    Bred eas like bakeoff. One dish was so bitter and salty that we disliked it. One dish had no taste and good fish drowned in Black sauce. What Michelin had when they visited we would liketo know.

    Excellent. Great value for money. This French bistrot was the true discovery of our trip in Paris, just located nearby Notre-Dame de Paris.

    Nice restaurant with a good wine list and excellent food. But the service was horrible.This was a disappointment to us. The food really deserves better.

    The food is amazing, good tasting, perfectly presented. We were just surprised because you have to take 2 dishes to start to be satisfied. I had never seen a place like this. This mean that it costed twice what I was expecting...

    The food was not good, the cuts of meat were cheap. The ingredients were not fresh. The only good thing we had was the bread and the second basket they brought out was already cold. This restaurant is not worth the price tag.

    What a fantastic place in the middle of Paris! Gorgeous food, creative dishes and perfect wine recommendations, we had the 5 course Menue and really enjoyed it - the service team is very friendly and highly professional. 5 stars for Les Louis Vins!

    Went for New Year's Eve prix fixe dinner, food was mostly tasty, but found my scallops to be a bit more briny than I like - perhaps it's a regional flavor. Really nice atmosphere, friendly service, good wine (although if you're expecting a cocktail have it first elsewhere because they only have wine, which we didn't realize!)

    Everything was excellent. The steaks were perfectly cooked and the ratatouille was fresh and delicious. The summer salads and tomato gazpacho were as well. A must-visit!

    Friendly, welcoming staff however we found the menu rather limited and quite expensive. We didn't order a starter but received an amuse-bouche of smoked salmon which was very tasty. However when the mains came we were so disappointed with the quality of the food we decided not to bother with dessert.

    Excellent food, perfectly cooked + generous portions! Great selection too. Chose the suggestions of the day and was not disappointed. Really friendly and pleasant staff. Only downside is tables are really close to one another so there's a lack of intimacy if you go as a couple. Not a problem if you're 3 people or more. :)

    Mixed feelings. Appetizer, desert and wine were great. But the main dish was a huge disappointment - first of all we both ordered a veal chop but we received a t-bone (which had a supplement of 5€) but it wouldn't be a problem if it was good. Unfortunately the meet was very badly made - it was chewy and very very fat. We were full but not satisfied.

    Service information: No matter what is written, you have to order 2 courses (starter+main or (main+dessert) to get discount. The food was very good, service was nice and everything was actually quite fine until we got the bill. They made up different rules than standing when booked of how to get the discount - even if we asked before. In the end one of the waiters just said that it was her colleagues foult and that he had misunderstood our question. In the end we had to pay more than we should. A super shame, because we really liked the place.
