it convenient though it took us a bit to get in there. Rain Gods went in full blaze and as a result the outside seating was closed though the inside seating is pretty well done and the interiors really make it standout. We ordered yellowtail sashimi, king prawn, crab salad and the Sea Bream ceviche. The salad and prawn seemed to taste ok though the rest of the dishes really stood out especially the ceviche with the sauce. You do get to see the Eiffel Tower in the background and that seems to be reflected in the bill as it turns out to be definitely on the higher side ( much higher for food that is good not astonishing) with the food not necessarily being in the same league. ps: The toilets are located at the entrance to the restaurant ( take the stairs downstairs and turn right) where a flight of stairs takes you to them.
DO NOT COME HERE, STAFF DISCRIMINATES VERY UNCOMFORTABLE
DO NOT COME HERE, STAFF DISCRIMINATES VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DINING EXPERIENCE I booked this reservation weeks ago for the patio and it started raining during the time of our reservation. When we arrived I asked for a table close to the window for a view (there were SEVERAL) and they said no we cannot seat you there it is for parties of 3 or 4. They then sat us in the very back of the restaurant, yet they sat other parties of 2 in the tables I initially requested. We ordered water at least 4xs with our waiter and he never brought it. Then we just ordered some appetizers because we were still somewhat full from breakfast. Our waiter told management and they came over to tell us we needed to order more food due to a requirement they have. It never said that when I booked the reservation. Also, why didn't the waiter just inform us? It felt like the police came over to scold us. For being such a high-end restaurant they couldn't even manage to get us water until after our food arrived. -Food was mediocre. -Overall staff were extremely rude. We were definitely discriminated against based on how we were treated -Awful dinning experience.
I rarely leave negative reviews, but this place truly
I rarely leave negative reviews, but this place truly deserves it. The service is terrible, the hosts are extremely rude, and the overall experience was disappointing. The only positive is that if -- and that's a big if -- you manage to get a good table, you'll have a nice view of the Eiffel Tower. Unfortunately, the food is mediocre and bland. You'll find much better quality at a regular Parisian café, and this restaurant definitely does not deserve the hype or attention it gets. It feels like a classic tourist trap designed to lure you in with the view while delivering subpar dining. My advice: stay away. It could ruin your whole afternoon in Paris. Watch the Eiffel Tower from somewhere else -- and go enjoy a truly good meal elsewhere.
Originally, we booked this for the view of the Eiffel Tower
Originally, we booked this for the view of the Eiffel Tower during dinner. However, our table had a bit of an obstructed view because of the statue that was blocking the Eiffel Tower. Granted, you can still see the Eiffel Tower if you move to the edge of your table, but it's off to the side while seated. So, if you're expecting to take pictures at the table with the Eiffel Tower in the background, make sure to ask the hostess not to seat you at the 2 middle tables. The food was just OK. We had the seafood platter, a salad and fish. My favorite was the side of truffle linguine. The drinks were amazing and I definitely recommend the pomegranate pornstar martini, as it seems to be the drink to get in Paris. Overall, the place is a bit pricey for the food being OK, but we still had a great time.
Very disappointed.
Average food, table with no view of the Eiffel Tower. Competent server, but stiff, unfriendly management staff. Rather spend my money at LuoLuo...no view, but better food.
We had a lovely dinner at Girafe! Unfortunately it had
We had a lovely dinner at Girafe! Unfortunately it had rained earlier in the day, so they closed all outdoor dining. Everyone was seated inside. Of course we were disappointed since the whole point here is to be seated on the terrace with an amazing view of the Eiffel tower. The waitress let us know that there are something like 80 seats outside, but only 60 inside so they don't risk rain and then not being able to move everyone inside. It makes sense, but was still disappointing. Besides that we had an amazing dinner. Our server was super friendly and great at explaining the menu. The champagne of course was spot on as were her wine recs. We took her suggestions and started with the shrimp and cauliflower, both were super flavorful and delicious. For the main we went with the sea bass for two and it was melt in your mouth awesome. Unfortunately it still had some bones in it, but that is the risk you always take with whole fish. This was one of the only restaurants that suggested the automatic 20% tip like they do in the US. Even without the view, we still thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Girafe.
