Our Story

A French Soul in Florida

At the heart of Maison Louis Café is Jerome — a French-born chef whose journey from the culinary schools of France to celebrated kitchens in New York City has shaped a rich and soulful approach to food and hospitality.

With the privilege of learning under legendary mentors like André Soltner (Lutèce) and David Bouley (Bouley), Jerome brings a tradition of excellence and heartfelt service to every dish.

Now rooted in St. Augustine, he’s found joy in returning to what matters most: cooking with care, sharing honest food, and creating a space where guests feel truly welcome.
