Le Petit Chef - Saint-Quentin

We walked around town looking for a lunch spot after visiting the market. We asked for a table and found we had been given the last one as three other groups were turned away after us. We liked wine was available by the glass, carafe and bottle all at reasonable prices for good wines. The bread was excellent, the starters good and the mains very good. Service was friendly and reasonably attentive. We liked the different salad garnish with both starters and mains. Both duck and steak served suitably pink. A good lunch!

We were staying at a B&B in Maissemy and came into town for dinner. We had a good look round and discovered le Petit Chef. We liked the look of the menu and went in. We had a nice welcome from the waitress and as the restaurant was quiet were able to choose our own table. The decor is very nice and everywhere was clean, including the loos. The menu is short, with three choices for each course, which I like as you know everything is freshly cooked. We shared a very good rabbit terrine, served with mache salad, cornichons and lovely bread. My husband opted for the steak which was tender and delicious, and I had the veal chop which was lovely. Both were cooked just as we requested. We had a carafe of wine, and I had a cafe gourmand to finish. Very good value, nice atmosphere and pleasant staff. I would recommend it if you are in the area.

Friendly ambiance, staff who tolerate my French, enjoyable food and drink at a reasonable price. We would go again.

What a joy this place was! My wife and I were travelling back to the UK from holiday and stayed one night in St Quentin a lovely town about and hour and half drive from Calais. We made a walk in to this busy little bistro and had a great welcome, were offered the last table and ......wow what a meal! We had mains of veal in gravy sauce and lamb chops with creamy mashed potato which were both fabulous and reasonably prIced at around 15 Euro each. We then had dessert of creme brûlée with apple just fantastic, and a bottle of lovely Beaujolais all for 66 Euro plus a healthy tip, which was richly deserved for this lovely place and it’s super friendly and efficient staff..including a fantastic chef! We will for sure visit again!

Searching for somewhere to eat in St Quentin on a Monday night, we came across this bistro/brasserie which was busy with locals and which had an attractive outside eating area. The food is perfectly reasonable if slightly overpriced and the waiting staff are attentive. It is nice eating outside in the summer, and it is well situated in the centre of town. Altogether it would certainly be possible to do worse, but it was only marginally above average.
