I've done this several times in the past and really enjoyed it. But I am having trouble figuring out how to make a lunch "picnic" reservation online this year. I've been to the official Tour Eiffel site and the accompanying 58 Tour Eiffel page (don't want to use an outside group due to higher cost). The pages describe the options but give no links for reservations. After much fooling around, I did finally find a couple of hidden links but even though they have "reservations" in the link, they just take me back to the resto page. Help!

Hi Holly, what is a "picnic"? I laughed reading the drinks offered... "a soft or glass of wine or a beer."

Susan, It's been 3 years since I last had lunch on the TE, but I remember the ordering of the meal as being a little confusing (or maybe it was just us!) You're seated (don't be afraid to ask for a window seat if they're not crowded), your drink order is taken (add the word "drink" to "soft"), you order your meal at an order window, can't remember if they bring it to you or you go back and get it (the "picnic" part is it comes in a wire basket). Our food was very good and the view over the Seine and Trocadero was great!
