04/10/2026: It went very well, and it was a pleasant surprise.
My partner had booked a table for my birthday on that exact date, and the only remaining time slot was 11 pm, which was a bit late.
We placed our orders, and due to a misunderstanding, the waiter thought we were ordering main courses, when we were still on the appetizers.
Then, when it came time to order our main courses, we were told that the kitchen was closed… Fortunately, the staff was kind enough to serve us side dishes despite the kitchen being closed (the amazing mashed potatoes we always come for), which they made for us free of charge, as well as the desserts.
It was a somewhat unusual meal with mashed potatoes as the only course, but delicious nonetheless! And the professionalism of the staff was a real pleasure, as it always is when we come.
It was a wonderful birthday, and I wasn't disappointed at all (coming to Le Petit Lutetia and not getting my mashed potatoes would have been a huge letdown!).
03/10/2026: I love coming to Petit Lutetia. This was actually my first time here for lunch, as I usually come for dinner.
Everything was very good. I skipped the starter and had the radishes with butter, as always, then went straight for the steak au poivre — one of my favorite dishes in Paris. I ordered it with fries and spinach. The spinach was absolutely delicious; the fries were just OK.
Always a great choice. Definitely recommend!
