- TToddVIPAustin •21 reviews4.0Dined on Jun 4, 2025I had been meaning to go for some time. I sat at the bar and the bartender was very nice and accommodating. I wouldn't recommend sitting at the bar because you end up looking at the Tiny Grocer's space which while clean lacks any charm while eating. The food was generally solid. The escargot's were very good but not super hot. Similarly the frites that came with the burger were warm not hot. The BDP Burger was very good and cooked to perfection. The bacon jam was an excellent touch. Great Hyde Park addition.More infoBureau de Poste at Tiny GrocerPrice: Moderate• French• North Central•4.2
