 La Petite Grocery Restaurant Review: Formerly a fine grocery and thereafter a flower shop, this charming space houses one of Uptown's most virtuous kitchens. Chef Justin Devillier excels with French classics (don’t miss the crab beignets with aïoli) and a light touch. Impeccable ingredients, many locally grown, are showcased in a polished but unpretentious manner on a seasonally updated menu. We like the gratin of blue crab baked in Brie cream, braised pork osso buco served over stone-ground grits and smothered greens, and the “Louisiana bouillabaisse," which rotates off the menu from time to time. The wine list may not be as lengthy as those at some comparable restaurants, but the smart balance of domestic and European selections is well conceived. Diners can find everything from a straightforward Washington State Cabernet to a more complex Clerc Milon Pauillac Grand Cru Classé Bordeaux. Imagine finding a 1995 Burgess Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, which pairs well with Devillier’s grilled beef tenderloin with lemon and veal jus. Look for a good line-up of by-the-glass choices, as well as several surprise offerings such as the Marqués de Cáceres Rioja Reserva 2004. For dessert, the Louisiana cane sugar crème brûlée and the carrot ginger cake accented with crème fraîche ice cream will compete for your attention. |
