"Local French bakery chainlet, Petite Provence, is more than just flaky croissants and crusty baguettes — it’s also a convincing boulangerie, complete with wicker chairs and rustic country charm. The restaurant serves a breakfast and lunch menu of soups, sandwiches, and Benedicts, with dinner service at select spots. All locations serve the French onion soup, though, prepared classically with beef consomme and sweet, browned onions, topped with a toasted round of Provence bread and Parmesan and Swiss cheeses. It’s available by the cup or bowl." - Krista Garcia
