This cafe is super aesthetic with the lush greenery, open space, and classy chandeliers. Definitely the perfect spot for brunch with the girls or date night with the boo. They also host events here, which is perfect. We arrived for a late lunch on a Sunday at 3pm and were welcomed to the backyard, which was filled. The space is a bit tight though when you're getting up and back to your seat if using the restroom or something. It was also a bit hot sitting there on a summer day. Anyways, the menu has a huge variety of options from brunch, pastas, burgers, wraps, paninis, etc. I opted for the Veggie Omelet ($15) with the Cornflake Chicken ($9) appetizer while the fiancé had the Penne Alla Vodka ($19). The portions and food was pretty good for the price and we were both stuffed by the end of the meal. I liked the refreshing salad paired with my omelet, which was filled with lots of tomato, mushrooms and spinach for a hearty meal. While I did like the texture of the cornflake chicken, it was a bit bland. You definitely need the honey mustard that was served with it. This was a satisfying meal under the prettiest back room. Lots of variety to choose from and a nice spot in the neighborhood. read more

Such a pretty magical area to dine! It's like a small enchanted garden in the back of the store, which is where the restaurant is. We came for Saturday brunch and easily got a table. The Steak and Eggs were very delicious. My husband's shrimp omelette was decent. Nice service. read more

We came in for lunch on a Saturday and had such a wonderful experience! They were able to seat our party of 6 right away (the owner seems so nice). The food was great but it's really worth coming in just for the beautiful and unique atmosphere. It was especially nice this time of year to see it decorated for the holidays. read more

Wow oh wow. What an amazing and unique restaurant. There is nothing like it in Brooklyn. The design is old world influenced and has been carefully crafted to enhance the visual experience with your pallet that is about to be overwhelmed with the taste and quality of the food. It's clean, well designed and laid out to maximize comfort and space. The garden area is not enclosed but still has the feeling of being in the garden without the heat and the bugs. The food was remarkable and consistent, the cakes and cheese cake we had were a ten out of ten as well. We met the owner "Tommy" who was very accommodating to our large group and made sure we enjoyed ourselves. I will be coming back often and so should you. Try this gem of a place, have a coffee and a pastry or bring your family for lunch or dinner. This place is as perfect as a restaurant can be. read more

Came here on Mother's Day and was very fortunate that the owner was nice to get my family seated outdoor last minute. Reservations were required on this day for indoor seating, which were wonderfully decorated. We ordered the Arugula Asparagus Hanger steak salad which was good and also the cornflake chicken over Belgian waffles. I love the crunch with cornflakes but wish the chicken was more moist. I loved my ice chai latte. Overall a nice Mother's day brunch. IG@Jubes111 read more

The cutest cafe ever! My appetite brought me through the door, but the decor and ambiance made me stay. I stopped by for a working lunch. I got a tuna wrap with fries and was also able to work remotely (you must place an order before getting their WiFi password). The staff were friendly and accommodating. I liked the wide variety of seating: there's outdoor seating and seating in their courtyard. The courtyard decor is so elegant; it felt like it was straight out of a movie. There is something for everyone: there's brunch on a week day, the option to work remotely, grab lunch, go for a coffee break, or indulge in an ice cream break. Overall, this café was a pleasant surprise. Super excited that stumbled across it. read more

If you want a perfect place for a romantic date, look no further. Even from outside you can't miss this place due to a multiple lights and decorations, once you inside, it is almost like in your childhood feritale. They have truly devoted great deal to the decorations and details, including running spring. As for the food, we just stop by to get a dessert, but ended up to get a few appetizers as well. Crispy cornflakes chicken was okay, and warm seafood salad was just a variety of mussels, clams and shrimps in a stew. I had to order a bread to finish it and also it was okay. However, their apple pie was amazing! I would definitely give them another chance and come back for a dinner. read more

