Set along Quai de l'Hôtel de Ville near Pont Louis Philippe and just steps from Pont Louis Philippe, this iconic Seine-side brasserie unfolds beneath broad red awnings where locals, artists, lawyers, city hall employees, and visitors linger over terrace tables as river traffic glides past and the golden light reflects across the historic quays.

What you should know about Le Louis Philippe.
Le Louis Philippe is best known for occupying a nineteenth-century riverside brasserie overlooking the Seine beside Pont Louis Philippe, preserving one of Paris's classic Left Bank-Right Bank dining traditions through continuous service while presenting an extensive repertoire of French onion soup, Burgundy escargots, steak tartare prepared to order, duck confit, sole meunière, beef bourguignon, seasonal seafood, profiteroles, crème brûlée, and an extensive cellar of French wines, allowing diners to experience authentic Parisian brasserie cuisine within one of the capital's most historic waterfront settings.
Golden onion soup arrives beneath a deeply caramelized blanket of bubbling Comté, while buttery escargots perfumed with garlic and parsley give way to expertly seasoned steak tartare, delicately browned sole meunière, slow-braised beef bourguignon, and crisp-skinned duck confit prepared with classical French precision. Seasonal seafood, market vegetables, carefully reduced sauces, artisan cheeses, airy profiteroles, silky crème brûlée, and thoughtfully selected wines extend the meal through successive layers of richness, aroma, and texture. Every plate celebrates the enduring techniques of the French brasserie, transforming a meal overlooking the Seine into an immersive expression of Parisian culinary heritage.
