Au Petit Monsieur

Frommer's Review

A meal at this restaurant, tucked away in the 11th Arrondissement, is like dining in the French countryside. Under wooden beams and held up by old stone walls, the three dining rooms are decorated with country crockery. Patrons dine at bare wooden tables, using kitchen towels as napkins. Both modernists and upholders of French culinary tradition find a happy home here. Everything is served by a capable staff sensitive to your needs and orders. The fixed-price lunch and dinner menus are changed every day. Appetizers often begin with a tureen of soup from which you help yourself. Count yourself lucky if it's the well-flavored pumpkin with tasty homemade croutons and Parmesan. Delicate red mullet often comes with eggplant "caviar" and an arugula salad, the fish enhanced by a sprinkle of basil juice. Since dining here, we've become addicted to fennel ice cream.