Overzealous and gorgeous cottage-core decoration with a huge backyard space for dining in unheard of in NYC. Friendly and attentive service. Be prepared to encounter 3 different wait staff asking how everything is/do you need anything ? Not the place for introverts: I personally prefer privacy and space. There doesn't seem to be communication between them either. We asked to split the bill but that wasn't communicated to the host/waitress so we ended up getting a regular bill. Then requesting to-go boxes was a whole journey. We also got the wrong dish. But it was endearing and tolerable since they were friendly! The food was gorgeous and a tad over salted for brunch at 10am. Ordered an omelet , panini, and waffles. They came with generous side dishes. Really great french fries that came with the panini. Also, great prices for the portions and flavor read more

Charming little cafe with a very European vibe and covered patio seating at the back. We only had time to grab some coffee and pastry for takeout, but would love to come back for a sit down brunch. The service was fantastic, super friendly & quick. Espresso was piping hot, and the apple turnover tasted amazing with beautifully layered, crisp puff pastry and a not too sweet filling. read more

I have been here too many times. Love this place. The decor makes you feel like you're on vacation. There are so many live plants. There is a coi fish pond with a little waterfall. It is so relaxing. We have had Dominick more than five times as our service provider. He is always five star. He makes you feel like you are a star. We usually come here for breakfast. Everything is made exactly as we request. The cooks take time and care with each plate. The mimosas in a pitcher are good too. read more

I'm surprised by the bad reviews, because this place is amazing! It is so thoughtfully decorated, and serene. I rarely see real flowers in a restaurant, and this place does it. I'd highly recommend it for anyone wanting a beautiful atmosphere for a date night, special occasion, or a treat for oneself to enjoy. *NOTE PLEASE READ - to address some of the complaints - the service is slower, so if you're in a rush, maybe it isn't the best option for you. Additionally, you can always give your server a heads up if you need to get in and out faster. This is a peaceful place, it's meant to be enjoyed over time, so for the best experience, I'd recommend going when you want a leisurely meal. - hours on google are incorrect Now to the main review: Ambiance - From the second you reach the outside of the restaurant, you will see the charm of the place. You're greeted with a fresh sangria table, and ice cream on the left. Pastries, and treats line the way to the back as you walk by the front cash register. When you get to the back, you'll enjoy beautiful stone, plants, flowers, and hidden decor throughout. Food - I really enjoy the food here, but it's a large menu, so I can't speak for everything. Their bread basket they give you has amazingly fresh tasting bread, with a unique dipping oil with olives, pickled cauliflower, tomatoes, and herbs. It's a must have, and it comes with your meal! For dinner, I had the special (shrimp, and steak) dinner, and shared a café salad. Both were very tasty! I loved the fresh salad, and the steak was cooked to my liking. I've had brunch here a couple times, and it's solid, but I think their dinner options are stronger. Overall, I enjoy coming here, and it had been a while since I had been back, so I was very happy to make another visit last night. I will definitely be back! read more

Food was good but I was not allowed to sit and enjoy my meal because the waiter said I could not take time to decide what I wanted since they were "busy". I asked to move up front so I would not be rushed, as I was finishing my food I saw at least three people leave right after being seated because they were also being rushed. It is a beautiful restaurant and good food but they make people feel like the need to eat and leave even when there are plenty of tables available! Will not be returning. read more

Cute place love the decor but the name leads you to believe it's French. It isn't. It's mexican cooks and mediocre food. Service was ok. I wish I'd had a waiter that actually told us about the food and what to order. The bus lady stared at us the whole time as we were the last table. I would try it again but the owner is the biggest jerk you've ever met and that's saying a lot in NY. Oh you've been there 30 years? Why haven't you learned to be a nice human in all that time. Sorry I mentioned your food was bad and that insulted your "short wise guy napoleon complex I own a restaurant big shot vibe". Oh and be nicer to your staff dude. You're way too mean. read more

This is one of the first restaurants I tried when I moved to the area, and I've been back so many times that the staff members know me. The restaurant is part restaurant, part cafe, with lots of outdoor seating in the front and the most beautiful indoor garden in the back. Seriously, the garden looks like it came from a movie set. For the most part, I go here for brunch. But I've also been here for dinner, and it's just as good. They have plenty of space for large parties, and it's also great for small groups or solo dining. The menu has a wide variety of options, so you're bound to find something you like! read more

