Chez l'Ami Louis Paris Reviews
This would be my last meal, the roasted chicken and foigras
This would be my last meal, the roasted chicken and foigras with the fire toasted bread is perfection. I dream of returning to this restaurant.
My second visit, just as enjoyable!
This is my second visit and I am just as excited and anticipated as my first time (which I have also reviewed here in TA a couple of years ago). I think enough has been mentioned about their bresse chicken (along side with the mountain of shoe strin
It is what it is.
Touristy, expensive & the wait staff has an attitude. But it continues to be amazing food. Everyone should dine here once before you die & then you can decide if it's your vibe or not. We've probably been 5-6 times. No need to go ev
Terrible manners
Absolutely horrible staff and service! Incredibly rude over the phone and in person. They make you feel so bad about wanting to even fine there!! Talk about nasty French attitude
SCAM ALERT
Scam alert! They only take reservations over the phone. There are several FAKE websites claiming to be their reservation sites. All take money to guarantee it. When we got to the restaurant they were rude, dismissive, insulting and arrogant. They k

Not easy to get there with the traffic , food is very copious ,service is of course professional, you ave a huge selection of wine , it's tiny and old style don't forget to bring an appetite as it's nothing light here with the traditio
Great food ! Lots of Salt !! A bit overrated, but what
Great food ! Lots of Salt !! A bit overrated, but what isn't these days, very very expensive and for sure a lot of attitude ... whats new !! Well, not sure worth the price.
It has been sold!
Have loved this place for 30 years. (Yes, I’m old!). Never had a bad meal But last week something felt funny. Normal waiters seemed to not be there? New people? Then the chicken came. Good but was it missing something? I attributed it to je
We were very excited to try this restaurant as we heard
We were very excited to try this restaurant as we heard some wonderful things from a few friends. It is a very cute, although somewhat rundown, setting, but that added to the charm and the servers were attentive and friendly. However, the food was v
If you can get a table, definitely go.
Old school vibe, good service Chicken was the recommended dish but really enjoyed the side dishes of mushrooms and crispy baked potato the most, as well as the foie gras and green salad.
Everything about dining at L'Ami Louis is OVER THE TOP!!!
Everything about dining at L'Ami Louis is OVER THE TOP!!! This old line bistro is one place you want to enjoy in Paris. The food, the service the extensive wine cellar - every sense is satisfied! They cook everything on a woodfired stove. Hard t
TOTALLY “WOW”.
My wife and I ate here Apr 20, 2024. Everything was a “WOW”. I use the word “WOW” as this is above “incredible”, “awesome”, etc and is probably the words I used when I saw our food). Portions are huge so come hungry as you will lea
One of the best meals I have ever had in my life.

The food.
The service. The portions. The escargot. All amazing. Fun place. Interesting crowd
Proceed with extreme caution foreigners
A CAUTIONARY review. Enter at your own risk visitors. Lets get the basics out of the way first. We knew very well that this was a pricey place. We had the "famous" roast chicken with the fries - this was our only food. I figured a whole ch
Authentic Paris Gem.
Amazing from start to finish. An authentic French bistro with great food and service. We ordered the snails, garden salad, and duck confit and garlic potatoes. All magnificent. A definite must visit when in Paris.
A very difficult to book restaurant especially for tourists yet rewarding if you do get a table...
Restaurants serving Bresse chicken can be found throughout Paris (as you can see from my other reviews in this trip). While Chez l'Ami Louis is not the most expensive, this is considered to be on the high side. Booking is essential as it is a very sm
Old School. And French in all the ways.
First things first, the food is delicious. And perfect. Scallops Provençal to start. Followed by the whole roast chicken, of course, and frites, with an enormous salad to cut the richness. The mixed berries with crème fraîche for dessert were sum
Thanksgiving in Paris
A must do when in Paris, order the roast chicken and the house potatoes and you can thank me later! Great spot for a birthday too.
Amazing Restaurant
Atmosphere was excellent, restaurant has such character and a Paris 'vibe' service was great but above all the food was perfect. From the foi gras to the insanely juicy chicken and the incredible chocolate gateu it was perfect - thank you!! Ignore
totally revolting.
from the over buttered bread to the fatty foie gras, to the contaminated snails, to the. chicken served with canned gravy. the meal induced nausea and explosive digestive results that took me 12 hours to recover. this is a health hazard. .
Outstanding in every way!! Service, food, ambiance was
Outstanding in every way!! Service, food, ambiance was impeccable!!! Highly recommend if you can get a table. It's a favorite among US presidents and VIPs, so book early!!!
Walked in after searching for a dinner place and was seeing
Walked in after searching for a dinner place and was seeing the great reviews. Nowhere on the website or on yelp did it mention a reservation. They denied us seating saying "we're full" and very clearly had tables available in the dining ar
Quintessential old school Parisian bistro dining.
Another reviewer wrote that it, "feels like you are going back to the 19th century" and I couldn't agree more. The food is not for the faint of heart. Be prepared for butter, decadence, and large portions. We ordered a healthy sample of t
Was in Paris for a short trip, this restaurant had some
Was in Paris for a short trip, this restaurant had some great reviews, some not so. Very central located in the 3rd arrondissment. It was kind of a joke to attempt this bistro. Overall, there are others on the list to try.Food was 2.5/5Service 4/5
The first time I came here was in 1982 when Louis Magnin
The first time I came here was in 1982 when Louis Magnin was at the helm. He presented us our chicken, holding it by the legs. I could barely finish the escargots when the chicken and the frites arrived. Everything was abundant and delicious. The
L'Ami Louis is one of the 2 best restaurants i've been to.
I have eaten all over the world.However, it is not for Wussies, Cowards or Weaklings! There will be butter.You will sweat, and eat way too much. You will spend too much money on the vintage wine list. Well priced wines.i walked out before desert and
They Sure Aren't Friendly
But it's the best bistro in Paris. Nothing rivals the simplicity of excellence. Don't over-order. Portions are in line with prices.
VERY SALTY AND VERY EXPENSIVE
T E R R I B L E. Very salty, very overpriced, very small table, very difficult to get in and the place is not pretty, very old. Food portions are HUGE and not in a good sense, badly presented. The foie gras and the truffle is good but that’s it. Th
No value for money!!
The price/vale of the food options is awful. Food not worth the price paid. Great wine list and attentive service but it just can’t offset merely adequate food for the prices charged. Nevermore……
Exceptionally good
It was so difficult to reserve a table here but it was worth all the troubles. Every dish we had was exceptionally good and the service was very good , very friendly. We will go back there again..
Favorite restaurant anywhere!!
Visited Paris for our 10th Anniversary and our hotel concierge sent us to Chez L’ami Louis. It is a very special place!! Very small and it feels like you are stepping back in time. As Americans who speak very limited French it was a little intimid

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Chez l'Ami Louis Paris. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Chez l'Ami Louis Paris at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Chez l'Ami Louis Paris page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $5.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $5.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $5 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Chez l'Ami Louis Paris to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $5 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Chez l'Ami Louis Paris!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
