Petit Bistro

Ordered my favorite cesar salad with chicken liver which is unlike anything out there, its the bomb!!! Plus the spicy shrimp, beef skewers and wine, perfect!

Notice the empty serving dish? In 2 minutes, the sautéed shrimp in that dish was gone. That’s how good it was. The sauce itself is delightful enough to put on that piece of bread beside it. Yes, it’s that gooood! And that’s just the appetizer. Let’s go now to my medium well rib eye steak. Juicy, tender, grill-tasting piece of heavenly meat! It’s red wine sauce can even stand on it’s own. I’d love to take it home and spread it on anything. The fries that come with it are very generously served. The bottle of wine (Fitou) was econimically priced so I ordered one as well. Location was so easy. Enter the dropoff area in Festival mall’s new wing, turn left, a few steps and you’re there. We were supposed to be in the area for something else but after tasting the food, driving an hour from Marikina just for this (hopefully soon next time), would be definitely worth it... and I’m not drunk yet as I write this. Congratulations Petit Bistro! Perfect collaboration of French and Ilongga talent and heart.

You definitely get value for money! We love the food. Variety of dishes all came with sumptuous taste. Love the sauteed shrimp and steaks. I highly recommend this place to all friends from south and even north. Us,from Antipolo, found it worth driving for! Thank you and hats off to the chef, Glenda Lastimoso Maupin. Until our next visit more to try. Cheers for your success Glenda to Petit Bistro!

The choice in name is quite appropriate...Petit Bistro. All across France there are petit bistros or small family owned restaurants serving traditional dishes either endemic to a location or comfort food loved by patrons. The one in Festival Mall is owned by a Frenchman, Jacques Maupin who married a Filipina, Glenda, who also happens to be the head chef of this restaurant. They have a 3-course lunch meal promo that goes for P360. I chose Meal C which had Pumpkin Soup, Beef Ragu Linguini, Chocolate Mousse with a serving of Iced Tea. The soup was velvety, delicate and savory at the same time. Typical of French bistros, there was cream in the soup but not that heavy. You could still taste the subtle nature of pumpkin which is a staple in France. Beef Ragu Linguini is already an Italian adaptation of the French Ragout which was brought over by Napoleon and his armies in their campaign to Northern Italy. Original French ragout only came in mutton, but the Italians also adapted it to chicken while the beef stew ragu was a Neapolitan specialty. Bistro 's Ragu was satisfyingly succulent, meaty and the stew is similar to another French classic, the Bourgignon which is braised with red wine, often red Burgundy. Their mousse is smooth and decadent. Ooh lala.. sooo good! Next time, I want to try their cheese and sausage platter with some wine. Probably, their adaptation of French tapas as well.

Very cosy place, staff is really accommodating, food is good, and price are a bit expensive but worth it.they offers complimentary birthday dessert 3 claps for Petit Bistroo!!!!
