We had a great couples meal at Petit. Food was delicious ( we had scallops, croquettes, beef bourguignon and fish and definitely try the creme brulee) and service was good on a busy night. Good wine list with enough choice but a little on the pricey side in some cases. We sat inside on a chilly night and it is cosy. We will be back
