L’Ami Louis

Great meal. Very expensive. Best snails. Absolutely old school place. If you are not wealthy the waiters will be dismissive. The cost of eating at such a place.

L’ami Louis is an institution spot! Plain and simple. Sure it’s now mainly tourists who get the tables, the prices reflect that. It’s a fun spot, Louis will come out and have some fun with you, you’ll eat the best chicken you’ve ever eaten (it’s not $ 300.00), it’s around 92 euros for 2 persons. Expect to spend money sure, but you’ll leave with great memories. For me, the food is too rich and everything typically french, cooked in tons of butter. But if you go easy, eat slow and just enjoy the atmosphere and experience. A long Saturday lunch is the perfect time to go, it’s to rich for a dinner for a lot of people.

Short version: worst and most expensive meal I had in Paris. L’ami louis must be French for «we hire asshats»
I brought my girlfriend to Paris for her 30^th B day. At the end of the trip we wanted to go out with a bang and eat somewhere that would really be memorable. At the begging of the week I called this restaurant and was lucky enough to hear that they could fit us in the last night we were in town.
We showed up and they insisted we had not called and had no reservation or room for is (restaurant was empty and didn’t even start to have other customers till 30 min later). After some talking and incredibly rude gestures from the waitstaff they sat us.
Once seated the entire waitstaff treated us like second class citizens. Honestly it was like eating at a resrurant managed and filled with ex girlfriends. We barely got any attention (all smiles and laughter with anyone else) but instead got lots of attitude, cold stares and neglect.
We ordered their roast chicken for 2. It was good, kind of dry and greasy and not what all the hype i heard (def not worth the 96 euro price tag). When it arrived they just plopped it down on the table and walked away. After that we didn’t see another waiter till they brought the check — but we could see them interacting with other French ppl in the restaurant just fine but treat another American family similar although better.
I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN… unless I feel guilty and need to be punished for something.

Première visite et déjà envie d’y retourner.
Des assiettes qui débordent: ici c’est pour ceux qui ont faim et qui né né font pas de régime. Mais quel délice!
Attention quand même: ce n’est pas donné :))

Horrible experience. They refused to honor a reservation that was booked months in advance, and confirmed the day prior. After Ami Louis turned us away and declined to honor our reservation we dined a few blocks away. While walking back to our hotel late in the evening we decided to peak into the window, and sure enough many tables remained empty the entire evening. The reservation was booked by the 5* hotel we were staying at.

This was the most underwhelming meal we had in Paris considering its reputation. Prices are very high for a bistro like this, and the food was nothing special. The most outrages price was 40 euros for a melon cut into wedges on a white plate… That’s it — just a melon! The foie gras was alright, not great. I can barely even remember the chicken it was so average. I would not go back and don’t recommend it. There were some major celebrities (French and American singers) when we went… but I really don’t care about that kind of thing. I live in LA. You can’t throw a rock without hitting a celebrity. I know this is a famous restaurant, I just don’t get it.

Terrible — refused to honor reservation that was confirmed twice — rude staff. Ruined a very special celebration night.

This is the home of the $ 300 chicken.
This is not a typo!
So why have I given it 4 stars and a review?
Well, it probably has the finest meat I have ever tasted.
It is one of those crazy, once in a lifetime, do it with friends and share places that makes Europe memorable.
Food is simply prepared. Service is polite, but typically french… they are booked way in advance and it’s a small place. But charming.
Just bring your Euros with you!

Amazing place. Most Unilocal reviewers are good at complaining but know little about food. They post and complain to try to get free food! Trust me I know I have 4 restaurants all 4 star on Unilocal…
This place is great. The traditional look and feel and attitude is of a bygone era. Foie gras world class, escargot best I have ever had, potatoes with garlic to die for, they had morel mushroom special that was out if this world and the best morel I had in the world. baby lamb and chicken were excellent but not best in class. Finished with château Margaux 99 and haut brion 88 … Margaux won.
Do yourself a favor if you have taste and can afford it go. Don’t listen to ignorant morons that Unilocal attracts.
We even sat next to a friend there Alexandra Ambrose. We were the only Americans in the place for the late seating.

