    Well, what a memorable evening. Ambiance, breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower, food, service presentation. I could go on; however, the most impressive part of the evening might have been at the evening when there was trouble outside. Between the staff and security they kept us safe. When it was clear, the security escorted us to our taxi and even talked to the driver by phone to ensure we found him safely. Many thanks to the brave people associated with Cafe de l'homme.

    The view is spectacular. The staff was definitely struggling to keep up Unfortunately the filet mignon was not an actual cut and chewy. The lemon risotto was delicious. The view makes up for the oversights.

    Great View and Victor was great. Would comeback for the view and drinks only. Food looked great but lacked flavor and cohesion. The lobster starter looked amazing but lobster although chilled was still a bit tough. The beetroot ravioli did not have much flavor. The steak lacked seasoning for my taste. The Squid was good.
    Café de l'HommeResponded on October 6, 2026
    Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the view and that Victor helped make your experience a positive one; we will certainly pass on your kind words to him. However, we regret that the cuisine did not fully meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the lobster, beetroot ravioli, and steak are very valuable to us; we will share them with our kitchen team for careful review. We are glad you enjoyed the calamari dish. We are sorry that the flavors and seasoning fell short of your expectations. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a dining experience that is just as memorable as the view. Best regards, Café de l’Homme Team

    La información en la web no es completa, reservamos 23:00 y en seguida modificamos la reserva a las 22:00 pero no ponía en ninguna lugar que había que pagar otros 120€ (120€ ya los pagamos para la mesa y dos copas) así que como ya habíamos cenado tuvimos que esperar las 23:00. Personal a la entrada muy maleducado, primero los chicos de seguridad arrogantes se vé que están frustrados, (quizás por trabajar de noche y cobrar poco?) se agitan inútilmente y creen de poder dar ordenes y no saben hablar normalmente, de hecho los mandamos a la mierda y fuimos a hablar con la chica en reception. El lugar es precioso, un poco pequeño y pocas opciones en la carta a parte el alchol, no hay nada para acompañar las copas, solo dessert. El servicio es lento, muchos camareros son improvisados y en un lugar así hay que tener personal competente. Relación calidad precio es baja, si quieres cobrar 60€ la entrada y una copa hay que ofrecer un servicio de alto nivel.

    Hello, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry your experience did not meet your expectations. Regarding your reservation, we regret that the schedule change was not clear enough. From 11 PM, our “Midnight in Paris” package offers drinks only. Dinner is served from 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM. The €60 terrace fee includes terrace seating, a glass of Charles Heidsieck Brut Champagne and a guaranteed Eiffel Tower view. These details are shared during booking, in the confirmation email, at the entrance and upon arrival. We apologize for the welcome you received and have noted your comments regarding the service, waiting times, drinks and value for money. Your feedback will be shared with the relevant teams. We hope to welcome you again under better circumstances. Café de l’Homme Team

    I recently had an unfortunate experience. The service was incredibly slow; we waited over 45 minutes just to be asked what we would like to drink. After that, it took another 30 minutes before we could place our food order. As for the food, it was disappointing and lacked flavor. I've had much better meals at other places. The only redeeming quality of this restaurant was the view of the Eiffel Tower, but honestly, you can find that from many other restaurants in the area. I was really hoping for a pleasant dining experience, but this was not it. I won't be returning. Don’t waste your time or money. Very disappointed!

    Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sincerely sorry to hear that your visit did not live up to your expectations. We particularly regret the delays you experienced, both in ordering your drinks and your meals. Such a wait does not reflect the level of service we aim to provide, and we fully understand your disappointment. We are also sorry that the cuisine failed to impress you. While the view of the Eiffel Tower is part of experience, it alone cannot justify an experience that falls short of expectations regarding food and service. Your feedback has been shared with our teams so that these issues can be addressed. We hope to welcome you back under better circumstances and provide an experience that truly meets our standards. Best regards, CDH Team.
