Tour d'Argent

Ratings and reviews, location and contact, michelin guide's point of view.

We choose Tour d'Argent as we were looking for a Michelin Star lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Through much research we found this is one of the only Michelin restaurants in the city to offer service on a weekend afternoon. First of all, the setting... is incredible, amazing panaromic views from 6 floors up, stunning decor in classic french style. We choose the lunch menu and tried most dishes between the two of us and although the starters weren't to our taste the duck and desserts were outstanding. Above the food though was the service, attentive, knowledgeable and highly professional without ever being pushy or in your face. The house wine was also a surprising highlight. More

What could I say about Tour d'Argent that hasn't been said before? I honestly don't know. We got its name as a personal recommendation and decided to give it a try. We had lunch on occasion of my birthday and it was truly one of... the most memorable meals I ever had. Everything from the food to the service and decor is top notch. And while this is probably a place where to go for best value for money, the experience even exceeded our expectations. On some other fine dining restaurants I've been to before they can be spartan with portions, but Tour d'Argent by contrast give you plenty! I would agree with other reviewers in saying the service is correct and not overly fussy. Well done to Tour d'Argent for keeping with its tradition and savoir-faire. More

From the moment we entered the restaurant to the moment we left no one could have made our night more special. The waiter helped choose the wine at a price that was suitable, we ordered the duck set menu which was fabulous the dessert was... so large we could not manage it all. Already saving for our next booking. More

One of the best meals my husband and I have had in 40 years of marriage. We dined here last week and are still spending of the experience. Our arrival was greeted by the pleasant doorman. We were taken up to the restaurant by elevator... and met by the Maitre’d, who sat us at a window side table, which was beautifully set. We enjoyed small nibbles with glasses of champagne which set the tone for the evening. The wine list as others have mentioned, is massive. I am in the wine business but deferred to the (native Boston!) sommelier’s suggestion of a Malbec to accompany the restaurant’s signature duck duo preparation (which was done table side). This was after a second amuse Bouche of zucchini flowers and appetizers of crab and foie gras. The first course is duck breast, and soufflé potatoes, served with the famous duck blood sauce. The second preparation is the leg accompanied by sausage served in pastry cups. As expected, all was exceptional. During the meal the owner stopped by our table to inquire if we were enjoying our evening - and we certainly were! Too bad our numbered duck card arrived too late for him to sign for us . We ended our meal with dessert (no room for the wonderful looking cheese cart course!), a chocolate creation for myself and the famous baba with champagne and berries for my husband. These were served with coffee and tea and more little dessert bites. Of course, this all comes at a premium ($900 US) but we felt it was worth every penny. More

We enjoyed a lunch from the set menu. To each course we had a glas of wine with perfect help from a helpful sommelier - she really knew her wines;-) Foie gras ravioli was divine and extremely rich in taste. The duckling served to perfection!... Desert with a superb taste of chocolate and full bodied coffee. The staff is impeccable in their job. Have to mention the view also; what better way to experience Paris than from the windows of this restaurant. Will be back! More

I have been wanting to go to this restaurant for many many years and have the experience of the canard presse. To be honest it was not all disappointing. We got the best table in the restaurant ( at least in our opinion ) The... second service of the duck was perfect The lady sommelier chose a very good red wine BUT From the beginning the waiters seemed as if there were / is a second service coming that evening and rushed us to order. Instead of looking from a distance the waiter came on frequent occasions sort of disturbing us. Bread crumbs on the table was not, until the very end removed from the table The first serving of "extras" was incredible dry and boring. The whole atmosphere of the duck being pressed in front of you was not there. In my opinion the most important part of the "show". I have been to at least a dozen of Michelin restaurants around the world and must say that "The Tour" has to step up the game to get stars. We left with an empty feeling both in our minds and in our stomach ( even the lady complained ) because where did the rest of the duck go ! More

