From Paris with love

Rumor has it that back in the good ‘ole days (when Clinton and Chirac were still in office) the two had a dinner at L’Ami Louis.

Darn good French bistro style food, a mean steak tartare and fabulous french fries. A local haunt for the employees of the Mayor of Paris and artsy/magazine (Beaux Arts) folk. Terrace for the warmer days. 15-20€ for main courses. Reservations can usually be made the day of.

It’s what you should be eating while in Paris.