The rudest, snobbiest tourist place in town.
They have you line up like sardines waiting to board an aircraft at your reservation time to check in. Clientele consists of tourists with sneakers and backpacks
The view is amazing.
Definitely a tourist trap as one of only 3 times requested to tip in Paris over a week long visit. The food and service were good but our most expensive meal and definitely not better than restaurants that do not ask for a tip in a nontipping culture. Next time I will definitely look for a more true Paris experience with the same beautiful view. Seemed very over rated.
One of the best dinning experience I have ever had in
One of the best dinning experience I have ever had in Paris, France. We made advance reservations prior to my trip. And I was excited to dine here with my friend who recently moved to Paris, France and I came for a visit. when we arrived we were greeted warmly with such elegance. The place is beautiful, with elegant design and architectture with the gorgeous view of the tour de Eiffel. We elected to dine outdoors and was escorted nicely to our table. Our servers greeted us with smiles and explained the menu. We were immediately served some water and bread & butter. We elected to order a couple of cocktails and a few delicious items from their menu for our appetizer and entree... please view the photos because I cannot even put it into words how amazing it was! It was mind blowing tastes and freshness. Overall, we had the most wonderful time enjoying our drinks, food, conversations and the ambiance of this place is phenomenal. I will not hesitate to dine here again. Highly recommend!!!
great view, nothing more.
We have mixed feelings when we think about our visit to the Girafe. We were really looking forward to the evening. Booked for 19:00. They made all the guests wait outside in the rain instead of letting them into the huge entrance hall. Dress code tip: it's like sitting in the front row next to Anna Winthour at Fashion Week. The ladies are all wearing Cartier and Rolex paid for by the sugar daddies. The food is delicious, but disproportionately expensive. When the waiter realised that we weren't consuming for €1000+ we weren't treated as attentively. We were denied access to the terrace even though there was enough space. Conclusion: great view, nothing more.
Overpriced and no guarantee of a view of the Eiffel Tower
Overall an extremely disappointing visit. This was such a shame as people had recommended this restaurant to us. We have visited Paris so many times before and not tried it. We booked weeks in advance to ensure a booking. It is almost impossible to get hold of the restaurant. We emailed several times, attempted online and eventually after 10 phone calls (waiting on hold for 15 minutes without success most times) we got a booking. So it was disappointing that when we arrived to the restaurant we were given arguably the worst table in the place. Right next to the entrance steps where waiters and customers are constantly walking past. It was also next to a storage area for dirty plates and eaten food. Worst of all, it is sat behind the giant statue which completely obscures the view of the Eiffel Tower. The main reason for visiting this restaurant is the view. We asked to move and the staff half heartedly ‘tried’ to find us another table. What was interesting was there was at least 20 tables spare. These tables remained empty for the entire duration we were at the restaurant of over 2 hours, yet we were told the restaurant was ‘fully booked’. We were moved to the second worst table in the restaurant. The furthest table away from any view, tucked into a corner with little room for 4 people. (again with so many spacious tables remaining empty) We would like to mention that several customers arriving also requested to move tables and were given new ones straight away. We expressed our desire to move somewhere with a better view to the front desk, Waiter and manager. But nothing was done to accommodate this. Just told again that they are fully booked. Our Waitor was friendly and drinks and food were served quickly after ordering. We went for the beef fillet, lobster linguine and prawns starter. The food was excellent. Quite over priced for what it was, but you’re paying to seat opposite the Eiffel Tower. Upon finishing our mains and considering desert, we noticed that still 20 tables remained empty after 2 hours. We again requested with our waiter to move, so we could enjoy desert and further drinks with a view, and the waiter now put this request to the manager. It was upon speaking to the manager where we decided to take our custom elsewhere. I don’t think we have ever visited an establishment where the manager could not be any less interested in accommodating customers or having a cafe for their happiness. He completely dismissed our request informing us that ‘all tables had no view’ and no table was better than another. He told us it was difficult to move people but we stated immediately how a table of family that arrived after us were able to move and then changed his defence to ‘all the umbrellas are up’ so noone has a view, if you want a view then come in the evening when the umbrellas are down. The manager was rude and didn’t care that we were unhappy. He asked us if we would like desert and we told him we will leave and go somewhere else. At this answer, you’d expect most high priced establishments to then apologise and attempt to correct the unhappiness - common in most major cities. But this was accepted and he immediately left without care. Overall not worth the money, no way to get a table with a view of the Eiffel Tower (Even if you book weeks in advance) and let down by rude and un-accommodating staff. Save your money and book somewhere else. We sadly won’t be returning.