After several trips to Paris and numerous Michelin starred meals, my husband and I decided to finally give Tour d’Argent a try, if only for posterity. We knew the building and location were magnificent, that the sense of history would be palpable, and that the... grandeur of the restaurant itself would be notable. But we weren’t expecting to be wowed by the food. In fact, the menu offerings sounded stiff and old fashioned —royal hare soup w/ foie gras ravioli, wild pike en croute, duckling, whiting with a brioche crust. Yet to our great delight, the dishes were each delicious and interesting, not overwhelming and heavy. The hare soup was especially memorable and the fish superb. On top of it all, the hospitality was extraordinary—not at all pretentious but energetic and warm. We are thrilled that we had this experience and thank the entire staff for their amazing work. It takes a lot of training and coordination to produce such perfection, century after century. More

I have wanted to try this restaurant out since I was a student in Paris in the 70s but never did the stars align to make it happen. Finally, on a recent trip, and scouting out a special place for my daughter's birthday, I managed... to organise a lunch for myself. First, of course, is the amazing perch over the Seine which directly faces the cathedral of Notre Dame; still impressive yet sobering to see the massive amount of work that will be required to make it whole again. Service was excellent all around, someone always there to do what is required, without really making their presence felt. A unique skill seen only in restaurants like this in France but seldom seen elsewhere. Sommelier's was from Boston but was very knowledgeable and most helpful to me in finding some off the run wines from the Jura and Savoie. Food was excellent though three courses and one finished feeling full but not bloated. I had two bottles of wine and the three course menu for 300 euros. I would certainly take my daughter there for her birthday, if only they were open in mid-August! More

Beautiful day and of course view. Yes the Tour is old school comfort and class, but it’s not stuffy. The service is friendly, attentive, not overdone and you can have a friendly chat. You have lots of room and elegance. The wine list is of... course legendary and you can have a really informed discussion with the sommelier and find mature wine in your price range which is rare these days. Including big names at less than retail prices. Amazing. We had the fixed price menu which is the best value and though the choice is small the quality is high. I found the olive tapenade on my Guinea fowl a bit too strong, but otherwise all good and the quenelles and desert were really delicious. We come here rarely but every time it’s a treat. More

Dreadful experience the minute we set foot in this renowned establishment with the Maitre d' refusing to give us a table in the middle when the restaurant was pretty empty: he insisted on sitting us at the very back (with zero view yet the same... extortionate prices!) on the basis that we had not booked several months ahead!! He was snooty and unhelpful. The food was nice but standard boring classical French, nothing to excite the pallet. The waiters were lovely but the atmosphere was zero except for some obsequious manager turning up to say Hi. "SURFAIT" is the word to describe this place, an expensive old-fashioned tourist-trap. Totally uncreative and unexciting food: the silver came out as pure theatre. None of the flair, ingenuity or sense of surprise of Marsan by Helene Darroze for example which is simply terrific. More

We made a reservation for lunch, with a glass of champagne and a tour at the cave included. Our lunch was amazing from the beginning to the end, in every detail. We took our two little daughters with us and we had no problems at... all with that. In fact, the made a different, simpler, menu for them, which was very kind. The service was very attentive and gentle. The food itself was great - we chose the lunch menu (105 euros per person) plus the cheese step (which I strongly recommend). The menu consists in some “amuse bouche”, the a starter (I had the Quenelles and my wife had the egg with mushrooms and truffle, both excellent), the main course (the duck, not the famous pressed one, but still delicious) and the dessert (we had chocolate pie, also very good). Besides the great food and the excellent service, the view from the restaurant is amazing. It’s not cheap, but worths every cent! More