Wow, a lot of picky reviews.
First of all, the chicken is not $ 300. The escargot is not $ 70.
It’s expensive — but what in Paris isn’t? And Americans notoriously gripe about the smallness of portions in France… not a problem here by any stretch.
People gripe about the wait staff — I thought they were fabulous. Professional, funny, attentive.
Escargot was the best I’ve ever had and a huge portion of it. Split it if you don’t need that much.
Poulet is fantastic. Wine list is huge. It’s small and intimate and fantastic.

If you don’t have taste. This is the place
Really they have gone for the money. We booked a table arrived and they put us at the corner tried to argue because they had tables for 2. And the guy lied
He said they sr for 3 then when two arrived he said well they eat here all the time
Sad. Money more important than service. Skip skip!!!

Ok c’est cher mais si vous êtes à deux il faut prendre une entrée et un plat pour deux car les quantités sont réellement gigantesques. Pas de complexe, c’est ce que tout le monde fait. Du coup ça divise la petite note par deux et tout va bien. Le cadre est top, la qualité est au rendez-​vous, et avec un peu de chance vous apercevrez Chirac ou plus récemment John Kerry.

This place is one of the famous place in Paris like the Parisian Place to be… I really don’t understand this mythe. None french people will be there, the price is so expensive that for sure you will meet tourists or «american celebrities».
The food is ok, the meat is incredible but the Foie Gras or Snails around ⁶⁰⁄₇₀ € it’s like crazy who will pay that !? For snails or frogs where you can find them at less than 15 € and it’s expensive !
The entrances are fat and oily or worth the simply melon at 45 €…
The service is Ok too, the old waiters are lovely and fun, this is not the case for the «young» employees.
So for me (a parisian guy), I won’t go there anymore: too fat, too expensive and the old bistro design is just too much.
Just one time is enough !

We were told that we MUST go to L’ami Louis during our recent visit to Paris. We were told that we MUST book far in advance. We were told that we MUST get the foie gras and that the chicken was to die for. We did all of these things. While the foie gras was delicious and the chicken was indeed very good, I walked away disappointed. This Paris institution seems to be sitting on its laurels and seemed to make little effort during our dining experience.
Yes, the food is expensive. We knew that going in, but I didn’t feel that the food warranted the extravagant prices. The chicken for two (which is a whole chicken presented in quarters… truly enough for four) was a rather tasty bird, but we ate better chicken during the Paris trip at another restaurant that didn’t have the cache of L’ami Louis and that other chicken didn’t cost 90 euros. I have also had much better chicken in the US at Sydney’s Taylor Made Cuisine in Westhampton Beach, NY… and theirs didn’t cost 90 euros either. Louis makes a good roasted chicken, but that is all it is… roasted chicken.
The foie gras at 60 euros was a very generous portion of three thick slabs and was delicious. It was the only item that seemed to warrant its price.
The salad, which was a mesclun mix, was 30 euros. I think this was the most shocking of all. It was just a bowl of mixed greens, very similar to what I could buy at the grocery store, served in a glass mixing bowl with vinegar and oil dressing. It was unceremoniously plopped on the table and we were left to serve ourselves. We were also left to serve our own water and wine. The service was sufficient, but unremarkable.
Our reservation was a 7:30. We were the only table in the restaurant for a few minutes and then the restaurant slowly began to fill up with other Americans. As we were leaving more Americans were heading in. This «institution» on French bistro cuisine seems to have become another tourist trap. If you have money to burn and care little for the value of a meal and want to brag to your friends back home that you ate the most expensive chicken of your life, I suggest you go to L’ami Louis. If you want an authentic French culinary experience I suggest you look elsewhere.
I am saddened that this was my experience, because this restaurant had been spoken of incredibly highly by friends who visited Paris, granted their trip was over ten years prior. I wanted to go in there and have an amazing meal… a meal I would remember forever. It delivered a decent meal that I will remember for being underwhelming and not worth the hype.

