"I had the perfect Parisian lunch with one of my best friends at Le Petit Lutetia, a brasserie by Jean-Louis Costes. Our definition of perfect, by the way? A place that serves a healthy pour of red wine and excellent steak frites, among a fashionable crowd that provides excellent people-watching." - Elise Taylor

"La Petit Lutetia has become a favorite ever since it was taken over and face-lifted by Jean-Louis Costes, the man behind city institutions Hôtel Costes and La Société. The décor is still that of a classic Paris bistro, with charming mirrored walls, monogrammed dishes, haphazard stacks of newspapers, and too-small tables. While the food is certainly good, you're here for the people-watching, an endless parade of beautifully outfitted Parisians ducking out for cigarettes between courses and drinking seemingly endless glasses of red wine like water.

Went here on a recommendation by local friends and really enjoyed it. Make a reservation online as it does get busy, though on a Thursday after 9pm walking in seemed possible. Best tables are outside or close to outside with fresh air. Service is great and most speak decent English if you don’t speak French. The steak tartare is possibly the best we’ve had and we’ve had lots of it over many years. It’s perfectly airy with just enough sauce. Delicious. We also tried frogs legs, snails, artichoke, crème brûlée, and the popular chocolate mousse. All the dishes come in large portions so keep this in mind. Wish the mousse came in smaller portions! It comes in a size for 2, 3 or 4 but the one for 2 already easily feeds 4 people.

Great food! We arrived at a very busy time so the service was a little slow as to be expected. Our server was lovely, we shared a pasta dish and he split it into 2 dishes for us which was helpful! The escargots were gorgeous and we ordered the smoked salmon blini entree which came with a really generous portion of salmon.

One of the best restaurants that we tried in Paris. The frog legs were the best dish that we had. It’s amazing and with an incredible butter sauce. Good liver and good duck also. And the rice pudding was surprisingly, specially for me that I’m not that in to this desert. You should reserve to get a table but it really worth it.

10/10 experience at Le Petit Lutetia. Fantastic, authentic French cuisine with many tasty, traditional dishes. We especially enjoyed the bone marrow, calf liver, and beef wellington - all very tasty. Great service & ambience as well, would recommend for anyone in the area

We had a fantastic experience at Le Petit Lutetia! We made a reservation in advance, and as soon as we arrived, our table was ready, no waiting at all. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the crispy duck, which was perfectly cooked, super tender and packed with flavor. My wife and I shared a chocolate mousse for dessert, it was delicious! The portion was huge, easily enough for four people. Great atmosphere, top-notch service, and incredible food. Definitely a must-visit in Paris!

We were amazed at this restaurant. Been living in Paris for 4 months and have struggled to find somewhere with this high quality. We had the frogs legs, french fries, and the duck for mains. These were delicious, the waiter helped us decide what to get with his recommendations, and they were spot on. Really incredible spot, and the complimentary bread and butter were also superb and very fresh! Definitely top notch ingredients used. For dessert we shared the profiteroles. We shared it between two and that was perfect as the portion is generous! Overall, fantastic service from all staff involved! 👏🏼 a true 10/10

Le Petit Lutetia is a charming restaurant with a warm atmosphere. I had lunch there on a Sunday and felt very comfortable dining alone. The food was excellent, and the service was attentive. Highly recommended.
