Petit Trois

Open and operating non-stop from noon until late night, this bijou is the casual sibling of Trois Mec next door. The narrow room is always full and the counter cramped, as the chefs display their skills before you, assembling such lovely dishes as pâté de campagne. And while the setting may not sound overly comfortable, there is a focus on service, which makes every meal here a pleasant experience from start to finish.
The French hip-hop in the background eschews tradition, but the cooking does the exact opposite. This menu is a canon of bistro favorites, like garlicky escargots de Bourgogne, steak frites with mustard sauce and what may be the city’s best omelet. Try their "Big Mec," a double cheeseburger with bordelaise and house sauce and fries.