I don’t understand thee people who give this place five-​star reviews
Wildly overpriced, extremely rude and hostile waiters and the kind of food that’s better in in about 300 bistros or restaurants in Paris. At half the price.
It’s packed with Americans.
The French wouldnrt tolerate this tourist trap.

This genius said it for me.

This is my favourite restaurant. Despite its meager décor, the food and the proficient service will distract you from your surrounding. The clientele are hand-​picked like the ingredients used. My favourite foods there are Escargots, Frogs legs, Pâté foie Gras and the best gâteau of potatoes in the world. Do not leave Paris without paying homage to this Parisian institution.

So. Horrendously. Overrated.
My experience at L’ami Louis was sub-​par. After incredible meals at Spring and Allard, L’ami Louis paled in comparison.
The waiters were loud. The food, while good, was SO OVERPRICED. 20 euros for a plate of fraise du bois? REALLY? you could pick those up at a market for maybe 3 euros. Horrendous.
The chicken was dry and the lamb we had was fatty. I was not a happy camper.
I was just extremely underwhelmed by the whole thing and will not be returning.

Stop the insanity. For God’s sake, stop this insanity now. Stop the fawning 5-​star reviews and ravings about € 85 roast chicken that was touched by the hand of God and prices that suggest a criminal conspiracy and the celebration of service that was — at its best — rude and imperious.
I was almost taken in too. After a restaurant owner that we befriended in London sent us an email suggesting that we try to dine at L’Ami Louis I checked the Unilocal reviews and found almost universal acclaim for this unprepossessing command post of Gallic criminal cuisine.
It’s immediately apparent after setting foot through the narrow front doors that the restaurant owners are not spending any of their obscene profits on the restaurant’s décor. In fact, I would wager that the entire annual maintenance budget for the railcar sized restaurant could be met with whatever miscellaneous euro coins you can dig out of your pocket right now. But in an age of shabby chic, I assume that most of their patrons mistake distressed and worn for vintage.
Upon entry we were immediately accosted — not greeted — by one of several paunchy and truculent waiters who were milling about an emptying table and ordered to stand at the far end of the room. Now I’m not sure how to translate «Goodfellas» into French, but this crew of beefy and baleful waiters could certainly have starred in the sequel «Goodfellas in Paris: Poulet Pilfery.»
We were finally seated nearly 30 minutes after our reservation time and presented with a single page, laminated menu that was as classy as those you receive at the Midland, TX WaffleHouse — though without the enticing photos of each dish. I took a photo of the menu to prove that I wasn’t exaggerating the breathtaking prices. € 59 foie gras, € 140 lamb for two, € 140 beef ribs for two, € 25 salad and € 25 chocolate cake (not the whole cake, just a slice) and the aforementioned € 85 roast chicken pour deux. With the exchange rate at about 1.5−1, our dinner tab was apparently going to rival my monthly mortgage payment.
Before we could catch our breath from the exorbitant prices on the menu, we were delivered a bound tome of laminated pages substantial enough to induce a permanent sag in the wooden dining table. Apparently the owners understand that laminate alone cannot sufficiently convey the unconscionable prices of the wine list, which make the merely obscene menu prices pale in comparison. No, truly extortionate pricing requires a leather cover.
Before proceeding any further, let me assure you that I am entirely accustomed to paying dear prices for extraordinary meals. I take no issue with the prices I paid just days before at Nobu in London for small plates of exquisite food. My complaint is paying exorbitant prices for intentional mediocrity.
We order a bottle of white burgundy that retails for approximately $ 50 but is charmingly priced here at € 200.
Now, all I’d read about the restaurant were the effusive reviews of their otherworldly roast chicken and frites, so we started with a salad and waited for our promised land chicken.
The salad of frisée and mâche — two leaves so contrarian that they have no business sharing the same bowl — was drenched in an entirely forgettable vinaigrette and simply dropped at the end of the table for us to serve ourselves.
It was at this point that I began to recognize the impact of the Stockholm syndrome on my own expectations and impressions of L’Ami Louis. I wanted to believe. I wanted to overlook the haughty service. I wanted to excuse the unreasonable prices. I wanted to embrace the 5-​star reviews. But then they brought the chicken.
The adjective «plain» doesn’t sufficiently capture the complete lack of decoration, adornment or garnishment on our plates of chicken. Imagine a complete absence of inspiration presented on a simple white plate and you capture some of the disillusion that was set before us.
And that was before we actually applied knife and fork to their impenetrably resilient fowl.
I regularly buy rotisserie roasted chicken from my local grocery store for $ 7. It is unfailingly tender, flavorful and delicious. Everything that was absent in L’Ami Louis’ pretentious dish.
Fortunately, I had my iPhone with me so I could look up the phrase «the chicken is tough and rubbery» in Google Translate. I even listened to the translation a few times so that I would pronounce the phrase «le poulet est dur et caoutchouteux» correctly.
I needn’t have bothered. Nobody ever asked us how our meal was. And why should they? They count on deluded tourists to clamor for one of their limited tables for the privilege of paying hundreds of euros for a meal that is provided nightly at countless brasseries across the city for one-​fifth the price.
It’s time to break the cycle of abuse. Avoid L’Ami Louis.

