We visited from a friend's recommendation. Food was delicious, perfect sized portions. Service was prompt, friendly and professional. The space was intimate, very similar to other Boston eateries. We had a reservation ahead of time, upon entering we were greeted by every single steward. To get to our table we went through the kitchen (which was my favorite part!). It was warm, welcome and delectable. Oh and we had an EXCELLENT bottle of champagne. Overall, would recommend !

I went in the late afternoon and had such a lovely time at Petit Robert Bistro! Their patio is spacious, and the interior is absolutely beautiful, very aesthetic and charming. It’s the perfect spot for a date night, or a girls’ get-together. You have to try the octopus appetizer called poulpe sauté, it is so flavorful! For our entrées, we had the Magret de canard and the Boeuf bourguignon. Both were outstanding, the beef was incredibly tender, and the duck was full of flavor. And the crème brûlée for dessert was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. I loved every single dish. The staff was very kind, and our waiter Max was especially attentive he explained the dishes so well and gave us great suggestions. Highly recommend this place!

We made brunch reservations for today and enjoyed the experience. The staff was welcoming and the atmospheer was much like a Parisian Bistro. The food was excellent. My wife had the salmon and I, the beet salad with tuna which was perfectly seared and a wonderful accompaniment. presentation was excellent. Our server was cordial but not overly attentive. The portions were quite generous. Petit Robert Bistro is a keeper- we will be returning.

Walked in on Saturday evening, snagged seats at the bar. Bread and butter was fresh and delicious. Also ordered the raw salmon appetizer which was classic. The boeuf bourguignon was very tender, and the mashed potato was amazing. Can’t forget the drinks either!

Petit Robert in Back Bay feels like stumbling into a Parisian dinner party where everyone actually wants to be there. ✨🇫🇷 The service alone deserves a standing ovation. We were welcomed in on a freezing cold Friday night at prime dinner time with no reservation, and seated immediately. Julian and Alexander were fantastic, but honestly the whole team radiates that rare energy of people who genuinely like their workplace and each other. It’s warm, effortless, and playful in a way you can’t fake. You’re not just being served dinner, you’re being welcomed into the vibe. The ambiance seals the deal. Cozy, charming, and perfectly French without trying too hard. The kind of place where time slows down, conversations linger, and another glass of wine feels inevitable. Great service, great atmosphe
