Always a five star experience at Petite. The chicken sausage is excellent, the albacore melt is a winner, and the croissant are the attraction. Don't miss out on one of Portland's mainstays. Try each location. They all have different ambience. read more

From what I'm told, this is one of many charming locations. The Petite Provence is a smaller version of the regular restaurants with the same french charm. The service was great. Since we walked in we were greeted warmly, seated and checked upon often. I forgot to take the server name byt she was attentive and very nice. The food is good and everything tasted very fresh. I asked for some hot sauce; it was home made, fresh, and just right. The decore is very chic and they have a smaller version of the pastries display. There isn't a lot of space for pictures inside but the patio is nice. You can definitely take pictures outside the restaurant. read more

Food was great but the service was ATROCIOUS! As a former service worker I have so much grace towards staff to make mistakes but this was just one after the other and me and my friends were just astounded at our strange experience. We had to wait almost an hour for them to come by to even just ask us for our orders, it took nearly 20 minutes to even get our original drinks and then we were ignored when asking for refills. The waitress kept touching my friends and they felt uncomfortable, she kept telling us sorry that's what she does to show appreciation to her customers but all we were hoping for was to get hydration and food in during our time there, check out took forever as well- we were there for over 3 hours but half of the time was waiting around. read more

I went to Providence recently and was very saddened to hear that they now only use plant-based butter in their pastries and croissants. A complete mistake. They also no longer make béchamel sauce for their ham and cheese croissants and if they're take & bake croissants use plant baked butter And they're not good when I bake them. I won't have any reason to go back. Sad because I loved the place this place. read more

Petite Provence - I particularly like the take and bake chocolate croissants. - French Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Petite Provence has kept its place at the top of my list of favorite places for breakfast, and it's probably the spot where I've impressed the most visitors to the city. They maintain a smallish menu, making sure everything on offer is done flawlessly. It's also a terrific place to grab a bag full of pastries to go, or get a special loaf of bread. Everything about this place makes me wonder why I let too much time go by between visits. read more

Mediocre Food with a Side of Attitude My wife's french toast special was dry and had no filling as advertised on menu. Our server never checked back with us after she brought our food. I had to get someone else for a coffee refill as well as additional syrup for my wife as well as to go boxes. All this with an attitude. Maybe it is a French thing? read more

My dearest readers, Pray allow me to report upon a breakfast scandal of the most egregious sort. Imagine, if you will, an omelette so tragically overworked it might have petitioned for mercy--yet within its weary folds lurked onions so brazenly raw they announced themselves with all the subtlety of a debutante crashing her own ball. Raw. In an overcooked omelette. One scarcely knows whether to weep or summon a competent chef. But alas, the drama does not end there. The squash--poor, unsuspecting thing--had clearly spent far too long fraternizing in the chill of the icebox, emerging perfumed with the unmistakable eau de poisson. Yes, dear reader, fish. A fragrance one might forgive at the docks, but hardly on a breakfast plate. And as for the potatoes? Undercooked. Roots in the most literal and disappointing sense--stubborn, pallid, and defiantly resistant to heat, as though the flame had merely glanced in their direction and fled in embarrassment. One expects a kitchen to exercise dominion over its ingredients. Instead, this plate suggested the ingredients had staged a coup. Sincerely scandalized, A diner who deserved better. read more

Im new to town but long in the review game and will continue to keep it 100% honest. As an annoyingly particular and well-traveled foodie, Im very excited to explore this city, after all Ive heard. On to the review... I really wanted to like Petite Provence from the minute I walked in and was greeted by the combined smell of coffee and baked goods. Sadly, it was mostly an underwhelming experience as fine bakeries go. From the too-milky iced latte to the Costco-grade pastries, nothing stood out and the aged, dry, freezer-burned Pistachio Macaron was particularly bad. The Eclair was half frozen, never a good sign as the best bakeries make everything fresh in the morning. It was also greasy, reminiscent of buttercream rather than light pastry cream. The blueberry & cheese brioche was a touch stale, dense, dry and nothing like the airy, fluffy, buttery brioche I've tasted at fine french bakeries. Glancing at the tables around me, the food looked of standard diner quality which is to say, some will be just fine with it but, sadly its not for me. Oh well, the exploration of PDX bakeries continues on...! read more

