Walk into a slice of heaven from the mean streets of a busy city. Super chill, real and true. The food is absolutely amazing. I am very pleased and will be back. This is not your average fast paced place to eat. Sit down and chill.

Super charming and super delicious! We had the pork chops, calf liver, of course had to try the escargot, and everything was authentic and served warmly by the owner. We will definitely be back! Perfect for a date night!

A very unique, unexpected, and charming experience! Total hidden gem. Le Petit Paris is a small, cozy, and unassuming French bistro in the bottom of a Streeterville condo building. Be patient because you’ll be seated when they’re ready for you - and they’re typically running 15-20 mins behind. To start, we had a really good Caesar salad, amazing baked escargot, and the coziest French onion soup. Entrees are very well priced for the size and great quality. Highly recommend the Coq Au Vin and the Duck a l’orange. This isn’t your traditional dining experience.

Food is delicious. Pricing very reasonable. Environment is intimate and quiet. The owner serves and can be prickly. I'll return and hope he's having a good day :)
