| - La Petite France is so quaint and cute!! It is pretty tucked away in a nice outdoor shopping strip (curse AZ strip malls), which is kind of nice to be off the busy road. The down side is I am not sure how much impromptu traffic they get, which is why I need to get the word out. It would be horrible if this place went away.
I found this La Petite France on a mission for a new brunch spot, some of the central Scottsdale/Old Town Scottsdale places are too packed with poor service and food that is just okay and like anywhere else. When I saw fresh crepes and chocolate croissants on the menu I had to come check it out.
Take the effort to find it (many other breakfast options)! Park your car and basically walk to the middle of the shopping corridor and you will find La Petite France.
I sat down and was immediately poured a glass of water and they set a full bottle of water on the table for me. I was informed of the daily specials, which all sounded quite delicious. I ended up opting for the croissant plate with coffee. MMMMMmmmmmm I was not disappointed; the croissants were so buttery and flaky!! Get the chocolate croissant.
A friend of mine happened to be walking by on a weekend walk, so I invited her to join me. It turns out my server was the owner and he told us all about new changes happening with the menu. They have an actual French chef, meaning he is from France. The staff is outstanding: very nice, professional, yet amazingly 'neighborhoody' for a Scottsdale restaurant.
Review #2: Before I finished my review draft I came back to LPF! That is a testament to how great this place is in my book. The owner told me about the mussels when he was talking about the menu at my breakfast visit, so Friday instead of happy hour with my girl Kristen, we decided on wine and mussels. La Petite France can do mussels 3 different ways...we opted for the traditional white wine, garlic, etc. We wanted to lick the bowl clean!!! The bread is house made and fantastic! The mussels were of course good, but it was the 'broth' around the mussels that we dipped the bread in that had us drooling. I am going to have to come back and try the other two mussel dishes.
Also two tables near us had the Le Filet du Pechuer (serves 2 people), which is basically a soup with various kinds of fish, squid and shellfish that smelled AMAZING as it went by on the cart. The one table told us we have to come back just for that dish, and said they come here regularly just for it. Did I mention they have rack of lamb too...looks like I have quite a few trips back to La Petite France in my future!