Great spot! Definitely come if you like bakery/breakfast vibes with extra flare of French atmosphere! The wait staff was very friendly, thank you (Sunday am 2/18) - quick to seat us (we got in right before the rush 9am) got our drinks, gave us time to decide on our food, which came out promptly. As well as the pre breakfast croissant and post breakfast cake! We'll def try another spot to try out their other delicious plate options we didn't get this time. (My Fiance wants to get the pistachio croissant again FOR SURE!) read more

Visited here while on a road trip from Canada! I had seen a friend of mine post picture from this restaurant for years and years so I knew I HAD to visit it on our mega summer Roadtrip! Unfortunately none of the items I had drooled over for years were on the menu but that didn't stop us from buying our the bakery for road treats, their famous raspberry jam, and of course a sit down meal! Thank goodness we were a party of 3 so we could try a variety! They seriously need to offer 1/2 size plates because the portions are huge! The raspberry mojito brioche French toast was out of this world! Very sweet (as described) so nice to split with a dining buddy. My teen loved her BLT croissant and soup. And me, I opted for the Monte Cristo. However, I found it quite eggy and heavy. It may be the perfect sandwich for you but for me it was too dense. Regardless the food was all made from scratch with love! The sides we opted for were soup and fresh fruit. I would've loved to try a dessert here but we couldn't even finish our lunch plates. I will 100% be back if ever in the vicinity again. Great homemade French food, inviting and relaxed ambience, and great service! What more could you ask for? read more

Went for breakfast with a friend and we both really enjoyed the ambiance. Both of us also agreed this would be a place we would take our mothers for breakfast if they were in town.

The West Coast Benedict ($20.50) was great! Comes with salmon and avocado. I personally like this more than the classic ham. I love that their Benedict's come with croissants instead of muffins. So buttery & flaky! Pro tip: ask for hollandaise sauce on the side, so your croissants don't get soggy. Mimosas are a must at brunch, can't go wrong with OJ but they have other juice options as well. read more

I had a nice breakfast experience here with my niece and sister-in-law for her birthday! The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service truly stood out. Our waitress was incredibly kind and attentive--she not only suggested a delicious mimosa flight flavor (which we loved!), but she also went the extra mile to have my BFK made iced, just how I like it. The food was great, the drinks were fun, and the service made our celebration feel extra special. read more

Came here for a brunch date after hearing raving remarks from my boyfriend and I loved it. It was a bit difficult to find parking at this location as it may get a bit busy and there's only street parking, but it's not the end of the world. Walking into the store, there's a bakery and restaurant portion. After getting seated, we decided to order their Wild Northwest Salmon Hash, La Provence Benedict, and a croissant (as they were supposedly very good). Although it was a bit slow, service was so kind. The food itself was delicious. It wasn't so out of the extraordinary, but it was definitely hearty, delicious, and perfect to enjoy with good company. Their croissants were also pretty good (but not the best I've had). All in all, I would definitely come back and it is a favorite for brunch and catching up with friends. read more

I recommend any and all La Provences. The food is always wonderful! Lovely places to go!

