Le Jules Verne, the restaurant on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower, requires an elegant outfit: no shorts and no sportswear, and suit jackets are mandatory for men. The rule appears on the restaurant's official page, checked on 11 November 2026, and the restaurant may refuse entry to guests who do not follow it.

Key facts

• Jules Verne dress code: an elegant outfit, no shorts and no sportswear (official restaurant page, checked on 11 November 2026).
• Men: a suit jacket is mandatory.
• The rule does not separate lunch from dinner: it applies to both services.
• In the evening, the Eiffel Tower restaurants' FAQ also excludes jogging suits, running shoes and flip-flops.
• If the dress code is not respected, the restaurant reserves the right to refuse access.

Jules Verne restaurant dress code for lunch and dinner

The Jules Verne dress code is the same at lunch and at dinner. The restaurant's official page states a single rule for every service: an elegant outfit, with short pants and sportswear not allowed. The French version of the same page asks for a "tenue correcte", a smart and tidy outfit.

The FAQ of the Eiffel Tower restaurants' website adds a detail for dinner: smart city wear is expected, and sportswear, jogging suits, running shoes and flip-flops are not allowed. That FAQ also covers Madame Brasserie, on the first floor. For Le Jules Verne, the reference rule remains the one on its own page, which applies at lunch and dinner.

Jacket required for men at Le Jules Verne

At Le Jules Verne, men must wear a jacket, at lunch as at dinner. The official page says that "suits jackets are mandatory for gentlemen". The French version uses the word "veste", a jacket.

The page does not mention a tie, so no written rule requires one. It does not mention jackets being lent at the door either. If you travel light, pack a jacket before you leave home, because the restaurant can refuse access.

Jules Verne dress code for women

Le Jules Verne sets no requirement specific to women. The general rule applies to every guest: an elegant outfit, with no shorts and no sportswear. In the evening, the Eiffel Tower restaurants' FAQ also excludes jogging suits, running shoes and flip-flops for everyone.

What is not allowed at Le Jules Verne

According to the official Jules Verne page and the website's FAQ, these outfits are not accepted:

• shorts, at lunch and at dinner;
• sportswear, at lunch and at dinner;
• for men, no jacket;
• in the evening, jogging suits, running shoes and flip-flops.

The restaurant's page ends by saying it reserves "the right to refuse access" when the dress code is not respected. Menu prices, the deposit and the cancellation terms are explained in our article on Le Jules Verne prices in 2026.
