Petit Paris has been a popular restaurant in Edinburgh’s Grassmarket for over a decade now, and its continued deserved success is testament to owner Philippe Bachelet’s resolute devotion to recreating the traditional, rustic cuisine of their Loire Valley upbringing. Simple, quality ingredients are beautifully prepared, and standouts include the glorious starter of grilled snails with garlic, parsley and Pastis butter. The eponymous main Le Coq au Vin Façon ‘Petit Paris’ features baked marinated chicken cooked in red wine with lardons, mushrooms and baby onions, and has become a classic among the patrons of this charming Grassmarket eatery. Likewise the gorgeous Crème Brulée has garnered a multitude of glowing testimonials, while the inspired wine list is exclusively French, with bottles lovingly selected to complement the food.
