My husband and I are moving to Bartlett and have been looking at the many offerings the area has to offer since starting our build. Le P'tit was the first to pop up on my feed and immediately caught my attention due to its unique menu, historic building, and secluded outdoor oasis for the fair weather seasons. When asked where I wanted to have dinner on my birthday, the answer was easy, L'ptit! We were greeted by the Chef Chopra outside, who welcomed us and asked us to choose the seat that suited us best in or outdoors. We chose a seat outside as it seemed most guests were enjoying the nice weather in the garden. Chef Chopra introduced himself and explained the complimentary montadito, and presented the current specials. We loved that he took time to ask what brought us in, and when we said that we were building a new home in Bartlett only minutes away, he shared that although he has been all over the world he always misses good old Bartlett, IL. This is the kind of connection and service you won't find at franchise restaurants! We enjoyed cocktails, myself a dirty tini with bleu cheese stuffed olives, and my husband the traditional old fashioned and the P'tit old fashioned - both of which he enjoyed. We ordered the hummus for an appetizer - my husband never orders humus. Not a drop was left. It was so flavorful, and since I am intolerant to gluten we loved that it was served with cucumber "chips". We will definitely order this again! Our entrees were both specials - mine the steak and shrimp tower and my husband's the Birria. We could t decide whose was better. The shrimp and steak were so flavorful and beautifully cooked, and the beef and consommé of my husband's was out of this world. My takeaways from Le P'tit: We will be there - regularly, before we move into our home, and after! Have a cocktail, they are fabulous. Talk to Chef Chopra any chance you get. He has seen the world and loves to see his guests enjoying his menu and the atmosphere of his establishment. This is what supporting local is about! Enjoy your time at Le P'tit. Savor. Take a moment to slow down, disconnect from the outside and connect with the ones around you and enjoy the wonderfully and thoughtfully prepared dishes on the menu. We can't wait to be back! read more

I planned a birthday party for my wife and Sunny and his staff made the event absolutely great. The food and service were both absolutely excellent. Sunny allowed me to choose a number of items from the menu that he served throughout the night. From hummus, meat and cheese plate, paella, ceviche, meatballs, ribs, and more. EVERY dish was so good. It has been a while where I have been so happy with every dish and Sunny hit it out of the park. Aside from the food, he and his staff treated my wife and our guests so well and made the night wonderful. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!! The restaurant is a true gem!! read more

Came to this place few days ago to celebrate. We came a little late, but yet we could try the dates with bacon, the octopus, the patatas bravas and the lamb. Amazing food and enviroment! Will come back again to try the paella, they ran out since we came late, but will try go earlier for that! Great to talk the manager and the story of this restaurant and will come back again for this hidden gem in barttlet. read more

We finally got around to checking this place out after moving to the area several years ago and I wish we had done it a lot sooner! We ate in the little courtyard, which was so charming. I ordered the seafood paella and my husband ordered the chicken Indian paella and both were outstanding! It was a really nice touch that the chef himself actually delivered many of the meals to the tables himself. The service was also exceptional, and our waitress, Mimi was very friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back, and likely often.! read more

The food was delicious. The ambience was cozy and inviting. Good service. I enjoy d all the tapas we ordered.

This restaurant is charming with a great menu. Chef Sunny greeted us when we arrived and found us a nice table outside. The shaded patio was lovely to dine in, especially with the breeze that we had. The service was attentive as they were constantly checking in to see if we needed anything. Seating is first come first serve. On Thu, seats were filling up fast after 6p. The waitress brought us complimentary slices of bread loaded with olives and olive oil to start the meal. Cocktails and Martinis $14 Bacon wrapped dates (4 pieces) $10 - Delicious, the bacon is cooked to perfection and the dates were stuffed with goat cheese. Patata bravas $11 - Tasty roasted potatoes Meat paella $24 - Came out fast, no lead time needed when ordering. The tenderloin steaks were tender. We couldn't finish this between two people and I brought the leftover home, which tasted just as great the next day. Chocolate molten bundt lava cake $9 - Very chocolaty; my favorite dessert here. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2025 read more

