This was our second visit and Petit Bistro & Wine Bar did not disappoint. We sat outside and even in winter there was enough warmth to sit comfortably, but blankets were provided if you prefer. Our waiter was very well informed and attentive, and the food was excellent. I would also suggest asking for wine recommendations as there are some interesting options, including some wines from Hungary produced by our waiter's father!
