The restaurants on the tower Eiffel

The restaurants on the tower Eiffel are on the first and second levels. The third or the top level's upper platform is an observation deck. It is 276 m (906 ft) above the ground – the highest observation deck accessible to the public in the European Union. Tickets can be purchased to ascend by stairs or lift (elevator) to the first and second levels. The climb from ground level to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the climb from the first level to the second. Although there is a staircase to the top level, it is usually only accessible by lift.