Second visit to this marvelous restaurant! Andre Terrail and his team put on a marvelous display of virtuosity in service. As it was our last day of a 3 week trip to Europe, we over-committed ourselves and arrived quite tardy to the restaurant for our... lunch reservation (I did give the reception updates on our later than expected arrival time). The reception, appreciative of our communications, was kind. The young lady smiled, took our coats and whisked us upstairs to the dining room. The dining room reception was equally warm to our late arrival and then the show began. A fine ballet of wine stewards, front waiters and back waiters effortlessly took care of our every whim and need; discussing everything from menu, wine and desert options to the historial sites viewed from the floor-to-ceiling windows and general history of this temple of cuisine. The service was meticulous and thoughtful and, of course, was the food. Light, elegant and ephemeral flavors as well as rich and seductive flavors….food for the gods! Two of our guests asked for crepes suzette without alcohol and the team happily obliged…table side service of crepes was lovely with fresh juices and rinds of citrus fruit to substitute for the alcohol usually used. The cheers cart is one of the best in the world (you are in France, after all). To cap it all off, it was Three Kings Day, and the restaurant served all guests a portion of the obligatory Galette des Rois…a guest at another table was lucky enough to the find the “crown” in their piece of cake and was provided with a fun crown to wear at the end of their meal. So fun! This place does not skip a beat and deserves every accolade! Thank you! More

Most amazing restaurant. The service was excellent . . . From the young doorman that welcomed us on arrival to the greeting from owner André Terrail at the end of our meal. The location superb, with the Restuarant sitting on the banks of the Seine... with fabulous views towards Notre Dame. The whole meal was an amazing experience, especially the famous pressed duck. Seeing the crepes suzette flambé d by our table was pure magic especially the hand made ice cream. A truly memorable evening in Paris. Thank you More

I and two friends had Sunday lunch at the Tour d'Argent following the recommendation of some of our fellow students in a French immersion program in Tours, France. We enjoyed the view (right beside the window), the service (the sense of humor of our waiters... with our Franglais), and the food. The scallops were amazing and we appreciated the advice of the sommalier since the wine list was a large volume that weighed >15 lbs. We appreciated the warmth of the service and being able to spend several hours eating, drinking, and enjoying each others company. I hope to return on a future visit with my husband or other family members. More

Having heard so much about this restaurant, I was very much looking forward to the evening. Unfortunately however, from the first moments there, I saw that so much was lacking. Upon entering the restaurant 5 minutes before my reservation time, a woman at the door... told me to have a seat and she would get back to me soon. This took me by surprise, as she was not at all welcoming. the two of us sat in the bar lounge as we were told, and there we sat. % minutes passed, then 10 and even 15. No one ever came to us to offer us a drink, or even a glass of water. The game woman saw that I was gettin irritated, and she finally came over to say that she was having to take another group up to theta floor before because she had no where to put them. This seemed like a strange excuse for the delay of over 15 minutes. When she finally came to escort us to the elevator, she asked me what was wrong. I guess she cold tell by my face that I was not happy. I told her that I felt it was inexcusable to keep us waiting for so long, and her only response was that they take one party up the elevator at a time and that's "just how we do it." There was absolutely no apology at all. Then, we finally got to our table, and to add insult to injury, we sat at the table for 7 minus (yes, I counted) until someone finally came to take a drink order. The rest of the evening was filled with mishaps and lack of attention. The space is beautiful and the food was tasty, but the service is amateurish and I would simply not recommend spending $800 a couple for this restaurant. More

La Tour d'Argent

Paris, France

There's nothing more serious than pleasure. This axiom governed André Terrail when he took over La Tour d'Argent (The Sliver Tower) back in 1914. The philosophy is still in evidence today. Terrail's grandson André, who took over from his father Claude in 2006, is credited with bringing this more than 400-year-old establishment into the 21st century. Now the gallic gastronomy has a contemporary edge and is served in opulent surroundings overlooking the Seine. Drink it in, but don’t forget to save some space for sampling one of best wine lists in Paris.

Tour d'Argent

Notes et avis, emplacement et coordonnées, le point de vue du guide michelin.

Première visite dans cet établissement de haute gastronomie parisienne que nous savions prestigieux et ce choix fut déterminé pour célébrer 25 ans de mariage. Ce fut un moment de pur bonheur dans un cadre et un service d'excellence.