The food is AMAZING! We ordered two of the tapas- the baked goat cheese spread and the gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp). Both come with bread. Absolutely delicious and bursting with so much flavor. The bread was perfect for spreading and dipping! We both ordered the combo paella for dinner and wow...that's some good paella! I'm a huge paella fan and happy to have found a local spot that offers it! Next time, I would love to try the seafood paella. The combo comes with chorizo sausage and shrimp. The rice was perfect and they also added little pieces of avocado in there which was a great addition. The waitresses were nice, attentive and friendly. I also really enjoyed the ambiance. It's cute and homey inside. There's a little bar area that seems like a chill spot for just hanging out and having drinks and tapas! It was a bit cold inside and we wished they had maybe a heater or two nearby. I was glad I had my warm boots and vest on... Regardless, I would recommend this place for the food alone! Will definitely be back! read more

I went with a couple friends and we thought the place was adorable! We went when the weather was nice so able to sit outside but it was pretty cool that the inside part was at a barn. We ordered baked goat cheese, seafood paella, and patatas bravas. I also got a pomegranate moscow mule. Everything was pretty good and family style being a tapas place. The parking was easy and service was good too. I would come back if I was in the area! read more

My family and I went to Le Petit to celebrate my birthday. The service and food was impeccable. We started off with complimentary montadito-chimichurri evoo, cheese & olive on toasted ciabatta. They were so nice to make very tapas a plus one for our party of 5, so everyone got to try each tapas. We enjoyed the bacon wrapped dates, albondigas, charcuterie board, patatas bravas, ceviche, gambas al ajillo, and the seafood paella. We ended with the delicious lemoncello marscapone cake and flourless chocolate cake. They put a candle on both slices and sang happy birthday with my family. It made for a very special evening. My children kept on talking about the food on the way home and the next day. We will be back. read more

Cute little place with amazing small plates at a great price too! Service was really good as well! They were attentive but not over bearing which was very nice!

I almost don't want to write this and have too many people find this true hidden gem. It's been on our radar forever and we finally went for our anniversary. It's tiny, just a handful of tables and a small bar. But it's super cool, I wish it was warmer as they look like they have a great patio area. The manu is small ish with some small plates, paellas, flatbreads and some entrees. The wine menu is impressive and all bottles are the same price....what a revelation. We started with an excellent bottle of red from Chile and the crostini amuse bouche they provided. The bloody mary shrimp shots were a tasty start, The grilled octopus was awesome, I could have licked the guajillo sauce off the plate. The shrimp avocado bruschetta was substantial and great! We also did the mushroom and goat cheese flatbread, again amazing. What a stunning meal, 10 minutes from home! The desserts again all the same price, we got the chocolate molten cake, again stunning athe caramel sauce was just wonderful. As good a meal we have had for twice the price, we will absolutely be back and I can't wait to try everything. read more

Not really "tapas" but sort of an Eastern European take on tapas. Nice location and atmosphere. Will return.

Very cute atmosphere. Very small red building. Give complimentary montaditos. They have a paella that is based on meat as an option versus seafood but meat/meatballs arent very good. read more

