Bistrot La Minette

...said someone who has never been to Philadelphia. We like our city just fine, merci. And we can’t wait to reopen our doors and bring a little slice of France to Queen Village once again this spring.

Remember brunch? (Us, too. And we can’t wait until it’s back.) Soon, amis. Soon.

MERCI to all who joined us for Valentine’s Day, and stay tuned: plans for our next Chez Peggy et Peter Pop-Up are underway...

We are getting ready...! A few seats are left for our decadent Saint-Valentin meal Chez Peggy et Peter. Savor a lavish menu for two, all cooked to order by Chef Peter and served by his wife, Peggy, at a comfortable table for two in our socially distanced dining room. Your ticket is all-inclusive: the entire meal, from hors d’oeuvres to dessert, plus beverage pairing with each course (including a bottle of Grand Cru Bordeaux), tax, and gratuity. There’s no better way to celebrate on this most unusual Valentine’s Day. Click to book: bit.ly/SaintValentinLaMinette

Who’s coming to Gabi for the $45 Bistrot Menu this Wed??

(And ours rises again at Gabi on Wednesday, just in case you need your French Food Fix...!) $45 for 3 courses from Chef Kenny, who led us for 5 years. Come Bistrot with us.

Our next pop-up at Gabi is Wed 10/21. (And yes: our Mille Feuille aux Framboises misses you, too...)

The setting is different, but the dish still looks just right: Chef Kenny’s Oeuf du Pêcheur at Gabi is [chef’s kiss]...! Reservations are available NOW for his weekly Bistrot Pop-Ups, available every Wednesday for indoor and outdoor dining. $45 for 3 courses.

We’re throwing it ALL the way back. And not just with these photos of owner Peter and wife Peggy. (Though: aren’t they cute??) Beginning later this month, we will open our doors for an extremely special Throwback Dinner Series. 12 guests per night will enjoy a lavish, socially distanced, multi-course meal in our dining room. ALL of the food will be prepared by Peter. (Yes, he is washing all the dishes, too.) ALL of the service will be carried out by Peggy. $200 includes bever...age pairings, tax, and gratuity. Join us for a glimpse at what made us want to open this restaurant in the first place. Please note that we are already SOLD OUT for October. We will release our November dates soon. To be the first to know, sign up for our newsletter (https://lp.constantcontactpages.com//B9GB/bistrotlaminette). We hope to see you for one of these very special meals, and we thank you as always for your continued support. P.S. if you made it this far, you deserve an extra treat: we are popping up every Wednesday at our sister restaurant, Gabi! Head on over to their profile for all the details. Cheers, amis!

The Inquirer featured Happy Hour at both La Peg and Gabi recently! Raising a glass to our sister spots and urging you to check out their specials, too

Dreaming of the day when we can be together again. Making plans to make it happen. Stay tuned. We have an announcement coming soon...

Popping into your feed to remind you that our friends at La Peg Brasserie at Fringe Arts have lobster rolls, and our friends at Gabi Restaurant have a whole rainbow of cocktails. We just thought you’d like to know

We’ll be back. And when we are, we will lift a glass together. Until then, get your French fix at Gabi Restaurant (Broad at Callowhill) and your Biergarten end-of-summer fun at La Peg Brasserie at Fringe Arts (Columbus Blvd. at Race).

We are keeping the candle lit. But we are taking a break...for now. What a decade 2020 has been! Here at Bistrot La Minette, we’ve done our best to roll with every punch. But as we approach 6 months since we were directed to close our dining room, our PPP money has been spent. We are immensely grateful to everyone who has joined us for take-out and outdoor dining this summer, but that small operation is no longer enough to keep us open. We are suspending service effective Su...nday, August 30. Our team will evaluate the situation weekly as things progress, and we will be back as soon as we are able to reopen safely, in a way that will allow us to stay open for many years to come. Again: merci from the bottom of our hearts to all of you who have supported us over these 12 wonderful years, and especially, these past few crazy months. We hope that you will visit our sister restaurants, La Peg and Gabi, for good food and warm hospitality until we are able to welcome you back. Our Best, Team La Minette
