"Petite Violette has been serving French comfort food for nearly five decades—and the appeal isn’t flashy innovation. It’s nostalgia. The family-run spot feels like stepping into a fancy time capsule, with gleaming chandeliers, floral cushions that look like they were borrowed from your great aunt’s sunroom, and bleach-white tablecloths that’ve seen many family dinners." - Jacinta Howard
"It doesn’t get more classically French in Atlanta than Petite Violette. The swanky Clairmont Road institution has been serving up staples like coq au vin and foie gras for nearly 50 years and shows no signs of slowing down. In a twist on tradition, the venue recently revamped its offerings with an interactive Murder Mystery Dinner Theater experience ($75 per person) on Friday and Saturday nights paired with a four-course French feast and a glass of wine, bien sûr." - Sarah Bisacca
"The longtime French restaurant swings open for Thanksgiving once again offering a special holiday menu, including roast turkey, boeuf bourguignon, and apple caramel bread pudding. $60 to $80 per person, depending on the four-course menu chosen. Three-course children’s menu available for $10 per child. Reservations highly encouraged." - Eater Staff
"Cozy, indulgent Taurus types will feel at home at Petite Violette, a bistro on Clairmont Road; I’d choose from the vast red and white wine selection or try cocktails like “Spring in Paris” (gin with peach and lemon balsamic, Crème de Peche, and sparkling wine) or an Olive & Herb Martini." - Denise K. James
"French restaurant Petite Violette’s bread pudding holds its own against an already impressive roster of desserts. Whiskey butter sauce and vanilla ice cream join forces to highlight this unforgettable rendition of the classic dessert." - Sarra Sedghi
