What OpenTable Diner doesn't like about Bistrot La Minette:
Honest review: Service was on point, attentive and quick but not overbearing . Excellent service experience. Ambience was really nice . Food: I had the scallops, definitely too bland and not enough flavors in the dish or interesting plating to constitute the price. Escargots were quite good, and the crème brûlée was quite good . Overall, a nice dinner but would recommend a better main course View all feedback. What Erica likes about Bistrot La Minette:
When they say that Philadelphia is the Frenchiest city, they are absolutely directly talking about this restaurant. Traditional French menu items that are absolutely cooked to perfection and have interesting flavors. High-quality ingredients. I highly recommend the escargot, scallops, trout, and literally any dessert. Much better than many of the French staples around the city. View all feedback.

Despite some mixed reviews, this charming French bistro offers an authentic Parisian experience. While some diners had issues with overcooked steaks and bland salads, there were moments of greatness such as the fantastic Foie Gras terrine and the delightful Escargot. The ambiance was lovely, cocktails were well-crafted, and the service was friendly and attentive. The high prices of the wine list were noted, but overall this restaurant seems to deliver on quality French cuisine. From delicious duck dishes to decadent desserts, this spot appears to be a great pick for a romantic night out or special occasion.