Very Disappointing Experience
My friends, if you want to sit at Girafe and not LA SUITE GIRAFE (4th floor), please INSIST at the entrance, EVEN IF you have a reservation at Girafe. Here's what happened to us: We booked a table for 4 at Girafe restaurant (see photo 1), but upon arrival, we were told that we could only get a table at La Suite because Girafe was fully booked, despite our reservation (???). Understandably, we were very confused. When we asked the restaurant for an explanation, the managers were very impatient and, dare I say, quite arrogant. It was clear to us that they had no respect for us and did not care about tourists (yes, we couldn't speak French). One of the staff even said, "do not insult my colleague, she was crying when she called me" - which was a blatant lie. The truth is, we didn't insult her at all, and her colleagues were laughing at my mom, who couldn't speak perfect English. To clarify, I specifically made a reservation at Girafe restaurant, not La Suite, as their website has separate booking pages for each (see photo 2 and photo 3). Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, and I urge you to double-check your reservation and insist on being seated where you booked.
Sub Par
The restaurant has a great view of the Eiffel Tower, but that’s about it. We were seated just before 10:00pm around 9:50pm but the food didn’t arrived until 11:05pm. The guests next to our table were seated after us but ate before us. The waiter recommended the sea bass, so we got that and the lamb. The manager came over and stated that the sea bass was the hang up in the kitchen, after the waiter apologised for the delay three times. After getting the meal to our table I thought the worst was over, but it continued as the lamb was cold (As it must have been prepared earlier and was awaiting the completion of the seabass). I mentioned the Lamb was cold the manager , took it back to the kitchen but it was still cold. At this point my spouse had completed her meal and I was just ready to leave at this point. Lancelot (waiter) was very Apologetic and did his best with the circumstances. The manager on duty could have troubleshooted the scenario better as he seemed unbothered..
Picture perfect atmosphere, delicious food and impeccable
Picture perfect atmosphere, delicious food and impeccable service. We enjoyed our time at Girafe so much but the real showstopper is the sparkling Eiffel Tower directly in front of us. No matter where you sit there's a front row view. Make sure you take the 10pm seating to get the full experience. You will not regret it!!
I had the most amazing time at this restaurant.
The service, our waiter, the view and ohhh my gosh, the food. So glad we made this our first dining experience in Paris. We had reservations for lunch and they couldn't be more accommodating. I honestly thought it was going to be one of those overhyped places that we just go to for the view, but they blew me away. The crab and avocado appetizer, the shrimp, the lobster pasta and the octopus, all spectacular. And that complimentary bread with smoked cod... delightful. Our waiter recommended a spritz for me which was perfect and even took pictures and videos of us. He was amazing. It's expensive but I would definitely go back. Loved it!
Not worth it
We went here for a late lunch and were seated at a table in the back which had no view at all. The food is incredibly expensive and the service was poor. There are tables with great views so if you’re seated there it would be much better. I’d give it a five for the views (but only if you’re seated a table with a view) a 3 for the food which are tiny portions, overpriced and not that great, and a 2 for the service.
Below Average
Beautiful view but the steaks are horrible as well as the waffle dessert. Service was fine but not stellar which is expect for the price. Definitely a tourist spot.