Food is good but VERY expensive for what you get. The restaurant is cute, clean and always busy. It took an exceptionally long time to get our food. I would assume they had extra staff on a Labor Day weekend but apparently not. It's a different place to take friends or family from out of town but because of the prices I can't see going here in a regular basis. read more

This was my first time visiting this particular location, and unfortunately, the service didn't meet the standard I've experienced at other locations. Upon arrival, we were handed menus and silverware and simply directed to sit at a table across the dining area--no one escorted us. Moments after sitting down, a waitress approached and asked for our order, which felt rushed since we had just seated ourselves. When our food arrived, it was brought by another staff member, and we didn't have a chance to ask for coffee refills or any condiments. Coffee refills were very slow, and our server was often seen chatting near the kitchen rather than checking in on us with other staff. Later, when we decided to have dessert (mistake), we help ourselves to the pastry area. I picked out an item only to be told it was a day old and, surprisingly, it wasn't offered at a discount or removed from the display. That raised the question--why was it still being sold? (citrus something) After returning to our table with dessert and finishing up, we were ready to leave but couldn't find our server or any staff nearby. We ended up approaching a gentleman ourselves to pay the bill, and he seemed visibly annoyed by the request. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this location due to the lack of attentiveness and overall poor service. read more

Drinks: - I had a sip of the mimosa, I mean it's a mimosa what's not to like. It was served with an edible flower on top. The flower is a little gross not gonna lie, but it did add a nice visual aesthetic to the drink. Very picturesque Food: - The Corned Beef Hash was good, they have a nice in house hot sauce (at least I think it's in house) that pairs really well with this dish, that sauce is amazing. The portions are big so you might have leftovers with this one. The texture of the hash browns were textbook. I wish I got a little bit more beef though - The La Provence Benedict was an interesting experience, but not in a bad way. I've never had a benedict on a croissant before. The croissant flavor is the most salient note. The croissant was really good. If you get this you might want to eat this first because the croissant can get soggy. I'm neither turned off or blown away by this dish to be honest Ambience: - I liked the black walls with yellow trim on the paneling - The seats were very comfortable, at least it was for me - The table we were at had cool designs carved into the table with some stain (or maybe some wood burning technique, either way it was cool to look at and feel the recessed lettering) Overall: The place is good, I wouldn't mind coming back. The croissant was the star of the show for me, I liked it a lot. The service was also very good, our server was very attentive even with a packed Saturday brunch hour. I can see this place being the type of place I'd want to be a regular at. The décor is homey but also elegant at the same time, I don't quite know how to explain it. All I know is that I like it. read more

The Parking of this place is not the best, but the food is great. The service was good too, but I wouldn't say the best. The ambience is good too, and they try to make it quick as possible since there are always a line there, but I really liked the croissants. My favorite is the salmon hash well done. read more

I have eaten here for years. The food is excellent. The interior is bright and calm. There are good outdoor seating options. The coffee is great and the cocktails and pastries are to top notch. Today, the service was poor. We had to ask twice for water, for butter, they provided the wrong entree for one of us, and incorrectly offered me sugar free hazelnut syrup (they don't have this). This is NOT our typical experience. Usually, I would give a solid 4 stars but this was just notably poor. Not sure if she was new or unwell but the experience today was subpar. read more

It was our first time coming here for breakfast and not just for pastries and we were not let down at all. This place was fantastic. This location doesn't have as much indoor seating as some of the other locations but we arrived around 8:15am and we were one of the only people there so it worked out great. Our waitress was super wonderful, we explained that one of the kids had a severe egg allergy and she was able to work with us and confirm what she could eat etc. I got the sunrise juice for breakfast and it was delicious and beautiful. I also got the mushroom goat cheese omelet and it was absolutely amazing. My other daughter got the crepe which she loved that they had something different on their kids menu rather than just the same menu at every single breakfast place. My mother in law got the standard breakfast, and all of us were blown away. I loved that you have the option to get a warm croissant with jam instead of toast, that was honestly one of the highlights! The food was so amazing and we can't wait to return. read more

I'm not going to waste time in this review with fluff. Get the risotto cakes! My friend stole half of my place because it was "the best breakfast item she ever had". Fluff: I got the risotto cakes with potatoes and butternut squash. It also comes with a fresh croissant and jam. The poached egg on top are a nice bonus and add creaminess. My friend got the French toast. They are huge and I recommend sharing. They have a citrusy custard sandwiched between the toast slices. We came here on a Saturday for brunch. We did not need a reservation and got seated really quick. Our waitress was really sweet and everything came out pretty quick. The vibe was giving Pixar Ratatouille in the best way. Street parking available. read more

I'm a regular breakfast customer. Always yummy. Creative menu. I also enjoy the pastries!

