After all these years, Au Petit Paris is still the gold standard for classic F rench cuisine on the Eastern Costa. Alain ze chef and his missus Francoise deliver the authentic experience with the minimum of fuss, a lot of grace, and great consistency. Personal favourites include Coquilles St Jacques when in season, Salade Perigourdine, Tournedos Rossini or Chateaubriand, Rack of Lamb, Daurade, Creme Brulee with a hint of ginger, Tarte Tatin and a supporting cast of exquisite puddings and perfectly conditioned French cheeses. The mark up on their wines can look a little steep , but pause to consider that they do import a good selection of French wines, from good years, to sit alongside Spanish choices that offer cheaper options. And you can always rely on the house wines. Francoise is very generous with digestif liqueur measures – be warned. They also have bistro and special menus to suit customers who do not want to push the boat out. It is perfect for intimate special occasions, wedding anniversaries, St Valentine’s Day (book well ahead), and booking in advance is advised. There is an outdoor terrace for the hotter months. What’s not to like?
