Les Petits Parisiens

Les Petits Parisiens in the 14th brings a refined glow-up to the classic French bistro. Take a seat at one of the wooden tables spaced out judiciously across the tiled floor—ideal for quiet conversation with your date—and sip one of 175 wines from delicate, thin-stemmed glasses (a pleasant upgrade to those stocky goblets). Flavors are straight out of the French bistro bible, like a steak au poivre with a generously peppered sauce, while plating takes cues from fine dining, as with the rich celery remoulade's wisps of fresh celery root arranged in a ring and crowned with apple matchsticks and smoked haddock cubes. Cap your romantic night with a digestif from the gorgeous wooden bar, where bottles stand out like rainbow fairy lights along a salmon-colored wall. Or share a generous cast iron cassolette of rice pudding with the most decadent salted caramel sauce ever.
