Le Penguin

We've made this pilgrimage to the Le Penguin now every trip to beautiful and charming Greenwich,Ct. It feels just like Paris without airports and long air flights! The entry is charming with dark blue velvet drapes as an airlock and create some illusion of entering another world! Once inside Le Penguin we are always reminded of the beautiful orange grass cloth wall coverings and royal blue trim work. Unique and appetizing! This "trip to Paris" we shared a gorgeous hamburger with the world best authentic French fries! But started with a rich bowl of steaming hot French onion soup! Perfect choice for 13" of snow on the ground. My beautiful daughter had the prawns on the garden salad. The picture shows enough to encourage you to be healthy! An extensive wine list is available with a beautifu

Basically - this place is a consistent 10 for lunch. Classic French bistro with a great scene. Only thing more consistent than the brown bag of warm delicious French bread delivered when you sit down is the Birkin bag held by the woman sitting next to you. Glasses of wine pretty much everywhere. Service is warm and prompt. Escargot and mussels are always a great call. Tempting specials can be found on the wall mounted chalkboard. Have not been here for dinner but can’t imagine it disappoints.

Classic French bistro food but not average at all. Cozy lively vibe. Couldn’t have had a better lunch.

We were seated at 12:30 for lunch and ordered our appetizers, The delicious escargot and yummy pate arrived at our table almost immediately. Then we waited and waited approximately 50 minutes while others who arrived after us were served. The Niçoise salad for $30 had three small slices of tuna. The burger that was to be medium, was rare. The filet mignon, that was to be rare was medium. The steak was accompanied with a peppercorn sauce that was definitely spoiled and we returned it to the waiter. Never did he offer an apology or offer a substitute to go with the steak. We paid our bill and went across the street to the bakery for coffee and dessert.

Le Penguin provided an outstanding dining experience that deserves five stars! The duck was cooked to perfection, bursting with rich flavors and tender texture. The steak frites were equally impressive, with juicy steak and perfectly crispy fries. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was impeccable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable meal!