A wonderful place for five-star food and drinks, in the heart of downtown Bartlett, of all places. I like the concept of tapas, bringing to mind the ability to have a 2 hour+ meeting with great food, good drink, and most important: engaging company. And since you order the food in multiple rounds, you can graze like you are at a buffet, especially if you are dining with others. What's obviously important is that the food needs to be prepared quickly (one can't wait for 20 minutes for a dish to come after ordering). Le Petit is the place! It shares a large parking lot with other restaurants in the area, and since those were also busy on a Friday night, the lot was pretty full but we were able to find a spot close by. We didn't have a reservation, but found a place near the door, and was promptly engaged. We were given menus and a complementary montadito (small slice of french bread with EVOO and olives). They have a strong wine collection (which my brother-in-law perused) and a decent selection of draught beer. We ended up getting pints of estrella and chimay grande reserve, which at $7 was very much appreciated. Then we began to order, doing 2 - 3 dishes at a time. Pimento Del Piquillo ($7) - seafood stuffed pepper (2) - each pepper was 2- 3 bites worth. The first munch of this for me, was the best bite I've had in a very long time. Grilled Octopus ($14) - a smaller dish, with two tenacles, pounded and marinated. It was tender, not chewy and the accompaniments and relish really added so much flavor to each bite. Seafood Paella ($15) - ended up ordering this twice. As expected, it took a little longer to prepare/assemble...but still short enough to order it as a refill without waiting too long. This is my favorite Spanish dish, and it was good rendition, topped with separately prepared shrimp, salmon, and octopus. It reminded me that people are trying to serve paella in smaller portions, and CAN work as a tapas. Meat and Cheese Platter ($15) - recommended by our chef, so ate it towards the end. Very good quality meat and cheeses, and would be the right amount for a party of four. tenderloin-avocado blt slider ($9) - probably the one fusion dish that we ordered. Tastes exactly like as you would expect reading the title. Because we were raving about the food, our hostess brought out the chef/owner so we could meet him. Rakesh "Sunny" Chopra is the origination of these various dishes on the menu, and obviously takes a very hands on approach. Service was good throughout, and they will provide a bottle of tap water to serve yourself, if you ask. I think the term fusion in the name would apply more to the mix of different dishes. rather than a particular dish that melds different flavors/ingredients within itself. This was clear when my dining companion who grew up in Spain, had very complementary things to say about the Spanish tapas (including the ultimate, "my mom makes this"). Surprisingly, we really didn't see or taste any Indian influences, considering the chef/owner's ethnicity or history of his restauranteering in the Bartlett area. Note the location is in a historic, rustic barn that has been restored and has quite a bit of space for seating, without having to squeeze every bit of space. It is drafty in places. Their website is very good, giving accurate information about the menu and history of the ownership family. This is when I realized that I had dined at one of Sunny's restaurants before: d'licious Crepes & Roti...remembering it to be excellent. i really need to keep an eye on this place, recommending it wholeheartedly to everyone, and seeing what Sunny has planned next. read more

Tried this place again - pretty great! Food is very very good. We both tried paellas - I tried the seafood one, very fresh and tasty, plentiful. I am not a fan of the octopus and they readily changed it for more fish. Husband tried the meat paella - very good flavor. Reasonably priced at $24 per paella. Prices in general are pretty reasonable and they have good specials as well. Service is very kind. Plenty of seating. Cozy place. There is parking next to the restaurant or street parking. Would recommend! read more

Came across this place in Bartlett when visiting the coffee house next to it. It was an unexpectedly good surprise. Le P'Tit Resto sounds like it has lots of French stuff, but it's more than that though. Actually because it's not French at all. This turned out to be a Spanish tapas bar and restaurant. A fancy sounding place to be sure, but it turned out it really wasn't that bad. Instead of sitting in the coffee house, we came here and sat at the bar for some drinks and tapas. Things were a pretty good value. It's about $6 for a pint of one of the interesting sounding beers. They had one from Vera Brewery called Pistachio Cream Ale, and this tasted like it. As for the tapas, we got the cheapest we could. It's about $9 for the White Bean Hummus. This was cannellini beans and extra virgin olive oil, topped with giardiniera and served with naan pieces. For sure I could go here again. It's pretty affordable for a tapas bar, to be honest. This is a great option if not feeling hungry enough for big meals, and need something a lot simpler. read more

Very cosy place with delicious food. Feels like home, tapas are really good , the owner is very friendly to his public