AWFUL AND RUDE
HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. We had made a reservation for dinner to see the eiffel tower while we were in paris for the weekend. At 5pm the day of our reservation they called and said they were cancelling our reservation due to rain. It was not raining at all and the weather app showed no indication of rain in the near future. When we asked them this they said they had “a radar” and knew it would rain even though no apps said this. They did not offer any chance to rebook us or accommodate us in any way. So so rude on the phone. -100/10 please please cancel this place.
I am writing this review to express my extreme
I am writing this review to express my extreme disappointment with Girafe's lack of responsiveness to reservation requests. I recently attempted to make a reservation for my wife's birthday dinner. I wanted to create a special evening for her, and Girafe had been highly recommended. Unfortunately, despite my efforts, I received no response from the restaurant. I tried contacting the restaurant through multiple channels: I tried contacting by email, phone, but received no response. I even sent a direct message via Instagram, hoping for a quicker response, but received no reply there either. If a reservation wasn't available on my preferred date, a simple response acknowledging my request and offering alternative options would have been greatly appreciated. This complete lack of communication was incredibly frustrating, especially considering the importance of the occasion. It left me feeling unimportant and disregarded as a potential customer. Due to the unresponsiveness, I was forced to make a last-minute reservation elsewhere, which took away from the element of surprise I had planned for my wife's birthday. I am truly disappointed with this experience and would strongly advise potential diners to consider the difficulty in securing a reservation before choosing Girafe.
A bit difficult to get into Girafe, they don't usually
A bit difficult to get into Girafe, they don't usually answer their calls or respond to emails or DMs, however hotels or associates can help you get the in. Girafe was beautiful, some of the best views of the effiel tower. Service was a bit slow however food was amazing. We ordered a bottle of champagne which was paired toast and some sort of delicious fish paste. For apps we started with Salmon Bellini which was incredibly fresh. With a creme fresh spread on a Bellini. For dinner we ordered the truffle linguine which was absolutely amazing. The octopus was perfectly cooked as well.
I had an incredible dinner at Girafe, thanks to Farrah,
I had an incredible dinner at Girafe, thanks to Farrah, Rinad and Giulianno. Delicious cocktail called the "Louvre" with Mezcal for that smoky taste. The sea bass was so delicious and of course I had to try the Chocolate Hazelnut Tarte. Not to mention the incredible view. Unique and beautiful dining experience!
We had great service and the food was really good.
I loved my salmon bowl and cocktail
Food was good but nothing over the top.
Seated inside due to rain which isn't a problem but they put a statue on the terrace that literally covers the Eiffel Tower view from the inside which was a bummer. There were huge rats running around in the terrace and we could see them the entire duration of our dinner because we were seated at a table next to the terrace glass doors. The server said it's due to all construction in the city preparing for the Olympics but we didn't see a single rat at any of the indoor or outdoor restaurants we went to. Wouldn't go back.
Was excited for this dinner, pics looked amazing on
Was excited for this dinner, pics looked amazing on instagram, the views outstanding as well. Everything may have been better if it didn't rain. They stated since I was a late reservation they would put me at the bar!!! It was a 10pm reservation, we were starving. Very disappointed in that, receptionist and waiter stated the terrace was closed due to rain. It hadn't rained in 6 hrs. Staff was short. A lot of people were pissed and left. Sitting in the make shift bar area, there were dishes stacked next to us, the group that sat next to us were talking to the waiter and told the waiter they weren't eating because they didn't want to pay that much money without a view, waiters response was this is a restaurant, you come for food not a view. No pre-communication about terrace being closed or short staffing and or over promising seating. Over heard the manager saying they have 300 seats outside and 200 inside. They weren't really good at trouble shooting this, argued with costumers instead of offering later reservations, it took a few minutes for the manger to offer this. The prices are inflated for tourist, food quality is ok. Got a recommendation for the tuna appetizers, it was slices of tuna with burnt ponzu sauce, it was good but not worth the money comparing to food back in the states. The burrata salad was awesome. We almost ordered 2. The fish looked amazing but we just weren't feeling that and kinda put off by our experience Service wasn't great for the money you Pay for a meal, it may have been they were overwhelmed by last minute seating but for €€€€ you should be a bit more attentive to the folks you are servicing.
