   Great little French bistro. Food is simple but wonderful. A place where you can actually have a conversation with your family and friends at the dining table.. Wine list, service ambiance are all way above average. And all of this is reasonably priced too!

   Food and service from Chef Alain was exceptional. We enjoyed White Fish and Calf Liver. Wonderful date night. Really seemed like a Parisian Bistro.

   This was the first time I have eaten there. It is truly a 'hidden gem'! It is 'off the beaten path', but totally worth the effort to find. I have been to Paris on a number of occasions and eaten at some fantastic bistros/brasseries (e.g., Bofinger), and Le Petit Paris is in the same class. What a pleasant dining experience. I will return soon!!

   The owner was so rude it was hard to believe. I have never been treated this way before and at almost 75 years old I’ve had a lot of experience in restaurants. When we left I went home and read all of the owner’s reviews and I couldn’t believe what I was reading. There were some good reviews and a good number that read like our experience and some where the owner treated people worse then us. Needless to say we will never go back to this establishment and would pass our experience along to our friends.

   Our third visit. More planned. A real gem. One in our party (her first visit) was starting to get impatient waiting for the next course out of habit. I told her she is now in Paris and to enjoy it. She changed attitude and we all had a lovely dinner and experience. The food, the wine, the ambiance and the service were exemplary. H. Orlov

   Another absolutely wonderful night at Le Petit Paris. Birthday celebration for our dear friend was made even more special thanks to our charming friend and owner Alain, who makes every meal feel like coming home. His warmth and charm add to the great dining experience. Best French onion soup you will ever have! Every dish is a delight followed by an apple tart that is divine. You may even encounter some very notable Chicagoans seated at the next table! Truly an exceptional place to dine!!!!

   Super find in north Mag Mile. 3 blocks east of Hancock Tower, but inside you are in Paris. Everything, including chef and server brings one to Paris. Small but interesting french wine selections by glass. Food was stunning and memorable, and quite affordable. Chef is authentic, and Charming. Just loved it here.

    Always love coming here when I’m in Chicago. It’s a very special and unique corner of the world. Usually I get fish (always good) but had steak frites this time. It was SO good - best frites ever. Can’t wait to have again. Kathy

    A French bistro in an unexpected location. Small but adequate menu, good food, reasonable prices and nice ambiance. The waiter provides additional authenticity (no, he's not as gruff as his Parisian brethren).

    Truly French! Leisurely tempo of service order right away if you are in a hurry. Alan is very efficient as both waiter and bartender. He has great recommendations and knows the wines which are very fairly priced. Not more than48 seats- an intimate and quaint space.

    I had a confirmed Open Table reservation. When I arrived, the owner said I did not have a reservation and, although there were empty tables, said he could not take me. We waited around and he eventually and reluctantly seated us. Like always, the food was very good. When we were leaving he told us that we spoiled his evening by coming without a reservation. I do not think he coordinates with Open Table nor does he respect reservations made through Open Table.

    Authentic French food. We love Le Petit Paris and schedule our dinner whenever we get to visit Chicago. Atlanta has great food, but a trip to Le Petit Paris is a MUST when we are in town. Alain is attentive to everyone that comes to his restaurant and makes certain that your dining experience is superb! Excellent!!!!

    We had another wonderful time dining at Le Petite Paris! This time we were able to take our son and daughter-in-law traveling from Boston to experience a true French meal in the heart of downtown Chicago! The food is always fantastic and you truly cannot beat their wine prices. Added Bonus! :-)

    Le Petit Paris is the absolute hidden jewel in Chicago dining. I have had many incredible dinners with family and friends and the reviews from one and all are stellar. The food is outstanding and The owner and operator Alain Sutbon is the most charming and hardworking man in town. His attention to detail and service have impressed everyone we invite to dine at Le Petit Paris. His beautiful French accent adds to the old world feel and for a few hours you are in Paris! Hidden in a condo building lobby it is a favorite to those of us who live in the neighborhood, but should be explored by everyone looking for exceptional food in a quiet atmosphere perfect for a conversation over an excellent meal. I am certain if you try it once you will be hooked!! Steven

The atmosphere is one of a kind - after having come time and again it is always a wonderful evening, and I leave already looking forward to the next visit.

    Le Petit Paris is now our first choice for entertaining guests and for the cuisine we love...French. The owner, who is also the chef and sometimes the server, is charming, informative and attentive. The ambiance is the best of any restaurant we've been to here in Chicago: the layout, the beautiful furniture, the lighting, even the bathrooms. You feel like you've entered someone's small, private home. We'll be back soon1 We ate there 3 weeks ago for the first time and have been back twice since.
