Le Louis Vins has been tucked into the small rue de la Mongagne Ste Geneviève for seemingly endlessly. I’ve walked previous it 1,000,000 occasions however by no means thought to go in, and my dinner friends stated the identical factor upon arrival. However I used to be optimistic, primarily based on a couple of sturdy evaluations, to suppose that an actual gem had been hiding in plain sight. Alas, this wasn’t the case. No matter magic was occurring appears to have dissipated when chef Mélanie Serre departed in 2022. The meals, throughout our go to, went largely uneaten. The wine record was wonderful, however it hardly the draw that different reviewers had claimed. The ambiance was stale, the gang was touristy… it’s simply not our form of place.

IN OTHER WORDS
- Gault et Millau (2022) “Mélanie Serre partie sous d’autres cieux à la fin de l’été 2022, c’est désormais Olivier Bel qui officie aux fourneaux du Louis Vins. La transition s’est faite en douceur. L’esprit bistrotier et soigné a été conservé et si, parfois, la salle sonne un peu creux (heureusement, la playlist de bonne pop anglo-saxonne est idéale), les assiettes ont assez de personnalité pour rendre le second agréable : velouté de chou-fleur, noisette, œuf parfait et persillade qui coche toutes les instances de la mode hivernale, belles noix de saint-jacques…”
- Paris Replace (2021) “I’ve been to Louis Vins earlier than and favored it, however this time I completely beloved it, as did my three dinner companions. What made the distinction? A brand new chef, or cheffe, because the French now say, Mélanie Serre, who made us pleased from the start to the top of the meal, with the assistance of the very attentive servers.”
