Petite Provence-A SE Portland French Bistro

French Bistro

French Bistro

When I have meandered by Petite Provence in the past I have often thought that it would be a great place to pop in for a croissant and coffee.  I was often dissuaded by the long lines out the door on the weekends, because I don’t feel like waiting in line is a great way to spend a free morning.  However, my wife and I recently found some time to visit for lunch, and I quickly found out what I had been missing.

Besides the regular, and fantastic, assortment of French Pastries (authentic and fresh!), Petite Provence has a really good lunch menu.  I think I may have tasted one of my favorite sandwiches in Portland with “Le Provencal”.  Toasted brioche, sliced pork, lettuce, tomato and caramelized onion perfectly complemented each other in this sandwich for two.  My wife and I picked up some pastries from the bakery for the next days breakfast and to avoid the inevitable line.

While Petite Provence is not a Dinner destination like Le Bouchon or Carafe (Steak Frites!), it is a welcome destination for breakfast and lunch in this SE neighborhood location of Richmond.