Tout a été parfait du début à la fin. Votre équipe a un comportement de service homogène et élevé quelque soit le rôle dévolu , ajoutant l’amabilité et la gentillesse. Nous avons aussi été conquis par la qualité du menu Renommées et sa créativité, soulignant... par ailleurs son bon équilibre et nous évitant de partir avec une sensation excessive de saturation. Notre table était plutôt bien placée même si pas au meilleur endroit, après avoir indiqué que nous avions choisi votre restaurant pour célébrer notre 40 ième anniversaire de mariage. En conclusion, nous avons passé un merveilleux moment chez vous grâce à votre niveau d’exigence et d’excellence. Félicitations ! Plus

Une légende, pour l'histoire et l'emplacement. Un déjeuner de qualité avec, entre autre, les tout aussi légendaires quenelles et cannetons.

expérience merveilleuse excellent dîner et service la table dans une position privilégiée .Je recommande vivement ce restaurant d'où l'on peut admirer Paris

Mon mari et moi sommes allés déjeuner pour la première fois à la Tour d'argent samedi dernier, grâce à la générosité de notre Père-Noël;-) Nous nous attendions à vivre un grand moment face à une vue splendide, bien sûr, mais nous avons surtout découvert un... lieu, à la fois hors du temps, et projeté dans un avenir au raffinement durable et au luxe intemporel et subtilement contemporain par son propriétaire et le talentueux architecte Franklin Azzi. Cet écrin, dans lequel on se sent instantanément infiniment bien, est habité par une équipe de très grands professionnels, dont les compétences sont toutes mises au service du client, sans aucune obséquiosité, et dans un climat de bonne humeur terriblement contagieuse. Les sourires sont sincères, chaque attention chaleureuse et touchante. Le chef est aussi sympathique qu'orfèvre de recettes certes traditionnelles, mais sublimées par la qualité des produits et de l'engagement d'une brigade qui fait des merveilles, ravit nos papilles et fait briller les yeux de ceux qui ne sont pas sottement blasés. Le sommelier est à la hauteur d'une carte des vins d'exception. Il sait percer à jour vos goûts et vous proposer, avec une justesse épatante, les flacons qui correspondent exactement à vos rêves, en respectant vos moyens. Quant au propriétaire des lieux, il nous est apparu parfaitement à la hauteur du mythe aux destinées desquelles il préside, à la mémoire de ses parents, qu'il entretient avec grand soin, et l'attention qu'il porte à ses clients comme à ses équipes nous a semblée tout à fait remarquable. Merci merci merci encore à tous de tout ce bonheur que vous offrez par votre formidable travail ! Chaque détail de ce moment restera gravé dans nos cœurs à jamais. Nous espérons que la vie, et notre travail à nous, nous offriront la chance de revenir, au coucher du soleil la prochaine fois. Plus

Parfait. Nouveau décor et carte très à propos. Tradition et modernité dans tous les domaines. Paris! Juste, peut être prévoir une version du caneton au sang pour trois, pour éviter une micro frustration d'un troisième convive.

Un lieu d’exception entre la décoration, la vue et la cuisine ouverte (nous avons été surpris des cuisiniers si discrets et professionnels, c’était un plaisir de les voir et de rencontrer le Chef!). Le repas en lui-même était exquis, j’ai pu me réconcilier avec certains... produits tels que les asperges (c’est à cela qu’on reconnaît un bon restaurant). Merci à vous pour l’entremet d’anniversaire ! Et enfin, le service !!!! C’est tellement difficile de trouver un réel service digne d’un restaurant étoilé. Très belle organisation. Un service fluide, chacun avait l’œil sur le suivi, ils étaient présents et agréables sans être trop envahissants. Une équipe chaleureuse, qui s’entend bien et qui sait vous mettre à l’aise ! Des découpes de canards à table, les crêpes flambées sous vos yeux, un vrai spectacle ! Un moment à la hauteur de nos espérances et plus encore !! Réputation plus que méritée. Mille mercis, nous avons hâte de pouvoir essayer le toit cet été !!! À bientôt. Plus

Tout était parfait ! L'accueil bienveillant, chaleureux et serviable qui est la signature de votre grande maison, le service de vos équipe toujours attentionné et efficace, la cuisine délicieuse, délicate, fraîche et vive, de très belles assiettes, les vins sublimes, sans oublier la rénovation, une... réussite dans laquelle vous avez su accorder le respect des lieux, la tradition et la modernité, tout est juste ! Bravo ! Plus

On est pas déçus, expérience enrichissante, calme luxe et volupté. Le lieu, la vue, la cuisine, le service, tout est à la hauteur de la réputation de cette maison.

