Boston's super cute French bistro đ«đ·
đ„ Petit Robert Bistro: South Endâs Charming French SpotâVibes Over Flavor Bostonâs South End is packed with cute gastropubs, perfect for dates or girlâs brunches. Thereâs Gigiâs legendary burrata, Ilonaâs mouthwatering kebab, Greystoneâs unbeatable almond croissant⊠and now, this little French bistro, discovered during a meetup with a TikTok friend. Itâs adorable, but letâs be real: the ambiance outshines the food. đ The Hits Escargots (Baked Snails): đ The standout. Garlicky, buttery, and served with warm, crusty breadâwe polished off two baskets of bread just sopping up that sauce. Rich, savory, and exactly what you want from French comfort food. Eggs Benedict: đł Solid, if not spectacular. The poached eggs are runny (correct), the hollandaise creamy, and the side fries are crispy with a good salt kick. Itâs a âsafeâ brunch dishâno complaints, just no âwowâ factor. Cocktails: đ„ Surprisingly good. We tried a gin-based and a tequila-based drinkâboth bright, fresh, and not too sweet. Theyâre light enough for a morning sip, with just enough kick to feel like a treat. Perfect for easing into the weekend. â The Misses French Toast: đ A letdown. I had high hopes, but itâs dry, tough, and barely soaked in custard. Even the fruit toppings feel thrown onâno care, no flair. Skip it. Chicken Liver Appetizer: đ The liver itself is okay (creamy, not gamey), but pairing it with two slices of lunch meat? Confusing and underwhelming. It kills the dishâs elegance. âš The Vibe Ambiance: 5/5. Cute, cozy, and quintessentially Frenchâthink checkered tablecloths, warm lighting, and that âneighborhood bistroâ charm. Itâs ideal for photos or lazy chats over drinks. Food: 3/5. Hits and misses, but nothing memorable. Itâs clear the focus is on the mood, not culinary innovation. Budget Score: 3/5. ~$50+ per person feels steep for âjust okayâ food. But if youâre after a cute spot for mimosas and vibes, it works. Petit Robert Bistro isnât a foodie destination, but itâs a lovely place to linger. Go for the snails, stay for the cocktails, and soak up that South End charm. đ Petit Robert Bistro 480 Columbus Ave, Boston, MA 02118 #BostonBrunch #FrenchBistro #SouthEndEats
