Afterwards we rushed back into the city to go up the Eiffel Tower.
-
-
-
As a birthday treat, Tom had booked us a table at 58 Tour Eiffel for dinner.
-
-
-
The restaurant is on the first floor of the tower with a gorgeous view over the Seine.
-
-
-
To start I had the spiced prawns with avocado, pomelo, lettuce and black sesame.
-
-
Tom had the beech smoked salmon with fromage blanc, ginger and yuzu.
-
-
For my main course I had sea bream served on spelt risotto with butternut squash and champagne sauce.
-
-
Tom had cod with olives, cauliflower mousse, butter sauce and smoked soy.
-
-
Before dessert Tom surprised me with the perfect birthday present, a gorgeous Eiffel Tower charm from Tiffany.
-
-
For dessert, I had the chocolate Crousti Eiffel with a chocolate brownie and cream.
-
-
Tom had the profiterole with ice cream and hot chocolate sauce.
-
-
We pressed a penny after dinner and then it was time to go all the way back to the base, collect our press passes and head back to the top.
-
-
We got to take the service elevator which meant no queueing and it zipped us up to the top so quickly, which was perfect as we were racing sunset.
