L’Ami Jean Paris Reviews
Shockingly BAD!!!!!!
Absolutely disgusting and filthy. The website showed octopus but not on menu. Pigeon was raw. No cocktails except sprtirz. Shocking service and wouldn’t even call a taxi. Do not go!!!! All the punters are tourists who know no better!!!! Worst
Had a reservation for July.
They cancelled it. A month later. . Might try to walk in at a later date.
Great bistro
Small and cozy restaurant with good athmosphere. Waiters with attention and service. The food could maybe be a bit better. For starter we choose the eggplant sandwich which was nearly without any taste and too big as a starter. The other starter was
Dissappointing - avoid if you dont have much time in Paris
Really dissappointing - only 3 days in Paris. Very sad… the seared tuna was smelly and not fresh, they were polite to remove it from the bill. The waiter didnt explain any of the dishes - nor wines. The aubergine farci was the worst dish - it was
tasting menu extraordinaire! fantastic service.
very small, lively, and cozy space encourage one to know your adjacent patrons. will be back in two years.
Amazing food.
From the lamb and beef entree to the seabass, we came back a 2nd night, out of only 4 nights in Paris. Small place, so make reservation, or expect to be turned away. Their rice pudding is to die for.
Underwhelming and Disappointing. None of the energy, warmth, or uniqueness that we had read in other reviews.
This was one reservation that I was most excited about during our 5 nights in Paris. My wife and I are avid foodies and regular ‘restaurant tourists’, having eaten our way through 5 continents and fortunately based in Seattle, Washington - home t
5/5 stars!!!! Such a cute and home style place in Paris.
This was our favorite restaurant here. I made reservations about a month ago because I heard online that this place was good. The place was so cute and quaint and it felt like home. There were not too many tables and we were treated so kindly. We
Not your typical dining experience!
A unique experience. Great food, open kitchen with hyperbolic chef! Tight quarters and noisy; but a lot of fun. Chef is very passionate about his food and the presentation. Never a dull moment. Don't go there for a quiet dinner for two. Do go there
Cozy little authentic restaurant. Expensive. Good food.
It’s a nice, cozy, antique restaurant. Always crowded. Very loud atmosphere, but in a good way. Small tables, almost communal. Service is good, professional some of the waiters do speak English. The master chef is fun and always yelling and screami
Great little restaurant our hotel recommended.
Very friendly atmosphere with great food and service
Uniformly great!
Always terrific great food (and a lot of it!) this is one of our favorites. Comfortable and casual yet top notch bistro food, don’t skip the rice pudding for dessert!
Really incredible.
The beef charcuterie was perfect, the octopus was among the best I've had, and yet the parmesan soup was maybe our favorite of the three. The beef shoulder was incredible, although if I have any issue with it, it's that it stops us from ordering so m
Excellent dinner in super ambiance
We had a great dinner with super ambiance in a very cosy place. Riz de veau was super as well as riz au lait… do not hesitate.
I will never stop raving about the rice pudding at l'ami
I will never stop raving about the rice pudding at l'ami jean. I mean quite frankly the best dessert I had during my week in France. It's the perfect balance between sweet and creamy, and the textures from the nuts and caramel just takes it to the ne
The food and service was superb.
The fish for the day, although not filling for e42 a small sliver, was truly melt in your mouth perfection. The beef shoulder entree was quite worth the e42 price tag for quantity, taste and quality. The ambiance was more of fine dining at a busy Am
Rushed Experience
Dined at L'Ami Jean for dinner on 9/19/23. We were seated for the first dinner service of the evening at 7:00. We ordered a bottle of wine, 4 appetizers, and 4 entrees. We were seated for 55 minutes. We didn't even get the chance to finish our ap
This plas was recommended to me by a top Chef.
I never knew that food could taste this good! Just GO Pleasant staff and informal, family atmosphere as well.
I think L'Ami Jean is a must if you're in the City of Light.
We got here early with friends and were treated to a great night: a hulking, rich roast, plus the rice pudding dessert is a must. Excellent wine selection (of course) featuring some well priced burgundies, and we even met another famous restaurant r
Stephane and his team are great.
We had a lot of fun and food is wonderful. Stephane Merci
Avoid this place, if the cooks don't want to be there, you don't
NO, NO, NO...... being a chef, I came here to just have a casual meal that should have been a no brainer. Orderd the razor clams which were sandy and some of them had broken shells. The filet was over cooked and tasted like it was unsalted.... the
Amazing
Excellent, excellent, excellent. One of our top meals of Paris. We started with the octopus with chicken broth foam...AMAZING! My wife then had the sea bass and I had the steak...and we shared mashed potatoes. OMG. All so delicious. And the portions

