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.

Service exceptionnel! Je suis venu avec un ami qui est des Etats-Unis. Il a tombé en amour avec la decoration & l'ambiance (ca lui rappelle de Paris!). Les serveurs étaient respectueux, amicable & patient. La nourriture était excellent!

Au petit extra est désormais mon resto préféré ! Le service y est professionnel & chaleureux, les serveurs portent tous le même uniforme, ce que j'apprécie beaucoup, ils sont fort accueillants & pleins d'esprit, j'adore ! & la nourriture est toujours tellement délicieuse ! Vos grands classiques, même s'ils portent ce nom, ne sont pas blasants, ni juste réconfortants : ils sont toujours surprenants ! J'adore l'ambiance & le décor du resto. Seul bémol : il est trop loin de chez moi pour que j'y aille plus souvent...
