This review is taken from the current (2011) edition.
Rich green walls, a caramel carpet and light streaming through windows certainly appeal to the ladies and gentlemen who lunch upstairs in La P’tite Folie, Randolph Place. Or maybe they come for the food. The menu, which is shared with its bistro-style sister in Frederick Street, features a variety of French and French-inspired dishes. There are mussels and soups or a smooth chicken pâté with salad for starters. In addition, for dinner, try a sunburst of boudin noir and intensely flavoured sautéed apple surrounding leaves dressed with sherry vinaigrette. Mains include rich boeuf bourguignon, salmon on a bed of robust red wine risotto or pan-fried sea bass. Do leave room for desserts like pistachio and honey cheesecake, a crisp but chewy base with crushed nuts mixed through the mascarpone topping, or a more traditional French apple tart. There’s a good cheese plate, and a choice of predominantly French wines to wash it down – and you can acquaint yourself with them properly in the attractive Le Di-Vin wine bar next door.
- High point: The upstairs room is so light and restful
- Low point: Cider served at Frederick Street, but not the Randolph Place location
