Review Summary

Au Petit Extra is widely recognized as a classic destination for authentic French cuisine in a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Many patrons praise the restaurant for its consistently delicious dishes, such as the duck confit, beef tartare, and crème brûlée, as well as an impressive and well-curated wine list. While the majority of visitors experience professional and friendly service, some reviews point to inconsistencies, particularly regarding longer wait times during peak hours or moments when service felt unpolished. The restaurant remains a popular choice for pre-show dining, though guests occasionally advise allowing extra time to ensure a relaxed experience. Although the vast majority of feedback is positive and highlights the restaurant as a long-standing favorite, some diners have noted occasional issues with food preparation, portion sizes, or noise levels when the venue is full.

Un classique ! Menu à la française très bien réalisé. Idéal si on va au Lion d'or après !

Un classique ! Indémodable & toujours pertinent. Les prix des plats sont encore abordables, le service est précis sans trop appuyé. Excellente cuisine.

Un bistro chaleureux où se ravitailler avec bonheur. On y retrouve une cuisine française classique de qualité bien généreuse. Le décor donne l'impression d'être dans un cabaret des années anciennes. Je recommande sans hésiter ce restaurant!

Menu classique mais inintéressant, exécution très moyenne, rognons manquants de tendreté & canard confit sec, service courtois mais avec de l'attente & des maladresses.