Excellente table traditionnelle, rue Vertbois
Né pas y attendre des courbettes et du personnel parlant avec une patate chaude dans la bouche, parceque le ton bourru du directeur du restaurant vous raffraichira aussi sec!
Une fois qu’on a compris qu’il n’y avait pas de chichi chez l’Ami Louis, la fête commence!
Les proportions sont gargantuesques!
En moyenne une entrée ou un plat conviennent sans problème à 3 personnes Hier soir, escargots et asperges fondantes, côtes d’agneau grillées parfaites, rognons flambés .J’en ai encore l’eau à la bouche!
Les accompagnements méritent également une description: montagne de pommes allumettes, gâteau de pommes de terre à l’ail et aux herbes et un saladier familial (oui oui) de salade frisée
Excellent vin Château Giscours et délicieuses mini fraises des bois en dessert.
En revanche, l’addition piqué les yeux. pour 3, nous avons approché les 450EUR Je né pourrais pas y aller mais régulièrement mais la qualité, la fraicheur et la quantité des produits valent le prix!

Among the best meals of my entire life.
My wife and I went on a Tuesday night, arriving at 8pm to an empty restaurant. The place filled up by 9pm. The food and service were both excellent. On its reputation, we shared the foie gras to start and it was tasty, but portions were so large that in retrospect we might have gone for another appetizer to share. If you LOVE foie gras, then by all means, indulge in this generous serving amount. (The escargot served at the table next to us looked and smelled awesome!) For our entrée we shared a roast chicken– the taste will live on in our memories of this vacation forever– the best tasting chicken I have ever eaten. We had an excellent bottle of Cotes du Rhone for around 65 Euro. For dessert I had an excellent chocolate nougat dish and she had seasonal fruit (small strawberries packed with loads of flavor) and whipped cream.
The space is as I imagine an old classic family run bistro. The waiters are nicely dressed. The room can be a little loud compared to other high end restaurant experiences (the phone rings throughout the meal). For a shared starter/​entrée (the roast chicken serves 2 people easily), desserts, 2 bottles of more affordable wine, expect to spend somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 – 400 Euro. Some people dressed in dresses and suits, others were casual in jeans but still chic.
Given the build-​up and hype around Chez l’Ami, they met expectations that would have been impossible to surpass. Worth saving for months and budgeting to help make this happen. We are already talking about when we’ll return to France to eat again at this amazing restaurant. Book two weeks ahead by phone and call to confirm your reservation in the early-​mid afternoon the day of your meal.

One of my favorite spots in the world, the food is unbelievable and the service makes you feel at home.
Cannot stress more on how tasty the foie gras is, chicken and potatoes are to Dow for.

A éviter
La cuisine est assez bonne mais né justifie en rien les prix exorbitants pratiqués dans cet établissement où le service est franchement désagréable.

La qualité des produits et là, la quantité aussi mais hélas cela se paye très cher !

