Petit Robert French Bistro is a fantastic neighborhood gem! It's almost unheard of for restaurants in the Boston area to offer free valet parking! That's a major plus.
Hors D'oeuvres
I enjoyed the fresh oysters on the half shell served with mignonette sauce.
We also enjoyed the tender escargot served in sizzling parsley butter.
The lobster bisque was terrific. It was surprisingly spicy. I enjoyed the little punch.
Entrees
The Cassoulet was amazing! Moist lamb, tender navy beans, red bell peppers, and stewed tomato topped with a succulent duck leg quarter (confit) and pork sausage. I ordered a side of sauteed spinach which was a perfect complement to this perfect dish.
NOTE: Petite Robert has a decent list of champagne by the glass.
My friends both ordered salmon dishes. The grilled salmon special was good, served with a creamy dill sauce, grilled endive (which was awesome), mediocre mashed potatoes, and a sprig of fresh dill.
The Salmon Cordon Bleu was different; stuffed with the perfect amount of Swiss cheese and endive, served with broccoli and those mediocre mashed potatoes. Both dishes are a must try!
Desserts
The Mousse au Chocolat was just so-so.I enjoyed the vanilla wafer accompaniment better.
The vanilla creme brulee was fantastic! Rich and creamy with a perfect torched sugar topping.
I'm dying to try the Grand Marnier souffle!
The service was great! Kudos to our server Brendan on ending his first week on a high note!
Did I mention FREE VALET?
