We can get a reservation for the Christmas week at the Jules Verne but not for a window seat. Does anyone know if the view is worthwhile from non-window seats? Would it be better to use the money for a great restaurant somewhere else? Any comments on the quality of the food?

My mom and I had lunch at Jules Verne last May. We were not at a window seat but 3 booths away and still thought it was fabulous. We really enjoyed our lunch- everything was fantastic! We were treated very well! Even though they say now that you can't have a window if you go I would call to confirm your reservation a couple days in advance and ask again, and again at the desk- it never hurts to ask! Here is a virtual tour so you can see the table placement. If you place the cursor on the picture and scroll to the right you can see the "booths" that I mentioned. We had the last one next to the wine buckets.

Might be nice if I sent you the tour link! Sorry!<BR><BR>http://www.tour-eiffel.fr/teiffel/to...les_verne.html

Wendy, Thank you! I will go for it.

Well worth it--you can still have a marvelous view.

Just ate there on Oct. 1st. They told us we couldn't have a window table either but we ended up with one anyway. The food is very good and IMHO the view is probably pretty spectacular wherever you sit. Go and enjoy yourselves!<BR><BR>David
