French restaurant · Hyde Park

"Tucked away in the Hyde Park Shopping Center is this classic French bistro that’s been around for more than 20 years. With its white tablecloths and slightly haughty air of authenticity, La Petite Folie is the neighborhood venue to visit to mark a special occasion. Recommended faves: smoked trout with warm potato salad, steak au poivre, and Basque chicken that’s accompanied by saffron rice." - Audarshia Townsend
