Not just the best restaurant in Hyde Park, but, in my opinion, the very finest French restaurant in Chicago. With the veeerrry particular owner in the kitchen who finds every opportunity to come to the dining room to assure perfection in service to accompany the best food. And I can't help but make some recommendations like the roasted onion tart appetizer to begin. Then the duck breast entre. You can come back the next night for the Idaho Trout. Or just drive around the block because you still haven't tasted the scallops! Who would have thought a place like this would be virtually hidden in a strip mall, albeit one with a pleasant courtyard in one of the best neighborhoods in the City.
If you are looking for high quality authentic French cuisine at a reasonable price, then La Petite Folie is the restaurant for you. i recently had their roasted Halibut with ratatouille and baby potatoes and it was outstanding!. The dish itself was a work of art with each component distinct yet complimenting the whole. But the perfectly prepared Halibut was the star. It was moist and yet the fish flaked perfectly with a little assistance from my fork. And i can say, with no hesitation it was the most delicious fish i have ever tasted!
My first experience here with a group of schuler scholar family. The waiters were very kind, and the food had very beautiful presentation. The chef gave us details about the food (specifically the soup). Me and my friends had a very good time here. We originally came here for etiquette skills (even as a minor).... Definitely not like a fast food restaurant, it was a great reminder to be joyous and not to rush yourself. I thank you for the great experience!
Listen if you are looking for a fast meal in a trendy and hip place. Dont go here. But if you are looking for quality and to slow down, appreciate the company and taste at an affordable price this is now my go to option in hyde park. The deserts are something special as is the rest of the meal.

This place has the most delicious food. The service provided was impeccable. The owner came out to make sure we were happy with everything. Portions were more than fair and cooked to perfection. Forgot to take pictures of our 1st course and dessert.
The closing of this Petite eatery and elevated cafe has coincided with a melancholic moment of my own life's journey ...Time marches on forward with or without one's desires or doubts. C'est la Vie
Excellent French food at this restaurant. We were very surprised to find this gem in a small strip mall in Hyde Park in Chicago.
Flawless meal, great service, excellent wine list. This restaurant is one of the south lakefront's hidden gems.
