Le P’tit Paris Bistro

Incredibly amazing, such a cozy place. It’s truly a little paris in the area. Super friendly people, professional and very welcomin. Will definitely recommend. Thank you guys.

Nothing outside the box but this neighborhood French joint is reliably good. Pretty much anything in the menu is satisfying. The mussels and fries are flavorful. Chances are you will run into a neighbor at this cozy spot.

Decently portioned brunch options with great service! Their weekend brunch special is bang for your buck for sure.

Awesome food. Reasonably priced. Great service. Great choice for brunch!
I had the Benedict with home fries and bacon on the side with unlimited sangria. I will certainly be back here in the future. The location is great because there is parking around and it’s easy to get here.
Oh and I had the privilege of trying three of the desserts. They are amazing because they aren’t overly sweet. They were the dark chocolate mousse, the napoleon and a pouched peach and cream dessert (forgot the name)
The venue is petite so make a reservation if you don’t want to take the chance.
Enjoy!

Classic French Cuisine executed perfectly. No frills needed. Quality ingredients, appreciation and respect for the menu.

Le P’tit Paris has become our favorite eatery/​nesting spot for my two (now grown) kids and me over the years – at least here in Brooklyn.
What can I say – or rather NOT say – about this place? The atmosphere is thoroughly comfortable and accommodating; the food is delish; and the service is impeccable. For those who prefer the traditional, more formal atmosphere of a French restaurant, this would not be your cup of tea – or even your glass of wine, for that matter. The feel is more ‘country French’ – which is to say laid back, authentic, cozy.
The price, too, is affordable – particularly on Monday and Wednesday nights (after 4:30 p.m.), when you can get a bottle (or three) of your favorite wine at half price.
Easy to get to? If you can find the Pavilion Theater, you can find Le P’tit Paris just as easily: it’s just a stone’s throw further up Prospect Park West.
So, do yourself a favor and take yourself out one evening to Le P’tit Paris Bistro. You won’t be in the least disappointed.
Oh, and by the way … try the snails for a starter. (That’s now my kiddoes and I always open our evening.)

I’ve prob been here ~20x or even more and it’s still just as amazing as always. I always get the same thing (french toast). It’s literally the best french toast I’ve ever had. I try the french toast at many brunch places and they’re not even close to this one. My bf always gets the hangar steak sandwich w/​fries. The fries are perfect. I wish they sold them separately like in a to go cup lol. We always share the avocado, feta cheese, tomato salad. EVERYTHING IS GOOD! Julien and the rest of the staff are always so nice. love coming here!

I went to this fabulous restaurant over Thanksgiving and the food and service was outstanding

This place is usually packed with people and there is usually a wait for brunch. I came here waited about 15 mins and got seated in the outdoor tables. We ordered the Florentine, goat cheese kale salad, the hanger steak sandwich, and a dessert. The Florentine was basically an eggs Benedict. It also came with homefries. This place is a very good place for brunch and they have amazing dessert.

what a great little brunch spot! my friend and I are new to the area and wanted to explore. Unilocal brought us here for unlimited mimosas, Bellinis, and sangria.
food and drinks were decent but the atmosphere was cozy and the staff was attentive.
would definitely recommend!

I enjoy the friendly atmosphere, does not feel stuffy at all. I’ve only been for brunch and the bottomless brunch is a great deal. The waiter was generous in making sure the glasses stayed full. Only complaint was that the drinks were light on the booze but I guess that’s to be expected for such a reasonable price. The eggs florentine and home fries were delicious made me want seconds

I’m ashamed I’ve not reviewed this place earlier as my wife & I have used this place regularly for date night for years with such reliable pleasure. The ambiance is just fantastic reflecting a true French emphasis in the signs, service, menu, decorations, service & servers. The care of the food presentation & recipes are likewise French faithful. Saturdays have a $ 10 brunch menu which includes unlimited water/​oj or mimosa/​wine (+$ 3), choice of a few very hearty entrees & a side. What a pleasure to sit here on Saturdays when the neighborhood is awakening & slowly percolating in or by the large floor-​to-​ceiling windows. The service is always so gracious & happy that I must highlight it. Altogether, great for any event from girl’s/guys night out to dates to regular dining.

This place was excellent. Perfect neighborhood bistro for a blustery Sunday night. Our party was in the mood for a French onion soup and a light meal, and we stumbled upon this place and were extremely satisfied. We had the French onion soup, the escargot, the duck mousse, and the moule frites, along with two bottles of wine. The proprietor’s suggestions for wine were good and actually pointed out the cheaper wines on the list. All of the food we had was exceptionally good, with the exception of the moule frites. It was a large portion, however the broth was very lightly seasoned, and tasted like mussel water. The duck mousse is best enjoyed with the addition of some mustard to give it some acidic tang in my opinion. Although the lack of flavor with mussels was the only negative with the meal; the exceptional service, along with the well executed food and low prices give it a 5 stars. We’re definitely going to come back to visit since we’re in the neighborhood.

