Chez l'Ami Louis

A 100-years old restaurant, which offers simple French staples, like chicken, duck and veal kidneys. Tremendous wine list. Large portions. Very high prices. Almost impossible to make a reservation for dinner, a little easier for lunch. 3.5 stars

Top recommendation in Paris! We put our names down and went to a bar, Erev, nearby for an hour. It was lovely and easy! Will definitely go back for that Chicken and Fries!

It's one of the best foie gras dishes I've ever had. The famous chicken, however, is somewhat overrated. The escargot is generously sized. On the downside, the waiter was a mix of rudeness and friendliness. The prices are quite steep, likely due to the restaurant's long-standing reputation. While I appreciated the beautiful cuisine, I believe customers should be treated with more courtesy.

Authentic French cuisine for duck, chicken and steaks. Potato tarts. Large portions. Vast wine list.

Before it becomes ami Louis Vuitton one of the last place in Paris where food is good and large and not pretentious. I fear every day when Bernard will ruin it with a creative chef and change a single thing in this monument.

The place is definitely charming with its atmosphere. I heard a lot about the bad reception and service but they where super friendly to be honest ( made the booking through the hotel). The food is focused around the “oven” most of the items are roasted in a rustic simple way. We didn’t like the escargot that much (way too slimy) The roast chicken was really amazing served with shoestring fries and a sharp salad 👍🏻 For the deserts we had a simple mixed ice cream which they all where well made.

One of the most clubby bistros in Paris. With only 14 tables and with the great and the good of Parisian society, Judges, bankers, artists and actors wanting to dine here no wonder it’s hard to get a table. It has has been visited by Bill Clinton, Jacques Chirac and Vice President Kamala Harris. The prices are high enough to scare most tourists away. The famous roast chicken, with its accompanying tower of shoestring fries is the most expensive chicken in Paris. They serve it in two portions so don’t finish the first serving. Portions are large so better come hungry

Chez l'ami Louis is legendary. We have eaten here several times over the years and they never disapoint. The crowd is always an eclectic mix of chic, local, business. All of whom know they are about to experience something special. Fingers crossed LVMH will preserve l'ami for generations to come.