If you are in Paris, if you are in France, MUST make a point to visit this gem! Only the belly would understand how absolutely delicious this place is, literally one of the very best spots for French cuisine. Order: Beef fish, rice pudding (and I don
Would recommend
The review about bad service are overblown. Everyone was reasonably nice and helpful to this American family of four. Food was excellent. Ours was a somewhat faster meal compared to some others we’ve had in France - sure because maybe they do want
Thought this was going to be another Paris tourist trap but
Thought this was going to be another Paris tourist trap but NO, the food was amazing, elevated classic bistro dishes and do not miss the rice pudding, OMG. Will definitely go back on our next trip to Paris!!
We read the rave reviews and couldn't wait.
We arrived on time for a 7 p.m. reservation. The waitress was brusque and rude. Two of the four of us spoke and read French. They were given menus in French, we were told to use our phone for the English version. When there was no description of

If you’re looking for real Parisian food as it should be with classics presented in a non-trumped up way then here’s your answer. Ambiance plus authenticity = a unique experience.
L'Ami Jean is a must-visit for anyone in Paris.
We stumbled upon this small and cozy restaurant on our way to see the Eiffel tower and were immediately drawn in by the inviting atmosphere and friendly staff.The service was fantastic and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, even
10 stars for our meal
Easy walk from our Hotel Vernet. My amazing Fiance is a LM incredible chef and restaurant owner. He researched all the restaurants we were eating so I knew this one would be outstanding. We loved the communal style seating & even though I don
Incredibly disappointing. A tourist trap.
Following all the good reviews we chose to eat here on a recent trip (our fourth to Paris) and were shocked by the mediocrity of the food and in fact the entire experience. Food is bland and plain and served in weird bowls. Restaurant is too bright
Waitress is rude, food over price
Very Disappointed! Not worth it!!! waitress is terribly rude! I was so disappointed this time. Their food price pumps up a lot from last time I went. Everything is different from my 1st visit 3 years ago. The waitress is very rude from the very begin
The tasting menu was excellent.
Service was prompt and very attentive. Ambiance felt like a small house cottage, close seating, intimate and near fellow diners but lovely nonetheless. The variety of courses was a culinary delight!
Went for lunch our first day after a ride on the Bateaux
Went for lunch our first day after a ride on the Bateaux Mouches. It is walkable from there. Had soup, starters, and mains. They were very kind with our limited French and recommended three glasses of wine to complement our meal choices. The only thi
Service was fantastic.
Having free Wi-Fi is nice since mobile phone service to terrible. The Foie gras was perfect and I ordered the sea bass which was sweet and cooked perfectly as well.
Great tastes Easy and Fun restaurant
Had a beautiful diner! Easy relaxing and casual atmosphere! Great tastes good portions! Parmesan soup, artichoke and clams and razor clams : all Top! Then duck and a bird (not pigeon) my husband loved it. Rice pudding and chocolate mouse seriously go
Over priced tourist trap packed with loud Americans
The bread was good. The rest - not so much. We ordered a 6 course menu. One of us wanted just a main, but they refused, so we all had to do the full menu. None of the dishes were anything astonishing. All average or below. Pretty tasteless and dull a
Food was expensive and average for what it is.
.. rice pudding was good though.I don't get why their seating is so tight. You will be literally next to other customers even though the restaurant is half empty.
Amazing, authentic French restaurant! The staff are so
Amazing, authentic French restaurant! The staff are so friendly and accommodating- they even introduced the menu to us in English! It was so fun to sit next to the chef's counter/kitchen. The chef is very engaging and takes such pride in his craft. I

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

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to L’Ami Jean 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 L’Ami Jean 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 $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at L’Ami Jean 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 ElaborateHouse74 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, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74'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 L’Ami Jean 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.
