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.

Tres beau restaurant, typique d'un restaurant parisien. Decor authentique & soigné.
Belle variété d'entrées, plats & desserts avec des options végétariennes.
Plat goûtus, bien travaillés. Des vins absolument incroyables à un prix tout à fait correct. Le détail est la, les plats sont servis dans des assiettes bien chaudes & joliment présentées. Portion en parfaite quantité & produits de qualité.
Je conseille complètement pour une petite soirée, sans trop de prétention, juste pour passer un bon moment !

Nice french restaurant with great quality & delicious food! The place has the vintage decor matching with the building history & the cabaret hall next to it, making you feel like in a different century. Good service overall & we'd love to go back.
