    What it lacks in space it more than makes up for in sumptuous French cuisine, artisanal cocktails, and Europop classics. Additionally It's location makes it a frequent stop for free range celebrities.

    Much more than just a simple cheese fry plate, Petit Trois’ mornay frites brings French decadence in the form of béchamel and gruyere over what may be some of the city’s best fries. Read more

    Having chef Ludo Lefebvre behind the bar, whipping up a decadent true French omelette, cooked slow using salty French butter and lots of movement, certainly helps makes Petit Trois so sought after.

    Eater '16 BEST BURGER: Big Mec - Bordelaise & garlic aioli, caramelized onions, & Am cheese do not overwhelm the 2steak-strength, prime beef patties that demand knife/fork; brioche bun mops up sauces

    Ludo Lefebvre’s runs this tiny, open-all-day, card-only, walk-in-only spot. In his hands classics like rolled omelets, butter-drenched burgundy escargot, and croque monsieurs have refinement and moxie Read more

    Petit Trois has already become the most talked about French restaurant in the city. Try the omelette, steak frites, escargot; pretty much everything on the tight menu is worth ordering. Read more

    Petit Trois serves the best omelet in the known universe, but it also serves escargot and croque monsieur and steak frites that are simply stunning in their decadence and perfection. Read more

    This restaurant is worth all of the hype. Get the Omelet, the Steak au Poivre and the Big Mec. But there's really nothing not incredible on the menu. LUDO!

    Unpretentious and very solid French spot right next door to its older brother Trois Mec. The decor and the atmosphere are exactly what they need to be. The cheese plate is extra dope, so is the music.

    Not a bad wait if you have 3 or less people. The food is delicious - on the sweet side for the French onion soup and the mussels. Escargot was delicious and service is great

    Great French bistro food from Ludo Lefebvre in a strip mall. Try the perfect omelette and burger. But it's all good.

    Delightful French bistro with amazing food, great wine selection, and delicious cocktails. The menu is limited (and leans a bit more toward lunch) but you can't go wrong!

    The theme is classic French, with options like croque monsieurs, escargots, steak tartare and crème caramel. The look? That of a brasserie outfitted with an open kitchen counter, checkered floors. Read more

    Escargot is a must, as is the chocolate mousse. The French Onion Soup looked amazing and is next on list to try.

    The cocktails are great. The endive salad and the bread were outstanding. The Americano was stiff and better than most fancy coffee stores

    This tiny spot lives up to its name. Great food though. Try a French dessert like a Paris brest.

    Big mec! It’s good but so heavy. I ended up only eating a quarter of it. The steak tartare is interesting, not a big fan. The flambé pasta is surprisingly refreshing and zesty. Fries were meh.

    They put a bunch of things we didn't have on our check. The food was good but not great-way too fatty. Even if you don't mind lots of butter in your food-too much.
