Chez l'Ami Louis Paris Reviews from The Last Year
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 leave extremely full. The waiters are very nice, friendly and fun-loving and the service excellent. This was one of the “GOAT” places that we’ve eaten at. If we ever get back to Paris, this will be the first place we will go to eat. To begin, Chez L’ami Louis is very small (14 tables) and we were extremely excited to get reservations. We called several months earlier from Canada and found out that they only take 2 weeks ahead. They also told us that “they love Canadians”. So exactly two weeks ahead of the date we wanted, we called immediately at the time they opened (12 noon) to ensure a reservation. Generally, I don’t talk about our meals but this place is worth raving about. For drinks we had a “modest” glass of champagne. There was a very wide range of wines (even by the glass) with a wide range of prices to choose from. For appetizers we had “fois gras”. I expected a small dish but we were served 3 thick slices to go with a giant stack of toasted bread. The fois gras was very soft, very buttery and easily spread. This was very filling and almost a meal in itself. We loved it. For our main course, we had the “Cote de Boeuf Grillee” for two and this was “WOW”. There was lots of other interesting entrees on the menu which I would have liked to try next time if I can get past not ordering the Cote de Boeuf Grillee. After our appetizers, the waiter appeared and presented 2 massive pieces of cooked beef on a wide tray the length of his forearm and hand. I wish I would have taken a picture of it. When we saw it, we let out a loud “WOW”. In fact other tables who ordered it did the same. I know all the tables near us looked at us. I think the waiters had big chuckles on their faces (you could see the smirks on their faces) and got a kick out of g peoples’ reactions. In fact there were similar responses (loud gasps, looks of amazement, etc) at the tables near us when their food (not just the beef) arrived. I know it is not polite to look at what other people are eating but it seems that all dishes were big enough for multiple people. It was a lot of beef. The waiter then took it away leaving us wondering, we can’t eat all that. A plate with a huge stack of shoe-string fries appeared. We started eating these and these were light and delicious. A few minutes later the waiter put down two plates each with two thick slices of beef. They had taken it back to be sliced. We ordered “medium rare”, but they looked more on the rare side (perhaps this is what med rare is in France but I’m not complaining). It was tasty, tender and delicious. I was relieved thinking that we were only getting a part of the meat that we saw. I was wrong. Just as we finished the first plates, the waiter served us another plate (with three thick slices). By this time, my wife had slowed eating, and I helped her finish her plate. And just when I thought we were done, the waiter showed up with a 3rd plate. I told the waiter to take the 3rd plates back “I can’t possibly finish that” but the waiter said, “you can do it, I know you can”. Unfortunately, I tried my best but was unable to finish it all. That is a shame having to leave some beef. The waiter also asked if we wanted more shoe-string fries. Yes, I would have liked to eat more of these too but I was just too full. To finish for dessert, we each had a café au lait. No room for a dessert. God knows how big these would have been? This is one of the “BEST” meals that we’ve had. All I can say is “WOW”. We loved everything here. Mega thank you to the waiters and the staff at Chez L’ami Louis for such a “WOW” dinner.
One of the best meals I have ever had in my life.
Roast chicken, Scallops and those French fries!Shear perfection!
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 chicken for 2 was enough at lunch. Canadians have a roast chicken culture, coast to coast chains specialize in just that, so maybe I'm jaded or biased. The chicken was very good, but not the best meal you'll eat in Pairs by far. The fries i might sell a child for. Bread and butter was also good. Ambiance.. meh, i'm pretty sure the tablecloths were the same material as an 80's junior bridesmaids outfit I had: peach overload. The fruit set up was very nice though. You will smell of roast chicken when you leave and for hours after. HOWEVER and here's where my caution begins, if the price is not listed ASK. You are brought a tome of a wine list. Maybe 40-50 pages. It was lunch so we simply asked for a glass of white. I have never had a GLASS (yes one) of white wine cost €26!! Thats $39 Canadian. For one glass. (Keep reading it gets better) I have had espresso in Michelin starred restaurants - and L'Ami Louis is not one. You expect to pay a premium in those kinds of places... but €9? Thats highway robbery. I left feeling rather used, like i was paying a tourist tax because they didn't want us there. Considering there were only two tables, including us, occupied- they could do worse than some bougie foodies. In short, I would strongly suggest you could have TWO better meals in Paris for what this one lunch cost.
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 small and cosy restaurant (tables packed literally next to each other with just enough room for guests to tuck in. We had a few of the signature dishes like escargots, cuisses de grenouilles and of course their signature poulet roti. All dishes were nicely prepared but the frog's legs may be too oily for some tastebuds... The shoe-string fries and green salad were of high standards as well. Just a note: this is a quite traditional restaurant where online booking is not available. You either have to call yourself or ask concierge to arrange for you.
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 summer perfect. In February. Not sure how they do that. It was a lot of food for two but we attacked with pleasure and left only a pile of bones, a few cold frites and a random lettuce leaf. The waiters treated us with benign neglect, which was to be expected because we are neither French nor famous. The atmosphere was fun and festive and we will definitely return. As an aside, I have been wanting to go to L’Ami Louis ever since I read the Calvin Trillin article in the April 2005 issue of Gourmet magazine. I was not disappointed.
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 the overly sensitive diners leaving negative reviews, this is France not the US for goodness sake. Come with an open mind, sit back relax and enjoy
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. .

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
