Selected answer:Café Eiffel
Explanation:
Eiffel being the name of the man who designed the tower but in the name of the café - the distinction between man and tower is slim

Café de la Tour Eiffel - would be Eiffel Tower Café


The Eiffel Tower was built for the International Exhibition of Paris of 1889 commemorating the centenary of the French Revolution. The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII of England, opened the tower. Of the 700 proposals submitted in a design competition, Gustave Eiffel's was unanimously chosen.
