| - Good food quality but at low cost; win-win situation for us!! We went to La Petite Adresse on a rainy day, which might explain why the restaurant wasn't packed perhaps... On every table, there were fresh flowers in a vase, which added a little touch of freshness and warmth to the restaurant. The menu was in French but the waiter (I think he was the owner) tried to explained everything in English and made recommendations to my friends as well.
I gave a 4/5 because the service was kind of slow... The owner was the only one cooking, serving, etc. He was basically alone doing everything, which explained the slow service. But, the owner was very welcoming, approachable and helpful!
One of his recommendations was: the Oeuf en cocotte aux tomates & poivrons confits avec merguez ($12). My friend ordered that and he enjoyed it so much that he went have a little chat with the owner! He said the quality of the ingredients exceeds the amount we paid!
The owner recommended another dish to my other friend: L'ultime Grilled cheese pancetta, fromage suisse, oignons caramélisés, Granny Smith accompagné de salade mesclun ($13). He said this is one of his favorites! I tried a bite and liked it! Their grilled cheese was really good! There were a lot of bacons inside and the bread was so crunchy yet not hard like a rock! It had a different flavors (a little bit of sweetness) because of the Granny Smith. My friend really liked her grilled cheese because it is not something you can get elsewhere!
My other friend ordered the salmon in spices and black pepper with green beans and beurre blanc ($15) I don't remember the name of this dish but if you want to order this, I guess you can show a picture to the owner or tell him it is the salmon dish... I remember the salmon melted in my mouth. It was a pretty good dish but nothing "special" if that is what you are looking for.
I didn't know what to order and I opted for their Sandwichs à l'effiloché de porc confit & salade de choux maison ($11). I normally don't order sandwich in a restaurant because I don't really like to use my hands to eat.. I tried to use a fork and a knife but it was way too hard to eat a sandwich with utensils! Although I don't normally have something for sandwiches but this one was really yummy! There were a lot a lot of meat inside and the bread was once again crunchy but not hard and difficult to eat!
