P'tit Louis Bistro - Corrales

After reading The 100 Foot Journey , my wife was craving French food, so we decided to try out this cozy bistro. We arrived at their opening for our reservation and stayed for a little over two hours. Alex was perfectly attentive, never rushing. We started with the Mussels Marineires which had a fantastic broth, but a couple of them were a little gritty. We ordered both entrée specials for the evening: Beef Bourguinon for her and for myself, Gulf Coast caught Cobio on a bed of rice, asparagus, and drizzled with a lemon butter sauce. Both dishes were fantastic, appropriately sized portions. I sopped up all of the lemon butter sauce with my baguette, it was so good. For dessert she got Cherry Clafoutis and I got the Crème Brulée. I had dessert envy as hers was devine, while mine was too eggy, and lacked accompanying fresh fruit. All in all, I would highly recommend for an unrushed, intimate evening with your significant other.

We went here for our anniversary dinner and were quite pleased. We had the half and half muscles which were very good despite us expecting the two types of sauce to be served separately (they were mixed), and the duck, which was also very good. The prices were a bit higher than I expected (more expensive than Scalo used to be), but didn't feel like we paid too much in the end.

Their Sunday brunch menu was amazing! So much food for a great cost. We had a party of 8 people and the waiter was so attentive to us He was funny and entertaining. When we arrived they had the name of our party on the sign outside welcoming us. Each item on the brunch menu was delicious and everyone enjoyed their meals. We will be back!

A hidden gem. With less than a dozen tables, this cozy place serves incredible French food. They do mussels 6 different ways (the traditional and Roquefort are both to die for) and also serve wine by the 1/4 carafe. Truly decadent.

Food was good, service personable. Only think I was on fence was selection of glasses of wine.