Glacial, but friendly, service, and below par food. Don't expect to have your water glass refilled.

Currently sitting here and expecting an absolute lack of service. It took far to long to get seated, even as employees were staring at us while doing nothing. Finally got seated and then promptly ignored. It took some buffoonery on our part to attract attention. Sorry about the mess. I now sit awaiting disappointment. The food was at actually quite good. Western Benedict was lovely. Good flavor and cooked properly. I had to stare into my empty coffee cup for several minutes to get a refill. They were not busy. The waitress had the dialogue of a sixth grader. Good food, bad service. read more

Delighted to share this little gem is still wonderful. Had brunch with my mom today the other day and the food was generous and fresh.

I LOVE eating here. Every time I visit Portland, I make it a point to stop by and have brunch. I have never had a disappointing meal. My favorite thing - the warm croissant and raspberry jam that they serve you before your entrée. I could eat 50 in one sitting. I love it that much. My favorite breakfast item is the corned beef and eggs. They have set the bar for breakfast corned beef. I always ask for an extra side of the horseradish sauce that it comes with. The portions are big, the food is fresh, and the baked goods are on point. If you are in the Portland area, stop by and grab some brunch. read more

This review is for the restaurant not for the bakery I just wanted to clear that out. They amazed me with the hospitality and the great vibe of very French. Staff is nice and we didn't have to wait for long, they accommodated us very nicely with our baby too. Food looked beautiful, and very photos-worthy. However, I would say I did expect it would taste as nice as how they look. The croissant was cold and the french onion soup was very salty. They cooked the poached eggs perfectly, but the taste was just alright. I might expected too much after being amazed by their vibe so maybe it was just me. I didn't realize they were a chain. The bakery looked beautiful though. Maybe I would try the bakery only next time. read more

If I can't think of a brunch spot, I always think of Petite Provence. The restaurant is small but I never have any issues waiting too long for a table.

My boyfriend and I were hankering for some breakfast, so we headed over here right after our flight since it was listed as one of the eats we needed to check out. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, but we opted to just sit at the bar since it was the first available option. The bartender was nice, courteous and got our orders in a timely manner. My boyfriend had gotten the chorizo hash scramble, which came with black refried beans, while I had gotten the west cost benedict. He really enjoyed how the chorizo was spicy but then was countered with the cilantro crème fraîche to make the perfect blend. I also enjoyed how the benedict was served with a croissant instead of an English muffin; I feel like it gave it much more flavor! All in all, it was a great first stop to eat at Portland! read more

I've been to the NE Alberta location before, and loved it, and this was my first time here. I had a fabulous, filling lunch here and didn't eat again for the rest of the night. If you need a fancy cake for a special occasion, you can get it here. All of the desserts looked amazing. I started off with a Bloody Mary, which was absolutely perfect -- spicy, yummy, crisp veggies, spice around the rim. I ordered a cup of French Onion soup -- perfect. The broth was much more flavorful than others I've had in Portland, and it wasn't overly salty. Then I got the Monte Cristo, which is enormous. My husband and shared half and brought the other half home. There's a bit of pineapple, which went so well with the ham and turkey. It wasn't quite as warm and crisp as it could have been, but it was so extraordinary, I couldn't complain. I heated up the other half in my oven at home the next day, and it was amazing. We couldn't leave without trying dessert, since they all looked so good, so we had cappuccinos and a Versailles cake, which is a decadent square of chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, and caramel covered with a firm, yet gooey fondant. It satisfied every chocolate craving I ever had in my life. I'll be back! read more
