12 reviews for Le P'tit Paris
Service here is great, even if the seating is a little cramped they make the meal very pleasant. The starter portions are very generous. My steak tartare was perfectly seasoned, and could have been a meal itself. The mussel servings are also huge, and quite good. (go mariniere, classics are best here) The bread is a little dry/stale, better for dipping into mussels sauce than it is on its own.
The duck comes two ways, crispy confit which is a little dry/salty, really good breast in pan sauce, and a mound of fantastic comfort food(mushroom, potato and garlic). The beef bourguignon (saturday special) is very good, and its sauces drip all over the mushroom risotto base.
Nothing disappointing with a few real standouts, it's nice to have a really good standby restaurant for the area.
When I saw the menu on Thrillist, I knew that this was the kind of food my partner loved -- simple old-fashioned non-trendy French bourgeois fare.
Three of us went for Brunch on Sunday and loved it; we all had terrific oysters to start, followed by either Steak Tartare (for 2 of us) and Mussles Mariniere (for the 3rd). All were excellent; great flavor and a really good value for the price. Our waiter couldn't have been nicer, and recommended an excellent reasonably priced French wine.
We will definitely be going back!
I see that everything I had planned to say has been covered...packed house on a Saturday night, tasty food at a reasonable price, excellent & friendly service.
They forgot to add our bottle of wine to our bill and were very grateful that we let them know, and showed their gratitude in the form of 2 glasses of Muscat.
Oh, and they do take Amex now.
We ate there last night and had a very good experience. The food was good to very good, prices reasonable (entrees around $15) and the staff very helpful. We shared the mussels mariniere as an appetizer ($12) and they were excellent. We had the rainbow trout served with vegetables baked in a bag and the scallop/shrimp dish...both very good.
Will definitely return (and try the brunch for $10).
And , yes, they took Amex.
Went again last night and it was PACKED!! Good for them! The food again was wonderful!

At first I was a bit leery of this place, after its very quick renovation and the short lifespan of its predecessor in this space, Da Vincenzo. My wife and I went for a meal. Service was prompt and slightly overbearing, music was a little strange and everyone was very concerned with how the food tasted. To the food: We had the goat cheese tart, coq au vin & the steak frites. Tart was solid, good cheese and onion flavors - the crust flavorful and well made. Coq au vin was served with egg noodles, button mushrooms and pieces of bacon. The flavor was also quite good and the meat was moist. It was a lot of food - I took the noodles home. Steak frites was good as well - nice chunks of rare cooked hanger steak and a heap of fries. the profiterole desert was OK - the puffs were a bit dense. All in all the meal was great.
A few notes: The actual menu is a visual jumble - they need some help with formatting it. The mussels & fries look good @ 12.00.They are currently not taking credit cards - but that is not mentioned anywhere. They have a 9.00 brunch menu that looks like i'll be trying shortly. The staff should ease up just a little - but I understand they just opened so I guess the waters need to be tested. I was asked no less than 10 times how everything was!
Friendly bistro, good food, fair prices...in my neighborhood! We went opening week and really enjoyed our dinner. My husband had fantastic boullibase with big plump shrimp and scallops, served with a proper toast with rouille. I had delicious hangar steak. I asked for veggies instead of fries (I know, I'm sorry) and they were delicious haricots verts. Our waiter was an older French gentleman, humorous and kind, and very professional. Good Cotes du Rhone by the glass. Only complaints: the bread was not french and not good.
This place is great! A very much needed addition to the neighborhood. I brought my wife here for her 30th birthday dinner. The place was packed even though it was a Sunday evening in quiet Windsor Terrace. Despite the crowd, the service was fast and friendly. We picked the cheapest bottle of wine on the menu and it was great. Every thing we had was excellent: The escarcots were fresh and herby, the "Sacre Coeur" salad was delicious, my wife loved the Sunday night poulet roti special and my duck was incredible. I mentioned to the bartender that it was my wife's birthday and they brought out a dish of profiteroles with a sparkler. It was very nice. All in all a great experience. And Monday nights are all-you-can-eat mussels night! We'll definitely be going back ... a lot.
Finally - the neighborhood place I've been craving! Prompt service - though they assume you'll know a fair amount about their menu and french food in general. The music was a bit loud, but maybe I would have loved it if I loved french pop. Having said that -- the food!!! I started with the frisee salad with lardons and a poached egg - perfect portion size, egg cooked just right. Then the mussels mariniere. DELICIOUS! Perfect mussels, perfect broth. The fries were yummy too, but I would skip them and ask for more bread next time. Rest of the table was just as happy with their orders: french onion soup (sweet and hearty), hanger steak, steak au poivre, and the mussels/shrimp dish. All outstanding. We will be back -- soon!
The music was outstanding -- 80s French pop.
All the staff spoke French with one another.
The atmosphere is casual and unpretentious, although the staff was attentive and helpful.
The food was rich, but not heavy, and served in large portions.
We will be back.
Good food, great service, funny music (in a good way). The food seemed a little pricey for what it was -- good, but not GREAT. I felt like I would get much better food for the money on Smith Street. Although, the wine by the glass was reasonable. Given the shortage of options in the nabe, will definitely try again.
This neigborhood doesn't have the allure of the Park Slope stalwarts that line up 5th & 7th Avenue, but finally a great restaurant has come to Windsor Terrace!!! It's menu echoes many French bistros that are in Manhattan (Les Halles in Manhattan comes to mind), but has the price tag of Brooklyn! A friend and I had 2 entrees (the pork chops, personally, were wonderful), 2 desserts, 2 coffees, and a drink each with dinner and the whole tab was UNDER $70! I'm getting the moules and frites next time and I can't wait to go back to try their weekend brunch! Oh, and the service was top notch!
