Indy French Treasure

Indy’s Hidden French Gem: Petite Chou Bistro – Delicious Bites Despite Small Flaws 🥐🍷 Craving French cuisine lately, I stumbled upon Petite Chou Bistro & Champagne Bar—with a 4.5/5 online rating, slightly lukewarm reservation service, but surprisingly tasty food that’s worth sharing! ✨ What Works Solid French Flavors: Core dishes stay true to classic French cuisine, with fresh ingredients and thoughtful combinations. Great Atmosphere: Despite a slightly dated interior, the vibe is warm and fitting for a French bistro—perfect for a nice meal. Standout Sides & Seafood: Fries and fresh fish are highlights, showing attention to texture and quality. 🍴 Dish Breakdown Appetizer Steak Tartare: Delicious with a balanced meat flavor (not overpowering). The only letdown is the bread—it’s overly hard, even scratchy on the mouth. Would be perfect with softer bread! Main Courses Steak Frites: The fries are amazing—crispy and addictive! Splurge on the truffled parmesan upgrade; it takes the fries to the next level. The steak (ordered medium) looks small but is surprisingly filling. It was a touch overcooked, so medium-rare is recommended for next time. Fish Du Nuit: Fresh fish that wowed on the first bite! It pairs beautifully with the creamy mashed potatoes underneath. The downside? The accompanying greens are overly bitter, which detracts a bit. Worth Trying Next Time Mussels Meuniere: Looks incredibly abundant with plump mussels—highly recommended for mussel lovers (many diners ordered it!). 📌 Practical Info 🏠 Name: Petite Chou Bistro & Champagne Bar📍 Address: 823 E Westfield Blvd, Indianapolis, IN 46220 Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) Pro Tips: Ask for softer bread with the steak tartare; order steak medium-rare; skip the greens under the fish if you dislike bitterness. #FrenchBistro #HiddenGem #IndyFood #FrenchCuisine