Mythique adresse qui ouvre un brunch ! Alors nous nous sommes précipités... Ambiance feutrée et service efficace (sauf au vestiaire). Table bien écartées c'est appréciable. Public varié certains avec des ados. Un petit buffet dans la salle avec cheminée, et un plus grand au bar.... Tout est bon ! Malheureusement les "goinfres" des services précédents avaient dévoré toute la terrine au canard alors... On n' a pas pu goûter cette spécialité ! Attention tout de même le brunc se déroule au bar des Maillets en bas pas dans les étages avec vue. C'est peut être la principale déception ! Je crois que j'y retournerai !

Description

Community facilities.

It was in the 16th century that the first inn opened its doors at its current address at 15 quai de la Tournelle, a stone's throw from Notre Dame. Since then, the Tour d'Argent has maintained its reputation for fine dining and its famous signature dish, duck in blood .

Stone with a silvery sheen

On the banks of the Seine , an inn was opened in 1582, adjacent to the Château de la Tournelle, built of silvery stone. This was the birth of the Hostellerie de la Tour d'Argent, which has seen all the world’s luminaries pass through over the centuries: Mme de Sévigné , Tsar Alexander III, the King of Prussia, Bismarck and many others.

André Terrail bought the Tour d'Argent in 1911, and gave it its present appearance by raising the building in 1936. The restaurant was installed on the 6th floor, thus enjoying an unrestricted view of the Seine . A family business for three generations, the Tour d'Argent is now run by André Terrail, his grandson.

Reopening in 2023

More than a year after its closure for major renovation, the Tour d'Argent reopen its doors, responding to a double challenge: preserving the richness of its heritage while bringing its practice into the 21st century. Fans can rest assured that they will find all the fundamentals of the restaurant: the sumptuous wine cellar , the duck theatre, the exemplary service in the dining room and the cuisine of Chef Yannick Franques . Since his arrival at the Tour d'Argent in 2019, this Best Worker of France (MOF) reinterprets the great culinary classics with elegance and brio.

Around the Tour d'Argent

You can enjoy the excellence of the Tour d'Argent in three other establishments. At 19 quai de la Tournelle, you will find the Rôtisserie d'Argent a typical Parisian bistro where the dishes are cooked to the rhythm of the spit. At number 13, La Petite Épicerie de la Tour offers exceptional products that highlight the expertise of French artisans. A few metres away, in the rue du Cardinal Lemoine, Le Boulanger de la Tour makes organic breads, pure butter viennoiseries and pastries, such as the famous Tour d'Argent chocolate eclairs.

As soon as this historic Parisian restaurant — the flagship of French culinary arts in the Paris Region — reopens, lovers of good food will be able to enjoy the great classics and the new recipes on the menu.

Michelin guide’s point of view.

Established in 1582, this elegant restaurant on the banks of the Seine gained a new floor in the early 20C, and with it one of the best views of Paris's emblematic river and Notre Dame! Tour d'Argent has continued to move with the times: on the ground floor is the Bar des Maillets d'Argent – which harks back to 1930s Britain – with its snack menu and daily specials. The restaurant menu, revamped by chef and Meilleur Ouvrier de France Yannick Franques, draws on the neo-Classical heritage of several decades of French haute cuisine (with a particular emphasis on sauces); the perfectly honed service is as spectacular as ever. As for the extraordinary wine cellar, it is home to over 300 000 bottles. Above the restaurant, a new roof terrace is the ideal spot for a cocktail on a weekday evening or weekend afternoon.

