Contribute Feedback What Erica likes about Bistrot La Minette:
When they say that Philadelphia is the Frenchiest city, they are absolutely directly talking about this restaurant. Traditional French menu items that are absolutely cooked to perfection and have interesting flavors. High-quality ingredients. I highly recommend the escargot, scallops, trout, and literally any dessert. Much better than many of the French staples around the city. View all feedback.
What OpenTable Diner doesn't like about Bistrot La Minette:
Honest review: Service was on point, attentive and quick but not overbearing . Excellent service experience. Ambience was really nice . Food: I had the scallops, definitely too bland and not enough flavors in the dish or interesting plating to constitute the price. Escargots were quite good, and the crème brûlée was quite good . Overall, a nice dinner but would recommend a better main course View all feedback.
Fantastic foood!!! Best restaurant week meal everrrr!! I truly enjoy this place although having to wait almost an hour before our reservation time to come in. I think it is close on Monday and Tuesday? It was mostly crowded probably because the food is SUPERB! We started with escargot (snails in butter and herb), and pate on bread and some side berries/fig/cream combination. Overall exciting stuff especially the combination. Main dish was: The roasted duck leg on cherry tomatoes is a must try! It combines the crunchy duck skin and well seasoned meat with sweet plum sauce and fresh tomatoes with a touch of bittle arugula. The other main dish we order was rabbit mustard with tagliatelle which is also very good but not as extraordinary as the duck. The special side dish that day was mac and cheese made with Comte cheese, also divine! Very ooey gooey and has a great smell. The desserts are okish given they sold our their signature creme brulee, but we got the caramelized puff pastry and cognac infuses berries and cheese which are all new tastes to our palate. Overall, very worth it. Spent around $60/person (tax tip included). Check them out!
We went for restaurant week and ordered from the prix fixed menu. Service was absolutely wonderful. Portions of everything was generous. House wine was a great treat alongside our dinner.
I went with my 16 yr old son last night for restaurant week specials for the 1st time. We were greeted and vaccine checked at the door per city guidelines. He is taking French in school as I did and we both wanted to try escargots and have some pretty authentic french cuisine. It was absolutely fantastic. The platings were simple and clean. We started with the escargot and endive salad, our entrees were rabbit and trout and to finish we had THE BEST creme brulee I have had in years....yes almost everywhere offers it now, but most places serve it ice cold (I was taught that is actually wrong) and have hardly no sugar crust to them. This was full coverage and had the perfect crack and was beyond a beautiful finish to a wonderful meal. Will definitely be back for special occasions.
Absolutely delicious! We went for restaurant week and got the poached egg mussels, escargot, trout, rabbit tagliatelle, apple spice cake, and creme brulee. We also ordered the truffle mac cheese a la carte, which was totally worth it because it was one of our favorites! Other favorites were the egg toast, rabbit, and creme brulee, but everything was fantastic!
First impressions: Classy yet cozy Parisian neighborhood gem is a must for locals and out of town visitors alike. Wait staff donned in red vests are friendly as they are pros at hospitality. Tin cladded, high ceiling.. down to the French old school music playing in the background creates the perfect setting to enjoy everything that you?re about to order. The food: Order everything! You won?t regret it! Well seasoned and executed menu at any level are hard to come by? in any city. This is a rare gem.