I was brousing through some of the reviews of this place on TripAdvisor and there seems to be two schools of thought; one is that it’s an overpriced place for tourists, and the other is that it’s one of the best bistros in Paris. I’m in the school of the latter.
It’s small (Reservations are a must. Try to book well in advance) and wood paneled with an ancient oven and a sick, phone book sized, wine list.
The food is fantastic. It’s very expensive. The experience is amazing. The staff are a bit offhand, but very professional. I love how they almost parade around the room with the food.
Did I say the food is fantastic? Well it is. After all, isn’t that the reason for going to a restaurant in Paris?

Des prix fous, un bon poulet
Vous êtes prêts? C’est parti: assiette d’asperges = 90 euros, assiette de jambon = 53 euros, 6 huitres = 44 euros, foie gras = 65 euros, poulet = 78 euros, côte de boeuf = 130 euros, assiette de fruits ou sorbets = 24 euros… Ceci pour vous énumérer un éventail des prix hallucinants pratiqués dans cette institution qui sert une bonne cuisine (on adore le poulet et l’agneau en saison), mais tout de même les tarifs sont extravagants y compris pour les vins. Le personnel est fier et pas toujours aimable. Ce restaurant semble vivre grâce à une réputation solide chez une une clientèle de riches habitués et grâce aux guides américains qui l’encensent. Y aller quand même une fois dans sa vie pour voir et apprécier la qualité des plats très généreusement servis.

La gastronomie française très chère
Excellente cuisine copieuse réalisée avec d’excellents produits dans ce petit bistrot d’à peine 35 – 40 places où on est serrés et assis sur des chaises en bois. Magnifique foie gras, doux, goûteux et pas trop… gras, le jambon pata negra est sublime. Il faut absolument goûter au poulet rôti, croustillant et moelleux avec une montagne de frites allumettes. Sinon, les desserts sont très quelconques. Enorme choix de vin, on s’y perd tellement il y a de références et le serveur malgré son professionnalisme est un peu perdu lui même. Ceci dit, il faut aborder le sujet qui fâche: les prix exorbitants et qui ont encore augmenté ! la côte de boeuf est passée de 120 à 130 euros, le poulet à 79, les desserts à 24 (y compris une portion de fruits frais !), le café sans mignardises à 7 et la bouteille d’eau à 11 !

Prière d’éviter l’arnaque …

Difficile de noter objectivement un tel resto: si on y va avec le stress de la dépense, il vaut mieux passer son chemin. Par contre si on accepte une addition très élevée tout en sachant qu’on mangera superbement bien des produits du terroir tel le foie gras ou des pièces de boeuf très bien cuisinées, alors il faut y entrer. L’acceuil est tout ou rien: le patron a ses têtes (comprenez les habitués) et n’est vraiment pas patient avec les clients pensant entrer dans un simple bistrot (ce qui est le cas vu d’extérieur et à l’intérieur) et qui restent sur leur quant à soi quant aux tarifs. Enorme choix de vins, là encore avec la valse des coefficients.
Pour conclure, c’est très bon mais l’accueil et le cadre sont inclassables

Restaurant chic et choc, très réputé et donc très cher!
Le foie gras est à tomber. Je né me souviens plus des plats, je n’y suis allée qu’une seule fois (et encore je rejoignais des amis, j’ai goûté le foie gras avant de repartir). La cave est somptueuse, plus de 700 références je crois.
Je me rappelle d’un beau décor des années 30, que les serveurs m’ont murmuré que c’était la cantine de Jacques Chirac et de Bill Clinton, entre autres. De prestigieux clients donc, quelques stars du cinéma y pointeraient leur nez de temps à autre, de passage à Paris…
Enfin, je me répète mais seule une clientèle très huppée peut s’offrir ce genre de restaurant…

Depuis que Chirac et Clinton y ont diné, les américains veulent tous y aller, alors piège à touriste ou excellent bistro?
Je dirais les 2 ! Il faut savoir que ce bistro ou rien n’a changé depuis des lustres, avec le poêle au milieu, les serveurs en veste blanche et Monsieur Louis aussi adorable avec ses bons clients que détestable avec les mauvais. Ici les dames sont en vison, et les messieurs avec un porte feuille plus que garni !
Est ce bon?: OUI, c’est même délicieux, des portions énormes, des vins magnifiques, une qualité des produits irréprochable. Je vous conseille le fameux poulet (entier) et la montagne de frites au torchon !
Pour y aller: et bah bonne chance à part si vous avez des connexions comme un politique, une star, un chanteur, un milliardaire, car sinon ce restaurant n’est pas accessible au commun des mortels !
Est ce cher?: le plus cher de Paris à mon avis !

