Paris
Overseen by double-Michelin-starred chef Thierry Marx, 58 Tour Eiffel has a location only bested by the gastronomic Le Jules Verne, one floor up. Walk-ins are possible at lunch; reservations (which allow you to skip the lift queues) are essential for dinner, with guaranteed window-table options.
Request high chairs in advance.