Great service. Waiter was very kind and patient with us. Went for New Year's breakfast and more than satisfied. Food was also really good, especially the steak and eggs. Meat is well marinated. Beautiful interior during holidays. Highly recommend. read more

I used to visit Le Petit Cafe quite often in the past for brunch and it was usually pretty good. It had been years since I've been so we decided to have brunch on a somewhat recent visit. Yes, it's been noted that the ambience indoors is lovely, which it is, but we chose outdoor, sidewalk seating. The server was really friendly and pleasant. We placed an order for iced coffee but they ran out of skim milk which was no big deal. Coffee was pretty good. For brunch main, we both selected the omelet and chose the 2 fillings which was included. I think I chose mushrooms and onions accompanied by a salad. There was a bit of a wait considering it was Sunday. Again, no big deal. When the omelets arrived, I was very disappointed as I tried to eat it. It's been said if an omelet isn't presented in top form at a restaurant, the rest of the dishes could be the same. (I got that from the movie 100 Foot Journey). I really wanted to like my omelet as an homage to having had countless brunches here prior to 2010 but it was a huge let down. In a nutshell, the omelet was coated brown and tasted like the skillet. I was really put off. I'm certain I make better omelets! Anyway, I couldn't finish eating it with that nagging taste. Both omelets looked the same. In addition, the fillings were skimpy. This wasn't an omelet that knocked my socks off. Overall--blah. Maybe I'll return for lunch or something else or an iced coffee to go if I'm in the area. read more

This place has the cutest decor! I loved the vibe! I got the steak panini, it was okay, I would try something else next time I come. The desserts looks really good as well. The steak was a little too tough but the bread it was on and the cheese was really good. This place is super cute to come to on the weekends. The food was average but what makes this place a great place is the ambiance for sure. The service was fast and they were nice. read more

Highlights: Ambiance. Potatoes. The service was okay. Brunch was acceptable yet unremarkable, but to be fair, we did order pretty basic foods. Really cute restaurant with a spacious and sunny dining area in the back and nice tables in the front as well. I'm not used to seeing places like this in Brooklyn; they remind me of somewhere I'd have been dragged to by my mother for breakfast with her church friends when I was in high school in California's Bay Area, or maybe in Glendale (LA), but once you're sitting there, you're certainly reminded you're in New York by the conversation of other diners. A table near us spoke of Greenwood Cemetery and mentioned Basquiat was buried there, and I marveled that they happened to be talking about it when I had just visited the cemetery for the first time the day before. I ordered a panini (#3: mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil). It should've been made with balsamic vinegar. As it was, it tasted a bit bland, but the potatoes were good. My friend got a stack of the buttermilk pancakes. While there was evidently nothing wrong with them, after a couple bites, the consistency and flat flavor brought to mind the imagined experience of chewing cardboard. After I tried the pancakes, I told my friend she should have ordered the banana ones. Reasonably priced spot would be great for a date. Although I wasn't wowed, I would come back here for lunch or dinner and try a more ambitious dish. read more

Hold on to your seats for this review! I went with a friend on Saturday. We headed towards the back section and the waitress (an older blonde woman) immediately and dismissively said "This area is for those having brunch." My flabber was ghasted already due to the quickness/sharpness in her tone but I thought she was stressed maybe. (There is an area in the front for cafe/small purchases.) She did not ask us why we were there. We were headed to a corner table with 4 seats due to the restaurant being mostly empty (and the hostess (red hair) telling us we could sit wherever). The blonde waitress then just as sharply added that we must sit at a 2 person table. I asked if we can work on our laptops and the blonde waitress said there is no wifi on the weekend and we would have to sit in the front if we did. Completely understandable. We went to the front for coffees, but decided we would stay for Brunch. We went back to the brunch area and I tried to have the nice red haired woman be our waitress. This woman ( did not get her name) said we could sit anywhere (in the mostly empty restaurant), but the blonde waitress again stepped in and said we have to choose a 2 person seat. She went out of her way to be our waitress from then on and seem to take uncomfortable notice of us. Closer to the end of our meal 2 white people came in and she smiled at them and told them they could sit anywhere. She looked me in my eyes and said "even the table in the corner" (which is the 4 person table we were heading to in the beginning.) It was such a random and uncomfortable way of making me and my friend feel small that it even feels embarrassing to write this. My friend asked her about it as I went to the bathroom to process what even was happening. She said the place was busier when we arrived and dismissed my friend when she said it had not because it literally was the same amount of people in the beginning of our meal to the end. That being said the table had stayed empty the entire time. I was wondering why the reviews were so low and why one reviewer (Carmen S) commented on racism and now I know. The rest of the staff seemed okay and the food was good but this place is ruined for me. We left a feedback card with our experience, thinking the restaurant would reach out to apologize or clarify what happened. That never happened. At this point I don't want an apology. I'm just hurt. read more

