3/3/17 - Booked for 12 noon…read more We arrived a bit early by 15 minutes, and found someone, but was quite brusquely told that they didn't open until 12 noon. I said we hadn't got anywhere else to go as visiting Leicester for another purpose, and could we just take a seat and wait. Well, the door would have been closed if it hadn't been for maintenance work being carried out, we were told...... Not a good start. However, sat at a table for two.... Just mention that we've visited Bistrot Pierre several times in Birmingham, and also in Torquay, so we are somewhat "anciens patrons". Plus several stamps on the loyalty card.. So what did we have? Initial drinks: 175ml - Dry white wine for my wife - £3.95 Becks Blue for me - £2.95 Presented with some warm bread and (unsalted) butter - FOC. My wife had two courses - £10.95 Starter Pate & Chicken/Truffle Main I had three courses - £16.95 Whitebait for the starter with a garlic mayonnaise - Plenty of whitebait. The rump steak main (a supplement of £3.95) - which I found to be rather tough and grisly. (Also ordered a glass of 175ml Malbec - £6.50) Sweet - Crème Brulee - Which is always good. My wife felt that the ambiance of the Birmingham restaurant is better. Staff were friendly that eventually served us (not the person who greeted us). The food came at a steady pace. All reasonably priced menu. Wines can be a bit pricey. Turns out to be my son's favourite restaurant in Leicester.

Menu is fairly mainstream, but food is well prepared, and it offers an extremely well priced Menu Gastronomique typically two evenings per month. The service has always been very good, and deserves particular commendation for the willingness to adapt even the notionally fixed Menu Gastronomique if dinners have particular needs.

I had the special Salmon risotto and it was fantastic. My fiance has a peppered steak as he was craving manly meat. We then shared a bakewell tart served with Ice Cream at the end of the meal. I had eaten more than enough food but enjoyed every bite. The ambiance was great and the staff was friendly.

Yesterday I have visited Le Petit Rouge for the second time (the previous one was 1 year ago). Le…read morePetit is the sister restaurant of San Carlo's an italian restaurant at street level. I was attracted by their lunch offer of 2 courses for £6.50. I have to say that nothing has changed since 1 year ago. The quality of the food , preparation and presentation are good but the portions are just ridiculous. In fact what I received this time was 2 starters not 2 courses...and I am not exagerating. One year ago I ordered a la carte and it was the same. I still remember it. I ordered chicken wingS and I received 1 chicken wing! At least do not use the plural if you cannot deliver not even two of them. So this time the two courses were: risotto with mushrooms : portion size was 1 fist of a child. smoked salmon with beetroot : portion size was maybe 25g of salmon and 15 g of beetroot cutted in tiny cubes. Lucky for me there was a little bowl of french chips too. Otherwise I had left the place completely starving. But there was one more surprise! 500 ml of still water was charged £ 2.95 !!!! So their name Le Petit Rouge (The little Red) describes perfectly the experience that you are going to get. Portions very little and bill pretty high. If you want an expensive snack before going to have a proper meal, it's the right place. It's definitely a pity but it looks like the owners don't want to make real business with this bistrot.

We dined on the first floor which had a special French ambience. There were some beautiful paintings on the wall, which made me feel like we were dining at museum. Oh the food was AMAZING! I was delighted with every bite! Especially the starter of scallops and king prawn was beautifully cooked. The combination of seafood and pie was absolutely delightful.