Let me start with the good.
The truffle pasta was really good and so was my shirley temple (the only mocktail worth getting anywhere). The server was great. The issue here is the blonde girl at the hostess stand and the manager. The hostess insisted I didn't have a reservation, was rude and dismissive. When I pulled out my email confirmation she insisted the confirmation didn't go through. Escalated to manager. He found me a cozy spot at the bar, and even he got the same treatment from the hostess when inquiring. He didn't apologize for the inconvenience either. In what world does that happen? Hostess needs to be re-trained on hospitality. Once I got to my seat, there was a couple who had the exact same issue as I did, but a different hostess actually made arrangements for them at a restaurant down the street. They wanted a proper experience so they took her up on it. It was my first night in Paris and I was tired, so I was fine at the bar because I didn't feel like finding another spot to dine at that evening. Also, they conveniently do not answer the phone if you try to confirm yourself as a double check the evening before. I know because I tried. I also noticed that myself and the other couple who had the issue had the same ethnic background, and I'll leave it at that for now. Overall, I wouldn't return. Lots of improvements needed on the hospitality front
Tourist trap.
Avoid From the guy with a beard who seats you (I wish I got his name) to the poor service. Most of the tables don't have views. Below avg food. Just horrible experience. Tourist only! Paris has so many good places, don't waste your time there. You can't pay me to go there again.
We came for my daughter's birthday dinner.
My husband and I asked 4 times for well done steak. Steak came out bloody. We sent it back. Waiter asked if we need anything else and we declined. Because we had ordered so many other dishes we didn't need to remake the steak. He charged us for the steak anyway which is fine. We didn't complain. He brought the check and tossed it on our table. My kids asked for desert and he turned to me and he said I will not bring you desert because your husband is rude. My kids were afraid and started crying. Ruined my daughter's 16th birthday. We didn't even complain we kindly asked to send the steak back because it was bloody.
Lovely treat
I dined here with 10 other ladies. Food was delicious, fantastic drinks menu. Great options for one of my friends requiring gluten free. Good vegetarian option too. We received excellent, attentive service. The restaurant itself was lovely. I agree with some of the other comments about it being expensive, but you are in Paris over looking the Eiffel Tower. Overall a perfect treat on a girls weekend away
Horrible Place

located in the Trocadero across the Seine from the Tower.
The food is top quality and well presented. The wine selection is very good. This is not a place to check menu prices. be prepared to spend. the views of the tower are unsurpassed. The service is excellent and what one would expect for a restaurant of this caliber.
Nous sommes allés au restaurant lors de notre dernière
Nous sommes allés au restaurant lors de notre dernière soirée à Paris. La meilleure vue sur la Tour Eiffel, sans aucun doute. Le service est excellent, et la nourriture ainsi que les boissons étaient délicieuses. Une ambiance parfaite pour une soirée dans la ville de l'amour.
Great Food Greay view but pricey !!
Really enjoyed our meal here....atmosphere was good restaurant is very astetically pleasing on the eye with a great view of the Eiffle tower. waiting staff were polite and on the ball....food was fantastic we had the King prawns to start also the lobster ravioli with crab bisque then cod for main both tasty and would order again. The price is as you'd expect for the type of restaurant and its location but I don't mind paying it when food is good and service matches which it did on our visit
Awful
the stuff is arrogant and awful , food is nothing special and space for dinner is very toght and uncomfortable! i wouldnt reccomend only the view of terrace is fine
This place was amazing.
