This tiny French bistro with its unassuming exterior behind Mohandiseen's Shooting Club has received high praise for its food and atmosphere. With deep wood accents and soft lighting hidden behind frosted cupboard doors, this tiny and stylish restaurant actually set an intimate scene for a romantic dinner for two - if not for the boisterous cluster seated beside us.
The French music, old movie posters and classic bar lend a bit of authenticity. Despite its small size and the potential disruption, it is also nice that there are enough benches to host a small group or two. The service, but, is slightly intrusive; it had been annoying when the waiter rearranged the table setting whereas we tend to were still enjoying their freshly baked bread and the subsequent course wasn't yet ready.
They brought us a bitter olive tapenade with slices of toasted baguette to start before our appetisers of shrimps in saffron sauce, and what we tend to thought was an order of chicken liver with mushrooms and blue cheese however turned out to be a chicken liver pat? amid minced mushroom and blue cheese spreads.
Despite its unimpressive look in little egg cups, the chicken liver pat? was quite flavourful and included deliciously sweet caramelised onions. Too unhealthy it solely came with three [*fr1]-slices of multigrain bread, forcing us to wait for our bread basket to be replenished. The shrimps were additional disappointing, floating on their own in an inconsistent yellow sauce that tasted of faucet water.
Our mains fared better. The grilled beef fillet with herb butter and scalloped potatoes au gratin, and the meat fillet with foie gras and Madeira sauce, hazelnut potatoes and mushrooms weren't fantastic, but we had no major complaints... except that the foie gras was a very little too made, the potatoes were unusually dry and therefore the mushrooms were bitter and drenched in a sauce that once more tasted of faucet water. The second fillet was a fantastically juicy slab of meat that we have a tendency to must give proper kudos to.
To finish our meal, we tend to determined on profiteroles however not without the intervention of the French manager, who gave us a jolt when she magically appeared at our table, but proved to be completely kind and charming with an accent that might have made Maurice Chevalier jealous. She managed to make everything sound delectable, and also the dessert was indeed the simplest part of this meal; three lightweight, crispy pastries crammed with home-created vanilla ice cream- simply one of many home-made flavours- and a warm chocolate sauce poured on prime created it refreshing and delicious.
We tend to extremely needed to love Au Petit Bistro more than we tend to did, and whereas it definitely has its strengths, we have a tendency to're not sure what all the fuss is about. The restaurateurs definitely understand what they're doing: Au Petit Bistro is owned by the same folks that brought us Maison Thomas, La Trattoria and Charwoods. Perhaps Au Petit just wasn't our slice of pate, except for 450LE on a dinner for 2 without alcohol, we tend to suppose we were expecting a very little bit more.