I ate lunch at one of the oldest restaurants in Paris that's loved by royalty and world leaders, and the Michelin-starred meal transported me back in time

  • La Tour d'Argent claims to be the oldest restaurant in Paris, serving diners since 1582.
  • The restaurant is a Parisian institution, and was reportedly used as inspiration for " Ratatouille ."
  • I ate lunch in its dining room overlooking the Notre Dame and was enchanted by its service.

La Tour d'Argent claims to be the oldest restaurant in Paris, and has been serving diners since 1582.

tour d'argent carte

Translating as "the silver tower," La Tour d'Argent is a Paris fine-dining institution, and has been visited by everyone from King Henry IV, to Queen Elizabeth II , according to Time Out.

With a Michelin star — it previously had three until 1996, as noted on the Tour d'Argent website — the restaurant remains one of Paris' most revered destinations, steeped in history and tradition. 

However, its Michelin Guide demotion prompted the restaurant to announce its largest-ever renovations earlier this year, aiming to "bring the restaurant into the 21st century," according to the website.

Ahead of its nine-month closure in May, I went to eat lunch in its historic dining room.

The restaurant is located near the center of Paris, in the city's 5th Arrondissement.

tour d'argent carte

The building sits just beside the Seine river, and is about a 20-minute walk from major central train stations Gare de Lyon and Chatelet Les Halles.

The restaurant is so iconic, it was reportedly used as inspiration for the Pixar classic "Ratatouille."

tour d'argent carte

As the restaurant has been operating for so long without changing its classic ways, elements of it were used by the movie studio to help craft the image of the fictional restaurant "Gusteau's" , according to Lonely Planet.

When I first stepped inside the downstairs waiting area, it was like immediately being transported back a few centuries.

tour d'argent carte

From the preserved wooden paneling to the old cushioned furniture, it was clear from the start that this place was not going to be similar to any dining experience I've ever had.

While I've had the fortune of eating at a few fine-dining restaurants with Michelin stars, none of their interiors felt as traditional or classic as this.

From the downstairs area, we were escorted through a hallway toward a private elevator to the dining room on the sixth floor.

tour d'argent carte

The doorman and staff were quick to show us through the narrow hallway toward the elevator that would take us up to the dining room.

However, it very was easy to get distracted and slowed down by the decorations on the wall.

The walls leading up to the private elevator are lined with portraits and pictures of famous diners, including Queen Elizabeth II.

tour d'argent carte

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip visited the restaurant in 1948 as their first official trip outside the Commonwealth after marrying a few months prior, according to writer and historian Lauren Kiehna's blog, the Court Jeweller.

Other notable former patrons include US presidents and world leaders.

tour d'argent carte

Alongside Her Majesty, US presidents John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon could be spotted in photographs, as well as former USSR and Russian leaders Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin.

After taking the elevator to the sixth floor, I was immediately taken aback by the spectacular dining room.

tour d'argent carte

The floor and tables were all incredibly detailed, enhanced by the floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the room with natural light.

Everywhere you looked, blue and gold dominated the room, with tiny detailing on every surface.

I was surprised by the unimpeded views over Paris, including Notre Dame, which remains under reconstruction.

tour d'argent carte

Having been owned by the same family since 1911, the restaurant's dining room was moved up to the sixth floor to maximize its views over Paris in 1936 , according to Condé Nast Traveler. 

The sixth-floor room gives unparalleled views over the city and Notre Dame.

However, due to the fire that destroyed much of the cathedral , it remains mostly covered by scaffolding while they repair the building. This is on track for completion in 2024 , according to The New York Times.

At the table, we were first greeted with a huge silver plate, engraved with the restaurant's name.

tour d'argent carte

While impressive, it was shortly removed after we sat down, and was clearly just there to be decorative.

The menu items were the epitome of traditional French haute cuisine, or "high cooking," but mine didn't have any prices listed.

tour d'argent carte

Our menu was very traditional, including dishes like quenelles — a technique of creating perfect three-sided ovals — as well as hake and snails for starters. Mains included scallops or guinea fowl. 