Working in the city, the choices for food are endless. I mean, everywhere you look, there's a restaurant. However, for me it's easier to get recommendations from colleagues and recommend they did. After a meeting and assessing water damage at some of our locations, the contractor recommended lunch at "Le Petit Café" a place they frequent a lot. So, I decided to go and drove over. Outside, the place looks small, but well displayed in the neighborhood. Outdoor dining and a beautiful facade welcome you to this location. After I walked in I quickly realized the outside paled in comparison to the interior. The place was a Marriott of design all from the owner; who loves decor. The counter stretches the length of the first room, full of delicious dessert and treats. Towards the end, is where the food is prepared. My colleagues sat in the back that was extended some time ago. The owner grew the business and created more space. I feel in love with the layout, there is something to see no matter where you sit. They had fried calamari already on the table. I have to be honest, it wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't bad; just a bit chewy. They recommend I get one of the home made health drinks, which I did as well. I loved it. It was truly delicious. Last, I got a burger and fries, because I didn't want to take advantage of them paying (but they did say get anything). I have to say, the burger and the fries were great. The chipotle mayo with the fries made it even better. The last knock against this place was it wasn't busy so you'd think you get better service from the wait staff. But, I would definitely return for another health drink. I'm getting old, I have to start thinking about my health.....even thought I'd rather a burger with extra cheese (did I ever mention I love cheese)! read more

Omg guys....if you don't go to this one of a kind amazingly beautiful restaurant, you haven't lived! My day started out with the intention of going to another restaurant in the neighborhood but the wait was too long and I decided on Le Petit. Best decision ever! There are a few tables as you enter but the main dining area is absolutely beautiful. We (me, my daughter and niece) were seated right away and the wait staff is on point. We ordered the Eggs Benedict, Huevos Rancheros, Steak & Eggs and a short stack of pancakes with bananas and pecans. Everything was perfectly seasoned, great portions and delicious. The pancakes were light and fluffy. We left nothing behind. If you're looking for a great brunch/breakfast spot, this is it! I have to go back for lunch/dinner next time. I'm sure it will be equally delicious. Have fun! read more

Me and my friend wanted to sit at a table that was bigger because we were going to order a lot of food but we were moved to a two seated table because we werent "4 people". Understandable. They moved us to a seat near an open door but we wanted to love because we kept getting bit my mosquitos. We asked two different people and they never got back to us. Later on we see two different parties of two get a table with four seats, which is what ever been trying to do the whole time. Food was so dry, the juices were clumpy and had a crossed out price on the menu (questionable). Then we go to pay and ask for a bag to take our food to go bc all we wanted to do was slave at that point and the person at the front was acting confused like he couldn't understand us. Overall customer service was not the best. read more

The coffee was really good at this cafe! The environment and the inside decor is just so gorgeous and zen. We did not get a chance to try their foods - but we tried different lattes, cappuccinos and coffees. All yum! One thing I hated was that the owner or manager of the shop kept rushing us out. I didn't like that at all. It wasn't even busy. He just handed us the check and basically asked me and my friends to leave. It was really annoying and sad because we wanted to enjoy the space - that again - was not busy. We bought like 5 lattes. But other than the issue with the manager, I would go again and maybe get takeout to try out the food. The cornflake fried chicken looked delicious! read more