Walk in to big smiles and a friendly «sit anywhere you like»…
It’s casual comfort food, done extraordinary well, in a space that could be described as homey and elegant.
The service is quite attentive as locals brunch and chat while sipping wine or coffee.
The onion soup is very good. Now I say this, understanding that French bistros are known for a fine French onion soup, however, as I said this one is extraordinarily well prepared. Flavorful, cloudy broth filled with tender sliced onion, topped with a slice of French bread to support that gorgeous, creamy bruleed cheese that sits atop.
I enjoyed bottomless coffee with a Swiss cheese omelette and generously portioned salad. The eggs were creamy and fluffy and perfectly seasoned. The salad was cool and fresh, lightly dressed in their house dressing.
They have a prefix menu where you select from traditional French fair, and choose any beverage for $ 10.99. You can also order from their traditional menu. Take the F or G train to 15^th St., Prospect, then sit, relax, enjoy your meal and appreciate the black-​and-​white photography. Lovely… Some familiar mixed with not so familiar photographs of the Eiffel Tower from every perspective you can imagine… Je t’aime…

I’ve been here a few times. The food is typically pretty good, although I recently ordered the ham and cheese crêpe which came with a salad and wasn’t thrilled– Very plain. But the brunch price is quite reasonable and they keep the mimosas flowing.
I do not appreciate that the staff always seems a little condescending and annoyed… If that were different I’d order the eggs Benedict and give this place 5 stars every time ;)

OK so I meant to review this place a few weeks ago and just now got around to it. This little «Parisian «bistro (and by Parisian, I mean they have pictures of Paris on the walls and French magazines in the bathroom but that’s about as Parisian as it gets) is easily located in the heart of Prospect park west. We used a
certificate which they we’re very happy to redeem toward the 16.99 pre fixe brunch menu that included your choice of unlimited mimosas, sangria or house wine.
Upon entering we noticed the place was HOT! Not just hot, but like Congo Africa HOT. The host told us the AC was broken, which we understood, but they had not a single door or window open, specially since the place has glass patio or «French» doors if you will. Nevertheless, we will carry on for the unlimited booze.
Our server took our orders and brought a carafe of water which was, you guessed it… HOT (no ice and room temperature… puke!) By now, I’m pretty disgusted, but the wine is flowing and I’m starting not too care so much until, the French onion soup I ordered came out… absolutely freaking disgusting. Picture a bowl of murky hot sewer water with some onions thrown in and a piece of soggy white bread with a glop of melted cheese in top and… voila!
By this time, I’m beginning to lose all hope and then my croque Monsieur comes out and takes every last bit with it. Nothing special about this sand which, dry white bread, deli Ham, and some kind of hard dry cheese melted on top. I had to ask for mustard just to choke it down… complete disappointment. My husband wasn’t too impressed with his chicken sandwich either, but he did say the avacado salad was pretty good.
The only thing that redeems this place from getting one star is the crème brûlée is absolutely FANTASTIC. And the wine was pretty damn good, otherwise I won’t be returning unless I hear they have a new chef and the AC repair man has made a visit.

I’ve been here 2x; the first was for my birthday nearly two years ago for an amazing dinner that I truly enjoyed. I didn’t get back quickly because it’s a bit out of the way for me. However, when I was sifting through Brooklyn brunch options and saw that this place that I had such fond memories of had a brunch with bottomless mimosas (my prerequisite to weekend brunches), I could not resist taking the ride over to South Slope or whatever they’re calling the neighborhood this week.
Brunch. First of all, the price ($ 16.99) is too good to be true for NYC; bottomless drinks of your choice between bellinis (a little on the sweet and syrupy side but tasty) sangria (which I meant to try but refills kept coming so fast that I forgot to switch up again), and mimosas (more champagne than OJ, can’t go wrong there) and an entrée. Entrée wise, I opted for the steak sandwich with fries. They’re fries are simple and golden but very delicious. The steak is as other reviews say, very good or bland. You don’t quite know which you’ll get on any given day. The sandwich was pretty good, the abundance of caramelized gave the sandwich more depth between the fresh baguettes. The chicken sandwich was made pretty much in the same way with side of fries and my friend says it was pretty good as well. I ordered an additional crêpe on the side. I was disappointed that they only offered a wheat version which honestly wasn’t very good at all. I was really looking forward to a sweet dessert type of side dish and even drenching it with syrup didn’t do it for me. Another friend ordered the bacon eggs and potatoes; despite the look of the seemingly overdone potatoes, she really enjoyed them. The most appetizing (looking) dish of brunch was the French toast which could have been so amazing but the egg was still funny. They didn’t cook it properly enough to get the batter cooked into the bread and this was the consensus throughout the 5 of us at the table. I’d still go back to order the French toast in hopes that it’d be better because it definitely has potential.
All in all, this place is good for an inexpensive brunch where you get a little more for what you paid for when the food is prepped properly. It can be amazing but it’ll probably just be good. Aside from the accents in the place, it’s still Brooklyn and not Paris.

