While in Chicago for business, I stumbled upon this delightful parisien bistro. If I lived in Chicago I would be a regular. The owner and staff are outstanding, the food supurb and the service exactly as it is in Paris!

We finally have our own secret place in La Petite Paris. It is somewhat secluded in a residential neighborhood, which just adds to the sense of discovery. Alain, the owner is a gracious host and chef par excellance! You will find an intimate bar with comfortable stool and banquette seating. The French house wines are carefully selected and a real value with a generous pour. The menu is well thought out and very inclusively classic. There are nightly specials which makes it even harder to choose. Salads are fresh and varied. The duck is superb when served extra crispy. The fish is accompanied by interesting sauces. The desserts are the perfect complement. Even though we say it is our secret place, we always want to share and recommend it to our friends.

This local hidden gem in Streeterville is what a true Parisian Bistro should be. While the dinning room needs some renovations, the wait staff and food more than make up for it. The Chef/Owner Alain makes sure to take care of all of his guests. The menu is filled with French classics. Every time I come here, at least once a week since I live nearby, the food is very fresh. Starting with the French onion soup, you will feel like you left Chicago and transported to Paris. The Filet Mignon was cooked to perfection with a wonder cognac and peppercorn sauce. To finish off the meal, I highly recommend any one of fabulous deserts. My personal favorite, the bread and butter pudding.

This place reminds me of a dining room in an old folks home. Run down decor, drinking and serving pieces that were stolen from the cafeteria. Pork medalions that took on the shape of pork chops, rack of lamb, cooked the day before and heated for that night's dinner. Beet salad right our of the can. A disappearing waiter, all in all a pretty bizarre place. Save your time and money, too many other choices in the city

For anyone who truly loves outstanding food, it is an absolute treat to dine at this charming, warm restaurant. I walked in and felt like I was in Paris again! The service is unflaggingly good, and achieves that delicate balance of professional AND warm. The food is flawless and changes seasonally and the wine list is simply amazing. Whether you're on your way to a show at Drury Lane Theater or simply going to dinner, you must stop in and try this romantic gem again and again and again.

I have been to this restaurant at least 15 to 20 times.We go to Paris once a year. At least for the past 10 years.This is a user-friendly French restaurant and I think the best value in the city for the food you get. Here are two items: the crab cakes are the best I have ever eaten, and the talapia is always wonderful no matter how they do it. I have had many things on the menu, nothing is less than good to very good. Most entres are in the high teens to low twenties, and they have a three course special M-W for $28.
