La Piquette is a family-friendly neighborhood bistro known for its warm and accommodating staff. The restaurant serves delicious food with generous portions and a variety of options to please every palate. The menu features both small dishes and larger portions, including favorites like the gazpacho, which has been praised as exceptional, and classic items such as the lentil salad. Customers enjoy the lively atmosphere, although it can be noisy inside, which some find distracting. During the summer, outdoor seating offers a pleasant alternative for dining, and many guests appreciate the outdoor experience, especially on nice evenings, despite some mentioning the need for mosquito repellent. The wine selection is well-liked, with many enjoying the excellent bottle of Sancerre or other choices. The staff provides attentive service, often engaging with guests in a friendly manner, and even offers special touches like a glass of champagne for celebrations. Highlights include the veal dish with frites, short ribs—considered outstanding—and escargot, which are highly recommended. The short ribs are particularly praised for their quality, and the steak frites is also a favorite. Customers often enjoy the beet salads, one with goat cheese and another with burrata. The leek and potato soup is another standout, with many visitors planning to return for it. While some appetizers like the crab cake received mixed reviews, the entrees and wines are usually well enjoyed, though the Assiette de Fromages was noted as lacking in variety. Overall, La Piquette remains a great choice for both special occasions and everyday meals, offering an inviting vibe, good service, and a lively, European-like atmosphere.
