    Interesting food and atmosphere

    I went here with a large group and we all enjoyed the food. It really is about small plates too! The service was excellent as was the foods that we tried. And the decor also added to a pleasurable evening.

    Cozy for Dinner

    Visiting the city on a very cold weekend, we had a very nice experience at Petits Plats. Downstairs rooms are cozy with fireplaces, service was good and everything we had was very delicious. I seriously suggest you try the foie gras, it is house made.

    There's a parking garage on the corner of Calvert and Woodley. It's about a five minute walk from Restaurant.
