Petit Robert Bistro in Boston's South End is a little taste of France in a city that offers very little authentic French cuisine. On a hot summer night, we skipped the outdoor seating for the air conditioned bar area, decorated with granite cafe tables, creamy yellow walls, and red banquettes. The French staff sang along to the French that was music playing, and offered friendly, timely service.
The vegetable pâte was an adventurous selection since I typically think it's a texture violation. It still is for me, but others may enjoy it. Our dinner selections of pan seared scallops and pan seared cod were delicious and were followed with dessert of crepes suzette and peach cake. Unfortunately my husband's Irish coffee was lukewarm.
Petit Robert falls somewhere between fine and fabulous. The food was quite tasty, but the less than hot coffee and view of Columbus Ave's roadwork wasn't very welcoming. Despite that, it's worth trying again.
