Two friends and I met there to have dinner and catch up on each other's lives. Petit Louis Bistro is exactly that; it's loud and lively. So if you want a quiet, intimate evening, this is not the place for you. Everything that we ordered was excellent. We stuck to the menu, although some of the evening's specials sounded interesting.... More

There are not many French restaurants in Baltimore (I can think of one in Ellicott City), so this is a treat. It has a real bistro feel, the tables are small, close together; but the menu is great. The waiters are very professional and I've never been disappointed in the food.

We love going to Petit Louis. The environment is very cozy and friendly. The staff is well trained and extremely helpful but never pushy. The food is more French country style, very tasty and it does not leave you hungry. The wine selection is quite extensive and the cheeses are superb. Some items on the menu are classics that require... More

French onion soup is awesome. My husband had beef , I had chicken. Both were excellent. If you like juicy well seasoned chicken this was some of the best I've had and paired with greens and artichokes it was excellent. Very attentive waiters, wine stewards. Best bread and butter, yes the butter was very very good. Dessert was Awesome. Lemon... More

We have been going to Petit Louis for years, and can say it just gets better and better. Last visit was for our anniversary and we asked for a quiet table away from the more lively part of the restaurant which is just what we got - along with delicious food and helpful obliging service. The Maitre D. and Sommelier... More

Cheese tray for a dessert option carried a large variety of cheeses, everything from mild and odorless to pungent and extremely flavorful. Wine list is impressive. Seating can be a... More

We come here occasionally and it is a place for locals so the food is generally good - and a place to see and be seen in a casual/comfortable atmosphere. One of us had the duck - which was fine. The other had the ribs special - now that was 50% plus fat (not edible). And the portions are not... More

Loved Petit Louis! We had an amazing meal and were seated right in front of the fireplace. The food and service were fabulous. The Maitre'd Patrick was wonderful, friendly and accomodating. I would highly recommend Petit Louis Bistro!

Have been dining here for years and the service and food keep me and my friends coming back. No risk coming here so I feel comfort sending gift certificates to friends and colleagues. Only complaint,it's always crowded so it get's loud. Also, if you are tall or big or both, the seats are more suited to smaller people.