I don’t get all the great reviews. We showed up at 7.30pm to an almost empty restaurant. Staff was friendly, however due to the low amount of guest we were constantly approached, which ended up being quite annoying.
Mussels were cooked for way too long! They were dry and disappointing, and I had to stop halfway through the bowl. My friend got the gnocchi with mushroom and she felt she was eating an unfinished dish. I tasted and had to agree with her — poor taste and the gnocchi were so dry.
I won’t recommend this place to anyone. At least not for the dinner option.

First time here and I loved it! The steak tartare was amazing. The seafood with pasta dish satisfied my seafood craving and the fruits with french toast was a good after-​meal dish. We also got the escargot. Wasn’t worth the price but definitely a good first experience.

While this is a review specifically for brunch, I will note that our party had ordered items from the a-​la carte menu, some of which certainly pertains to the dinner side of things (mussels, escargot, salmon salad).
Everyone was pretty happy with what they ordered. The food, as far as brunch goes, is great and of a seriously great value, especially when you get boozy with it. $ 16 for an unlimited mimosa, bellini, or sangria deal with bottomless tea or coffee should you desire is pretty rock solid. I had the hangar steak sandwich, which I generally liked, but considering there was a $ 2 addition to this order, felt it was a pretty poor steak to baguette ratio; really just a few slices of hangar steak. That aside, it was delicious and the fries were the awesome crispy variety. We ordered mussels for the table which was a hit, and someone who opted for the additional escargot with their meal had good things to say. The eggs benedict looked pretty standard, but kind of measly on that big plate; most likely an issue of perception.
We made reservations and the group of 8 we had was seated after only waiting 5 minutes. This was closer to the end of the brunch day, so it was easier to get seated. I imagine it may be a lot tougher earlier in the day or morning. Service was excellent. And I mean, excellent. The restaurant was busy when we got there, our French waiter looked like he was a little bit overwhelmed but he kept his cool (we’re not an easy crowd, let me be the first to tell you) so points for that. Where the service was impressive was 1) the speed at which drinks were refilled the 2) speed at which food came out and how excellent the bussing was; an empty plate did not survive more than a minute. The space does feel very authentic French bistro-​ish and won our group over. When 200 lbs+ guys are admiring the interior of a restaurant, they may have done something right.
On the negative side, they were all out of sangria by the time we arrived but I think everyone got over it. I absolutely will come back for a dinner attempt, but brunch will be happening here again in the future, as well.
PS I had seen reviews note being overcharged for the $ 16 instead of the $ 10 brunch for the non-​drinkers. We did not experience this, despite our rather large party.

You gave four of us great food and service
we give you 5 stars.
Merci beaucoup

I’ve never been to Paris. I don’t know a lick of French, so don’t be expecting any «c’est la vies» or «voulez-​vous coucher avec moi, ce soirs» in this review. I am pretty much unfit to assess the authenticity of this restaurant. But since when has lacking qualification in anything stopped me from putting in my two cents in the past? I figure, why start now?
To begin, the coffee at Le P’tit Paris Bistro is pretty fantastic. New Yorkers have a lot of pride in a lot of shit, but even they know the coffee here is sludge. For my meal, I ordered the French Toast (right, sorry — Pain-​perdu), which is pretty standard brunch fare for me. Typically, I’m to expect fluffy triangle wedges drowning in syrup and powdered sugar goodness. What I got were six finger-​sized ovals covered in an assortment of fruit. At first, I was skeptical that this would barely be enough for my American appetite, but was pleasantly surprised when the seemingly meager portion size did the trick. In regards to taste, the Pain-​perdu was all I could ask for in a ten-​dollar deal — more or less glorified diner food, but no less satisfying.
Maybe it’s just me, but the French theme here is a little overkill. I understood what I was getting myself into from the name — no need for multiple Eiffel Tower framed photographs to remind me. I believe it was French author Guy de Maupassant who claimed to each lunch regularly at the structure’s base because it was the only place in Paris where he couldn’t see the damn thing. I can understand that.
Anyway, there’s the typical church crowd of old people and families that come here from across the street after mass lets out. Therefore, it’s not exactly the trendiest of brunch spots the area has to offer. Not that that’s a demerit. In fact, it’s quite the refreshing break from weekend mornings wasted in long lines for over-​hyped, over-​priced, over-​crowded cafes. If low-​key is what you’re goin’ for, Le P’tit Paris Bistro is just right.
