01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

At Bistro Petit Lapin, the pleasure begins with choosing a starter. The “small horse mackerel and pommes de terre, mosaic style” layers the fish’s gentle saltiness with lightly seasoned potatoes, all wrapped in bacon-like meat. One diner wrote that the vegetables beneath it also made a lasting impression.

For a main course, one distinctive option is a hamburger-style patty of Kyohoku venison and foie gras wrapped in crépine. A traveller who chose the small horse mackerel starter recalled the main course’s rich flavour and the care taken with its accompaniments, including quinoa-stuffed peppers. The menu also features roast venison. Another diner described the venison roast as tender and mild, making it an appealing choice for anyone curious to compare the venison dishes.

For dessert, one diner recalled ordering tarte Tatin, a choice they made without hesitation. They also remembered the pairing of coffee with a buttery-flavoured biscuit. Dessert is listed as the dessert of the day, so ask what is available if you would like to finish your meal on a sweet note.

Lunch courses are available too. One diner reported enjoying a meal that included a starter, main course and dessert, along with coffee or tea and a small piece of bread. Another remembered the lunchtime hamburger: denser in meat than its appearance suggested, and served with carefully prepared vegetables. You can opt for a set lunch or choose individual dishes, depending on what you feel like.

À la carte dishes with wine are another way to dine here. The restaurant offers wine by the glass and by the bottle, and diners have mentioned ordering venison and charcuterie. It has also been described as a small bistro with limited seating, so you may want to consider booking for dinner.
