A Slice of France in Berlin. Louis Laurent is the kind of restaurant that makes you forget what city you’re in. A sip of wine, one bite of steak, and suddenly you’re strolling the streets of Paris. This place is pure charm, wrapped in elegance.
The food? A triumph. The meat arrived cooked to absolute perfection. A delicate balance of juiciness, tenderness and flavor. We chose a bold and “velvety” cognac sauce that fit perfectly. Then came the “fosforito” potato (Streichholzkartoffeln), which deserve their own fan club. I devoured mine embarrassingly fast and found myself staring at my husband's Streichholzkartoffeln like a hawk (he was, unfortunately for him, hoping he could have mine too but it was too late). Wine selection is of course impeccable and the service is also great. Attentive, polished and warm.
The vibe? Chic and playful at the same time. There’s even a bell on the wall that you can ring to order champagne. Honestly, how brilliant is that? I didn’t get to test it this time (wrong seat placement), but consider it my mission for the next visit. I am pretty sure though, that the bell does not work, but it is definitely a cool idea.
Overall, Louis Laurent is an experience fueled by passion, precision, flavour and a solid French flair. If you’re in Berlin and want a dinner that feels like a quick, and elegant, escape to Paris, this is the spot. Go hungry, go curious, and do not share your...
Read moreSorry! but as a so called french fine cuisine and upper price level Restaurant in the middle of Berlin you should also offer an extraordinary service for this high prices! If the food is not really the best by the way ! We were visiting this Restaurant during a Business trip in Berlin and i Reserve for our Business dinner with a group of 6 I booked 1 day in advance, on the day of Reservation I recieved an confirmation call by the Restaurant was calling me to confirm our Reservation. Then the Drama happend when we arrived our table was given away to another group and we had to wait nearly 20-25min untill the table was ready for us. The Service was totally overloaded and stressed out. When serving the wine, half of it ended up on the tablecloth and it was quite stressfull for them. My Boeuf Bourguignon was poor in flavour no salt pepper or and no herbs and the vegetables like potatoes and carrots were really raw uncooked! one of my colleague recieved her dish without topping no shrimps in the dish! As a resume we would not come again here the food is not the price worth and the Service is overloaded and stressed out! There better Restaurants...
Read moreI booked a reservation for Valentine’s Day, only to have it canceled on the day of. Since it was a peak dining night, every restaurant was already fully booked. Instead of taking responsibility for ensuring their reservation systems were properly synced, they blamed OpenTable and claimed they “tried” to call.
How does a restaurant of this level not have its table and reservation data properly connected to its POS? If you don’t even know where your passwords are and have to rely on calling these reservation platforms, that’s a serious red flag. Do you not have a reservations manager?
When I pointed out how unacceptable this was, they hung up on me.
This level of disorganization—especially on such an important day—is inexcusable and reflects poorly on whoever is in charge...