Terrible experience here. Served raw chicken but that's just one part of it! We stopped by around 3:30pm on a slow afternoon and seating area was empty. The host gave us a really hard time about getting a seat. He first told us we had to get food to get a seat. Fair enough, but after we agreed, he stopped us again and told us we "better get real food because we're getting real busy in five minutes." We ordered some French toast, coffee, and chicken tenders. French toast and coffee were both super bland but at least they were fully cooked! Our chicken came out completely raw (see photo)!! Craziest part is the place was completely empty when we left. I guess they really were so busy they forgot how to cook chicken tenders... read more

Ambience - 5 Food- 3 Service - 2 This place is beautiful from front to back. The outside is adorable and we sat in the back garage and it's an oasis. We arrived at 11am and it was not busy and we're seated right away. We ordered our food around 11:10 and it came out at 11:50. The servers were friendly but waiting 40 minutes for mediocre food is ridiculous especially when it was not busy. I ordered the banana nut pancakes and they were okay, nothing special. My husband ordered the corn flake crusted chicken and waffles were just okay. Overall the vibe of the place is top notch but plan to stay awhile cause the food takes forever and a day to come out. read more

Absolutely stunning interior. I can see why people rent it out for special occasions. My boyfriend and I stumbled upon Le Petit Cafe on a Saturday morning while strolling along Court looking for a new breakfast spot. We're fairly new to the neighborhood, but still shocked we had never been here. They have a nice front outdoor seating area and a cute coffee/pastry counter in the very front. Keep going down the hallway to the back and you'll find yourself in Narnia. Brick archways, waterfalls, hanging plants. Just gorgeous! The menu is pretty expansive -- you can get all the breakfast, brunch and lunch classics. I went for the huevos rancheros. Choice for tortilla was either flour or wheat corn. I think they're usually made with regular corn tortillas, so I went with the wheat corn which was a bad idea. Everything else about it was good -- delicious salsa, fresh avocado, eggs. But wheat tortillas have such a distinct wheat flavor that doesn't go with the dish. My boyfriend had a plain belgian waffle and a side of scrambled eggs and bacon. The latter was great. The waffle on the other hand was stodgy (thanks for teaching me that word, GBBO). In other words, very dense and lacking flavor. Service was fine; they run it diner-style. The food actually tasted diner-style too. But I will be back to Narnia. read more

A few months ago, I went to this place and it was so loud it sounded like a club. The manager came by and apologized and said they had a big party renting things out for a wedding or something. He said that it was not like how it normally was and to come back another time. The place seemed cute, so I decided to give them a try this weekend. We get there and order, and it took (not exaggerating) an hour after we had our order taken to get food. The same manager came by and said that they were short staffed and apologized. I understand that. I had to call and reschedule the plans we had after because it took far longer than I anticipated to grab a bite to eat. I hope they can get it together because they seem nice, but I believe that's my last time there. read more

5 star service and good This review comes on the heal of my 2nd visit. I intentionally waited to capture Le Petit at a different time and for a different meal to see if there was consistency in both food and dining experience. Le Petit is a delightful garden restaurant with the genius of ideas of having plants growing on the inside under the roof. Upon entering you slide down a narrow hallway and then - poof you're in a magical garden illuminated by soft tea lights. It's absolutely magnificent both day and night. My first visit was for date night. I had a tuna steak with fresh mangoand tomatoes salsa, mashed potatoes and asparagus. That was the first in a long time that I ate everything on my plate. I was slightly embarrassed but then not. I mean, that's what good food is supposed to make you do. I had a glass of Sauvignon blanc that made the meal even more delightful. This last and my 2nd visit, I decided to take a friend for her bday brunch. At first she seemed rather unimpressed walking pass the bar/ chefs area but had the biggest grin when she peeped the garden. She couldn't stop taking photos. I went for the cornflakes fried chicken and waffles and she went for steak and eggs with homefries. At first taste her comment was "oh this was made with love". Yes!!! She chased her meal with a glass of Sangria that was spiced with cranberries and since it was gingerly cold that day I had tea. Le Petit is a beautiful surprise on an unassuming block with not much else happening besides very gentrified things. Happy to have found this little gem. read more
