Straightforward bistro provides Kenmore Square with an affordable, accessible destination for French cuisine and gourmet desserts.

The Scene
With a casual atmosphere, sinful subterranean pastry bar and classic menu, Petit Robert matches any Boston bistro in terms of authenticity. The main upstairs dining room's seductive lighting goes hand-in-hand with the open kitchen's alluring specialties. When the weather allows, diners enjoy their mussels marinieres and homemade pate on a sunken patio. Pleasant servers gleefully explain that the signature Dirty French Chef cocktail combines Kahlua and rhubarb juice in a balsamic vinegar-rimmed martini glass.

The Food
Francophiles with a hankering for a meal of onion soup gratinee, beef bourguignon and apple tarte tatin need not break the bank, as the bistro keeps its prices on the low side (all entrees are under $20). Other bistro classics on offer include a flavorful tripe provencale, savory escargots bourguignon and roast rabbit moutarde. Those with a sweet tooth enjoy the pastry bar's made-to-order lemon souffle or a rich chocolate gateau with a chocolate Eiffel Tower.
