I enjoyed this restaurant and the overall atmosphere. The waitstaff is lovely and add to the good time. A nice selection of wines, cocktails, and they even have some nice beers. The food was very good, the only critique would be maybe less foie gras terrine, as it’s so rich you can feel full off of that itself. Not necessarily a bad thing to have. We got the Terrine de foie gras, Filet d’omble chevalier au champagne, Joue de porc façon cassoulet (which was in my opinion the best selection we got and perfect for a raining day), and Gâteau au fromage de style basque. To drink we had Vin à l’ancienne, Ecorce Sauvage, and Crème de Cassis Kir Royale.

My husband and I recently visited Bistrot La Minette in Philadelphia and had an absolutely fantastic experience. We started with the Escargots a la Bourguignonne, which were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. For our entrees, we ordered the Entrecôte et oeufs au plat and the Truite meunière, both of which were incredibly fresh and tasty. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the quality of the food.

Superb dining experience during restaurant week, with no shortcuts taken. The specialty menu had a variety of options for a three course. We opted to add additional items as well. Dish ingredients were rich and savory, while served at a perfect pace. Dining staff went above and beyond.

The food and service here are great. Highly recommend the duck liver (the hot one). Not recommended rabbit. Duck breast and pork cheek are good choices, too.

Been there numerous times and always enjoyed everything but yesterday got the chicken and it was on the dry side. Otherwise, everything else was great.

We stopped in for a late brunch snack and had never heard or been to the restaurant. First, I think the menu is really well priced. I am relatively new to the area and have felt that food has been very overpriced for what you get. Here I felt the menu prices and descriptions really matched the service and quality of food received. Excellent. The waiter was nice and attentive but not too attentive (very French ) which I appreciated. The wine and drink menu looked great the cocktail descriptions were varied but not too experimental (which I appreciate) I like standard cocktails with a twist and accessible ingredients. Second, the portions were perfect the cheese plate and soup were great the bread and butter served was great I was just overall so pleased with this surprising meal.

Bistrot La Minette is one of my favorite restaurants in the city for the delicious food and fantastic service. They never rush you, and it’s always a great experience. We recently held our rehearsal dinner there for our wedding – Maureen was so easy to plan and coordinate with and the service was fantastic, even for a large group of 16.

Absolutely delicious! We went for restaurant week and got the poached egg & mussels, escargot, trout, rabbit tagliatelle, apple spice cake, and creme brulee. We also ordered the truffle mac & cheese a la carte, which was totally worth it because it was one of our favorites! Other favorites were the egg toast, rabbit, and creme brulee, but everything was fantastic!

When they say that Philadelphia is the Frenchiest city, they are absolutely directly talking about this restaurant. Traditional French menu items that are absolutely cooked to perfection and have interesting flavors. High-quality ingredients. I highly recommend the escargot, scallops, trout, and literally any dessert. Much better than many of the French staples around the city.

I went with my 16 yr old son last night for restaurant week specials for the 1st time. We were greeted and vaccine checked at the door per city guidelines. He is taking French in school as I did and we both wanted to try escargots and have some pretty authentic french cuisine. It was absolutely fantastic. The platings were simple and clean. We started with the escargot and endive salad, our entrees were rabbit and trout and to finish we had THE BEST creme brulee I have had in years….yes almost everywhere offers it now, but most places serve it ice cold (I was taught that is actually wrong) and have hardly no sugar crust to them. This was full coverage and had the perfect “crack” and was beyond a beautiful finish to a wonderful meal. Will definitely be back for special occasions.
