Renowned French restaurant, Jules Verne, located at the Eiffel Tower, will undergo a makeover led by Lebanese architect Aline Asmar d’Amman. The designer won the interior design project following a year-long competition alongside the Umanis Group led by Sodexo. The Beirut-born creative will bring the gastronomic venue into a new era, together with her design studio, Culture in Architecture, and Michelin-starred chef Frédéric Anton, reported Vogue Arabia.

Operating since 1983, The Jules Verne, was last renovated in 2007 under the helm of Patrick Jouin. The restaurant was shut on September 3 and will reveal its new look in spring 2019.

D’Amman founded Culture in Architecture in 2011 in Beirut and Paris. Her repertoire includes various landmarks including the art direction of Hôtel de Crillon’s renovation.
