Petit Robert Bistro Description:
Chef Jacky Robert, formerly of the late Maison Robert, opened this casual French bistro in the spring of 2005.
The main dining room is down several steps from street level, but there are large windows in front. The open kitchen occupies the rear of the restaurant. A second dining room and the pastry bar occupy the lower level.
Jacky Robert's two-story bistro is set in a brownstone at the edge of Kenmore Square and aims to provide a relatively affordable, casual option for Francophiles. To that end, Robert and his crew turn out classic workmen's lunches like croque monsieurs, crêpes and omelets, as well as the wonderfully messy burgerdog en baguette. Hearty simplicity defines the dinner menu, too, from the house pâté assortment to tripe Provençale to calf's liver sautéed with bacon and onion. Best of all for sweet-toothed sorts, the subterranean pastry bar serves up its meticulously detailed confections---from crunchy-chewy macaroons served in their own chocolate box to a rustic tarte Tatin---the whole day long.