Absolutely, positively five strong stars for me. This is a place I never would have known about i if it wasn't for Yelp, so thanks much to all the people that have reviewed it. I read all the details of the other reviews, and knew that it was for me. I had it on my collections list to try out, and I finally went there. The location is in that homey looking downtown railroad area of Bartlett, and the entrance can be a little tricky to spot. I went there alone, a little before 5:00, so I wasn't concerned about not getting seated. The owner seated me right away, and I looked over the nice, eclectic menu - lots of interesting choices. First, I went with the special of the day that the owner described. Small, not hot, red peppers from Spain, stuffed with a seafood mix. There was a guy sitting at the bar who said that he just tried them and that they were delicious. He looked like a nice, honest young man who wouldn't lie to me about something as important as that, so I ordered it. Absolutely melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I went Indian on my next dish, the butter chicken meatballs with a masala sauce and naan pieces. Again, perfection, and not something you're likely to find on a menu anywhere else. I finished up with the melted goat cheese, yummy and rich. Although I don't often drink when I eat out, I enjoyed a Margarita and then an Old Fashioned. Both were delicious. I can't stress enough how good this place is. Halfway through my first magnificent small-plate and drink, I found myself anxiously looking forward to not only my next tapa now, but also my next visit here. The owner and server were as kind and professional as can be. The prices were overly reasonable. I'll be back again soon, most likely with other family members. In summary, although I enjoyed my solo trip here thoroughly this is a can't miss enjoyable date night opportunity for you couples. So delicious, so interesting. The owner/chef is a genius. read more

Wow.... I am very impressed with the quality of food and flavors. From traveling the world and trying so many dishes and tapas this is extremely good for a Chicago suburb tapas restaurant. The ladies serving us were exceptional as well. Can't wait to come back! read more

Such an amazing place! A bit hidden off the road, but such a worthwhile visit! The Steak Ajvar and Patatas Bravas are must haves!

You must dine here! The food was excellent. It's a bit hidden behind Banbury Fair. We arrived around 6:30 pm on a Saturday evening and found a table inside. It was a little chilly and I didn't have a jacket otherwise we would have dined in their cute outdoor garden area. The server greeted us right away with water and a small olive and bread dish to enjoy while we looked over the menu. My daughter and I decided to try a few seafood dishes and they were excellent! I can't decide which one I enjoyed more. Each full of flavor and larger than I expected for tapas. I'm excited to return again to try even more of the menu. read more

Really great, cozy and unique location. Met a friend and she suggested it. Parking can be tricky if you're not familiar with the location. Food was decent, but not true Spanish "tapas" by any means. My largest complaint was the hostess/server. She was overbearing and arrogant to go the point of offensiveness. I started my order with the Bloody Mary shims (only 2 shrimp), she looked at me and "is that all you want? The 2 shrimp"? I looked at her like, "are you serious right now"? I stated, I wanted that and a flatbread. She said, "why don't you try the paella and the grilled shrimp if you want shrimp. I looked at my friend, then back to her and said, "if I wanted that, I would have ordered that", she said well, know tapas, right? I was so appalled at her statement. I looked at her and said Ma'am, I've been to Spain, all over Europe and worked for a Spanish airline for years- I KNOW tapas". Unreal. read more

Service started out a little slow but I believe that was because there was confusion with who was actually serving us but that quickly resolved itself and we had a great time. The food was phenomenal. Everything was full of flavor, fresh, tender, and delicious. We will be back here at some point. Indoor and outdoor eating. Small town feel. Great staff. Good service. read more

We have been following owner Rakesh Chopra since 2009 at his various local restaurants that he has opened and this one is a true gem. Went on a Friday night for my wife's birthday. Located in a historic barn from the 1800's . Many tables for 2 available. After 4pm only 21+ allowed. Quiet and romantic. Great selection of wines and cocktails. Reasonably priced. We had a bottle of Spanish Rioja accompanied with a complimentary montadito...olives...grilled bread and evoo..a nice touch. Their menu offers soups and appetizer salads. My wife had the crab and lobster bisque which she enjoyed. We decided to try their Ceviche Peru which was fresh and very flavorful served with plantains. Also had Lamb Chorizo Naan bites which were so good I wanted more! They do have about 4 dinner specials that you can share so we ordered the Seafood Paella which had shrimp..octopus and salmon. Soooo good! For dessert we had to have the Bacon Wrapped Dates.. A perfect night ! Will definitely be back to try their P'Tit Tacos Elevated. read more

Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. We had a cauliflower crust flatbread with mushrooms - so good. A potato appetizer, can't remember the name, a little spicy but tasty. The paella was the star of the night. For dessert we had the mini churros, which are baked not fried - in case you're counting calories by that point! A little fresh whipped cream made them perfect.