TRES TRES CHER
cuisine française de bistrot parfaite
Idéale pour épater des américains de la cote EST
mais il faut que vous ayez des raisons de vouloir les épater parce que vraiement c’est cher
Et puis n’emmenez pas des mannequins anoerexiques, parce qu’elles vont se suicider, les portion sont dignes de PAntagruel

Une institution
Il faut y aller au moins une fois pour pouvoir temoigner: 60 EUR la portion de foie gras 120 EUR la cote de boeuf pour deux 120 EUR le gigot d’agneau pour deux C’est horriblement cher pour un petit bistrot grand comme un couloir. Mais c’est très bon et copieux et surtout on repart avec le sentiment d’avoir pu accéder à un lieu confidentiel reservé à l’élite du cinema, des affaires et de la politique. Passage obligé des présidents américains. C’est un musée Grevin où l’on né change surtout rien depuis des décennies, du décor d’époque jusqu’au vestes blanches en tergal du personnel (attention le patron porte le même uniforme, pas de gaffes) La cave est somptueuse, plus de 700 références je crois, où se cotoient romanée, conti et petrus. Vous garderez un souvenir certain de votre passage.

Faites vous inviter…
Bön… que dire… on a un peu l’impression d’être à Disneyland. Il y a tout ce qu’il faut pour réjouir nos chers amis américains: du personnel parodique au possible tout droit sorti des «Aristochats» ou d’”Un Américain à Paris”, des plats trop chers et quelconques, des vins aux prix stratosphériques servis dans des verres à moutarde ou presque… bref, faites vous inviter par quelqu’un ou tout simplement laissez de la place aux touristes !

Le bistrot dont on rêve
C’est chaleureux, on est bien reçu et la cuisine est superbe. Je pourrais ajouter que c’est du solide au niveau des quantité. Bön au niveau addition, ce n’est pas un rêve, mais ça le vaut.

Bön mais hors de prix
J’ai été une fois chez l’ami louis. C’est très copieux, bon, mais beaucoup trop cher (390 pour deux). Le décor est sympa, l’ambiance aussi.

Avis aux amateurs de people: ce restaurant affiche un livre d’or plus que prestigieux (Jacques Chirac, Bill Clinton, Tom Cruise, etc…). La cuisine traditionnelle de ce bistrot chic est riche en saveurs et chaque plat est éternellement amélioré
mais cela se paie (130EUR par personne sans les vins au minimum). La qualité vaut elle tous les prix?

La meilleure brasserie
Bön il faut réserver 1 semaine à l’avance au moins sinon contentez vous du second service (22H) les plats sont vraiment copieux (voir 1 entrée à 2 pour les petits estomacs mais ça passé facile), nous avons pris des escargots et des cuisses de grenouilles délicieux et en plat une cote de boeuf (pour 2 personnes) mais y en a au moins pour 4. C est très très bon mais assez cher (380 euros pour 2) donc prévenez votre banquier a l’avance pour le decouvert ! Mais il faut au moins tester ce resto une fois dans sa vie, ça en vaut largement le coup. Le service est correct les serveurs sont tres gentils. Niveau décor, typiquement brasserie, c’est pas grandiose mais bon on l’oublie vite. La clientele est correcte même si parfois légèrement bruyante, pas super agreable pour avoir une discussion en toute intimité. En gros allez-​y au moins une fois ça vaut le detour !

Gargantua
Avis aux grands mangeurs qui veulent manger en quantité des produits de qualité: en particulier l’agneau de lait, les escargots et le fois gras. Un conseil, il vaut mieux prendre une entrée pour deux.