It felt a little stereotypical to order snails in France, so I chose the hake. 

But since I didn't make the reservation, my menu didn't include a price. This was a deliberate decision implemented by the owner centuries ago, according to our waiter, due to social traditions at the time.

Our three-course set lunch menu was 105 euros at the time of visiting, or around $115. A six-course menu is also available for triple the price, as well as a la carte options with mains ranging from 95 euros to 125 euros each, or $100 to $130.  

While the food menu isn't extensive, the wine list is the opposite, weighing over 15 pounds, with over 320,000 bottles to choose from.

tour d'argent carte

The restaurant prides itself on its selection of wines, claiming to have one of "the most technically perfect cellars" in Paris, as noted on the Tour d'Argent website. 

The cellar is so prestigious and valuable, that while under German occupation during World War II, the owner flew across France for one night to brick up the entrance to protect its contents before flying back , according to Bonjour Paris.

The silver tower logo of the restaurant was on everything. It was even stamped on the butter.

tour d'argent carte

It's clear that the restaurant is very detail-oriented, as I struggled to find an item on the table that wasn't personalized with the logo and founding date.

Once we ordered the wine, it arrived with its own trolley and basket.

tour d'argent carte

Every element of service felt well-considered, with the smallest of touches helping to make the hospitality here extraordinary.

The wine basket is used for transportation up the dumb waiter from the cellar, where a worker located the bottle among the hundreds of thousands of bottles stored.

Each dish that arrived was a clear display of French fine-dining techniques.

tour d'argent carte

From the hake to the scallops, and chocolate souffle to finish, all dishes were made by chefs who were very technically proficient, with each dish beautifully presented, utilizing advanced techniques rarely seen outside of fine dining.

But despite all that, we weren't blown away by our meal.

On top of the decor, the dishes felt as though they'd also remained untouched since 1936. While that's often one of the key drawing points for visitors, I've eaten far more interesting meals for less money, such as wildly creative 20-course tasting menus that include Wagyu beef fat fudge.

However, I've never eaten anywhere with this level of high-quality service.

After lunch, a quick visit to the restaurant's attached bakery and deli was the perfect final touch.

tour d'argent carte

The separate bakery on the opposite corner of the building was only opened in 2016.

From the adjacent location, customers can now buy the bread used in the restaurant as well as a range of viennoiseries — leavened pastries such as croissants and pain au chocolat — according to the Tour d'Argent website.

You can also buy a range of items such as preserves and wines under the Tour d'Argent name.

tour d'argent carte

Browsing the shop after our meal was a perfect way to end the experience, and further demonstrated the attention and care the restaurant gives to its branding.

It's clear from our trip that the restaurant aims to provide a whole experience for its diners, as opposed to just providing a good meal.

Particularly in an age where service in fine dining restaurants seems to be becoming increasingly casual — which isn't a bad thing, in my opinion — this lunch was certainly a memorable one.

Despite service at the restaurant being faultless, I can see why they feel the need to modernize.

tour d'argent carte

My experience at La Tour d'Argent was one I'll never forget. I really enjoyed my time here as it gave me an insight into luxury I wouldn't be able to experience elsewhere.

As the restaurant closes to modernize itself and its menu, I can understand why. While I really enjoyed my lunch, the restaurant's devotion to upholding the past also seemed to limit the menu. 

It will be interesting to see how the restaurant plans to change while preserving itself, but I'm glad I came here when I did to get a once-in-a-lifetime taste of classic French luxury.

Paris and France by Oliver Gee

Tour d’Argent: The iconic Paris restaurant in 7 intriguing figures

tour d'argent carte

We’ve just had lunch at the iconic Paris restaurant, the Tour d’Argent. In short: It was the best dining experience I’ve ever had. And the new renovation job is excellent.

It was a four-course Michelin meal with a view over the Seine, the Notre Dame, and the rooftops of Paris. And it was two-and-a-half hours in Parisian heaven.

