For those looking for a bona fide Parisian café experience in the South End, Petit Robert Bistro delivers all the charm and taste of a weekend in the city of lights without ever leaving The Hub.

This lively eatery on Columbus Avenue serves up traditional French cuisine and impeccable hospitality, and it’s the ideal spot for some shared hors d'oeuvres, soupes, salades, and entrées for anyone longing to take a stroll down the Seine.

The welcoming dining room can accommodate an intimate dinner for two or a night out with friends and family, just know you’ll have to share the space with their loyal following of South Enders who have relied on Petit Robert for romantic evenings and special events since they opened in 2005.

Find a table near the large windows facing the street to take in the hubbub on the busy sidewalks, or, in warmer months, find a spot on the patio to take in the view of the Union Church right across the street, a Gothic revival structure that gives off major Notre Dame energy.
