Truly great Paris gastronomic experience in Paris
L’Amis Louis 32 Rue Verbois, Paris 3; Tel. 01-48.87.77.48, Where Chirac and Clinton chewed the fat. Roast chicken (you'll try to duplicate the rest of your life), sautéed fresh foie gras, famous garlicky roast, sliced potatoes or yummy french fries, and the best green peas you've ever imagined.
Still to this day, one of my top five Paris meals ever. This is a 200 dollar roast chicken dinner for two, and you're remember it for the rest of your life.
I've been to all the greats, nothing holds a candle to this IMHO. And I wish I could remember the name of the sensational wine that washed it down. Extraordinary.
Yours MC

Ok Maria...I am ready! I will be in Paris in October and have this place at the top of my list; just let me know, please, the reservation procedure..how long in advance to call/have hotel call? How difficult to secure reservations?

Nothing in the world is better than the way taht the french do escargots- I cannot remember that name of that sauce - it's a green herb and butter sauce to die for- not the bourgogne. That, a little bread, du vin, and Paris equals heaven on earth. Positively spirituelle!
L'ami Louis is a dive- probably not even a chandelier in the house - but this is the food that you'll think of when you die. And it's really fun to watch people drop $500 bucks on lunch - always to impress a little french vixen, bien sur.

mariacallas, your idea of a "dive" and mine are dramatically different:

I asked about this place on Fodor's last year and as I remember, a bit of a debate started here. Maria, would you tell us the reservation policy and what is the best way to get them as per my earlier question, when you get a chance? Thanks.

Trust me, that's the best that place ever looked. Reminds me of a roadhouse. Nowhere near what you would expect, butthe food.....
I can only tell you that I booked about two months in advance in french, but I imagine they'll also take your money in english!!!.

Any Julia Child fan should read the biography she started assisted by her husband but after her death finished by her grand nephew. It really captures the spirit of the woman we knew and loved.