We’ve collected seven intriguing facts and figures about the restaurant, which are compiled below with some practical details for your own potential visit.

The Earful Tower podcast episode

In this episode, Lina and I will take you inside the famed restaurant and you’ll hear our thoughts as we dine.

We also discuss our thoughts on the renovation job from 2022/2023. Listen below or wherever you get your podcasts, and scroll down for the facts about the restaurant.

1) 1582: The year the Tour d’Argent was built

tour d'argent carte

The first incarnation of la Tour d’Argent opened in 1582 as an inn on the ground floor. The Tour d’Argent, meaning “the Silver Tower”, takes its name from from the glistening champenoise stone with which it was originally built.

In the 16th century, the restaurant catered toward royalty, aristocrats and nobility, providing a safe place for the elite to dine. Many Kings of France dined at the Tour d’Argent and legend has it was here that King Henry III first discovered a fork, which was at the time the latest sensation from Italy.

2) 1936: The year the Tour d’Argent moved upstairs

tour d'argent carte

In 1922, owner André Terrail purchased and merged buildings 15 and 17 on Quai de la Tournelle, which allowed him to add a new top floor. And so it was in 1936 that the restaurant shifted from the ground floor to the top, allowing a more contemporary design including those enormous bay windows for panoramic Paris views.

3) 16: Total months for the new renovation

tour d'argent carte

From April 2022 to August 2023 the Tour d’Argent had an extensive renovation. The project, led by interior designer Franklin Azzi, brought the restaurant into the 21st century.

The designers added a metallic, “kinetic ceiling”, a carpet inspired by the Seine, and expanded the kitchen into the dining room.

tour d'argent carte

Artist Antoine Carbonne added a modern fresco he called “Perle”, which depicts a medieval-inspired map of Paris that blurs the lines between fantasy and history.

tour d'argent carte

Down on the ground floor, where the original Tour d’Argent was located, is the Bar des Maillets d’Argent. Cafe by day and cocktail bar by night, the bar’s 1930s design pays homage to the last years the Tour d’Argent was located here. Perched on the very top floor is the Tour d’Argent’s bar Le Toit de la Tour , which is a reservation-only rooftop bar .

tour d'argent carte

4) 1,179,385: The number of the duck we had

tour d'argent carte

In 1890 Frédéric Delair codified the recipe for canard au sang (pressed duck), which specified preparation, sauce and service. To maintain the recipe’s longevity he decided to start numbering the ducks served. To this day, the restaurant gives clients an embossed card recording which number duck they received. We shared duck number 1,179,385.

5) 300,000: The number of wine bottles in the cellar

tour d'argent carte

The Tour d’Argent is famous for having one of the largest wine collections in the world. The cellar, guarded around the clock, contains more than 300,000 bottles – with some of the bottles dating back to the 18th century. Of those wines, about 15,000 are offered to diners in the 5kg, 400-page “anthology wine bible”.

Safe to say, we’re not wine connoisseurs. When we spoke about the wine list on the podcast, we admitted to being “first pagers”, and were more than happy to go with the recommendations of the sommelier.

6) €150: Cost for one lunch at the Tour d’Argent

tour d'argent carte

There is certainly a sliding scales of prices at the Tour d’Argent. For €150 (160USD and 250AUD) per person, you can have the four-course lunch (drinks not included). On the other end of the scale is the nine course tasting menu for dinner priced at €1,582 (1,680USD and 2650AUD).

Our four course lunch included scallops, sea bass, roasted duckling, and clementine meringue ( see the November menu here ). Quite simply: It was the best dining experience of my life. Pure excellence from chef Yannick Franques. You can hear more about the food in the podcast episode.

tour d'argent carte

7) 1: The number of Michelin stars for the Tour d’Argent

tour d'argent carte

The Tour d’Argent was once the proud owner of 3 Michelin stars, but lost one in 1996, and another in 2006. In recent years they have been on a mission to reclaim their stars.

Practical details for the Tour d’Argent
