President Donald Trump and his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, will round out a busy day in Paris on Thursday with a meal at Le Jules Verne, a Michelin-starred restaurant located on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower. The city is a gastronomers paradise, and yet Trump and first lady Melania will be dining in one of the most clich venues imaginable.

Macron invited the U.S. president to France to celebrate Bastille Day and commemorate the one-year anniversary of the attack in Nice. And while the majority of French citizens dont appear to mind the invitation , Trump is not exactly going for the most authentic French visit, opting for Paris most tourist-filled destination.

The City of Light has several restaurants that are Michelin-starred, a prestigious rating created by the French tire manufacturer and awarded to only a select number of restaurants. But the Trumps will hold their dinner feast at Le Jules Verne because of the emblematic location, recognized by people the world over, a spokesperson for the presidential Elyse Palace told HuffPost France.

The menu boasts specialties like foie gras and duck confit, according to the Michelin guide items that Trump, known for his pickiness, most likely wouldnt ever touch. The menu is also commended for its wine pairings equally ironic since Trump doesnt drink alcohol.