Not often do you find a restaurant close to a prime tourist location (aka Eiffel Tower) which has amazing food. This was it. It was it!!! Reminded me a lot of the NED in London. Amazing. So fancy. I didn't have a reservation but the hostess was so nice and got us bar seating. Same thing. Same view. Same good. The outside was closed during the winter so we didn't see the view of Eiffel Tower but the food was absolutely amazing. We hard the octopus and the truffle pasta. Soooooooo good and balanced and fresh. And my dirty martini was great too!!! I will def be coming back here when back to Paris!!!
Overrated: Lovely Food But Not Worth It
We visited Girafe after hearing about the stunning views of the Eiffel Tower. Be warned: they are more than 50% blocked by a statue so aren’t all that. Although the food which we ate was delicious, we paid a premium for the location and there ate definitely better spots in Paris. The service was not ideal either: we were very much rushed at the beginning, with the amuse bouche arriving at the same time as the starter, but us then having to ask for the main plates to be cleared as they’d been on the table so long. Also beware this restaurant is full of those wishing to get a photo for social media, who disrupt dinner by nudging into the corners near the view. We will not visit again and certainly wouldn’t recommend it.
I think some of the bad reviews are fake.
I bring clients here and dine with my Partner here frequently- in every season. If you are a tacky tourist who is only coming for the view just climb the tower. The view is a bonus. The restaurant is chic through and through. Sadly, Yelp reviews used to be reliable. It's become a forum for entitled low income earners Who think they are millionaire influencers.
For those who are planning to come duringbthe winter,
For those who are planning to come duringbthe winter, please note that the terrace is closed during the Winter. You will not have the gorgeous view of the Eiffel Tower while dining here between the months of December - February. I made the mistake of coming here in January and was seated inside. That was disappointment #1. I ordered the seafood platter for 49 euros. That platter STANK! Disappointment #2. The oysters smelled rotten. The shrimp meat was mushy and also smelled rotten. I addressed it with the host and he would not remove and refund me eventhough I only ate 1 oyster from the platter. Beef was chewy and seabass was way over cooked.
Was greatly disappointed in the overall service of our
Was greatly disappointed in the overall service of our waiter during our dinner on 11/14/23. We were out there celebrating our anniversary. He did not properly explain our menu when we saw him going in details with the menu at another table. We had stated that it was out Anniversary and there was no special note written or anything to our dinner. The food I have to say was excellent however If I am paying over $300 for a dinner you bet we deserve a great service as well. Because after all when I look back at our Anniversary day, the plans don't matter if we are left with feeling like we could have been treated better.
Location & views - this is 100% what you are going here for
Location & views - this is 100% what you are going here for and it is amazing. This was on our radar early in our trip planning process and reservations are both required and competitive. We ended up reaching out to our hotel concierge before our trip to ask if they'd be able to help and secured us a reservation at 10pm. I know - very late, but having a late lunch, a drink at our hotel bar and an Uber to watch the Eiffel Tower sparkle was worth it. Due to our late reservation, it wasn't super busy and we were able to be seated outside. As expected, other diners were also tourists and our staff, even though we opened with French, spoke English almost immediately. Service was quick and easy, but let down really came from the food. Nothing spectacular or flavorful here, in my opinion - I had the filet, my boyfriend ordered fish (believe catch of the day sort of offering), a side of mashed potatoes and green beans along with cocktails and wine. Some of the best meals of my life were had the two days before this in Paris.. **highlight of the night is the square directly outside / to the right of the restaurant looking at the tower. A lot of people sitting, enjoying the sparkling view while listening to live music in square TLDR: if you're looking for views & ambiance, book now. If you're in it for the food, I'd head elsewhere
The food was amazing.
This is one of the best restaurants we have been to in this area. Very nice view and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended?
The food was okay, nothing to write home about.
We went here with hopes of a beautiful view but unfortunately it was very windy so the patio was closed.
Girafe Restaurant Paris is worth the hype!
Not only will you be having an amazing meal at Girafe, but you'll also be enjoying it with the best view of the Eiffel Tower!! I'll be going back everytime I'm in Paris.

He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Girafe Restaurant Paris page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $5.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $5.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Girafe Restaurant Paris to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $5 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Girafe Restaurant Paris!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
