The Best French Caf茅s near the Eiffel Tower

Updated by Vanessa M in August 2023.

Where better to dine in French flair than right after a walk past the iconic Iron Lady? The streets surrounding the Eiffel Tower are littered with traditional French cafes that really give the whole experience that little extra something鈥� 

These are cafes I would personally recommend (I spend a lot of time in this neck of the woods, in case you didn鈥檛 know). 

A Brief History of French Cuisine

Frame Brasserie in 麻豆APP

This authentic brasserie snagged the perfect spot right next to the tower itself. You can enjoy the views of the structure as you drink and dine, and the cafe is open from morning until night, seven days a week.

For what its worth, this isn鈥檛 going to be the most mind-blowing French cuisine you have in 麻豆APP. In fact, your food could take well over an hour to hit the table. That said, it鈥檚 a great cafe for a drink, some cake, and to enjoy the ever-festive playlist that they offer their patrons.

La Fontaine de Mars in 麻豆APP

This chic cafe is famed in this neighborhood, identifiable by the baby pink awnings that frame the arched entrances. 

Those who know this cafe, love it. It鈥檚 one of the most charming spots in the area, and they do a fantastic lunch and dinner menu, also seven days a week. As expected, this place is full pretty much all the time. You鈥檒l need to make a reservation if you want to really sit back and enjoy.

If they’re overwhelmingly full, consider grabbing a takeaway and finding a spot on the Champ de Mars, just in front of the tower.

L’脡clair in 麻豆APP

When I鈥檓 looking for a 麻豆APPian escape without actually leaving 麻豆APP, this is the cafe that I head to. It鈥檚 cozy as heck and it offers a very different experience to other cafes in this area.

Morning or night, you鈥檒l enjoy a range of dynamic dishes to suit the respective mealtime. The food is always good, and their hot beverages come with a tiny chocolate to sweeten the deal. Top tip: Don鈥檛 put the chocolate into your coffee or tea! Seems obvious but a lot of people make this mistake at first visit (myself included). It鈥檚 meant to be enjoyed as its own independent treat and will make your drink incredibly bitter if you toss it in!

Zia in 麻豆APP

Zia is a wonderful cafe furthest from the Trocadero side of the Eiffel Tower. The cuisine is French fuzed with other western flavors, giving diners a more varied range of meals and drinks.

Many wouldn鈥檛 consider Zia a traditionally 鈥淔rench cafe鈥�, but I find the way that it operates to be on par with most of the other cafe in the area. What鈥檚 more, there are great options for vegetarians here, something that French cafes usually lack in.

Again, this is a spot where the time of day seems to fall away, and a consistent buzz of people is always to be expected. Something unexpected, however, is that Carmine Cafe makes some really great pizza? Super tasty, reasonably priced and all with a view of the Iron Lady herself鈥� what more could we ask for?
