Petite Chou Bistro and Champagne Bar

Nothing feels more special than a little heart shaped cookie with a fancy latte.Ok technically they're ear shaped the French call them Palmiers, Latin places call them Orejas, either way they're adorable.The service is always splendid, I prefer to go after a rush when it's quieter. But nothing is like sitting on the heated patio with your fancy coffee and Palmier at the like iron and marble tables it always takes me right back to Paris. The omelettes are also the best in the city, highly recommend the Omelette you can't refuse with potatoes cheese and sour cream.

We sat in the enclosed outside area, which has heaters and blankets but they could definitely benefit from a latch on the door that kept blowing open. It was super cute and cozy but the door would whip open and make the whole room freezing. Veg options are lacking, which is surprising given how great Patachou is. Menu is not labeled, even the veggie burger comes with duck fat fries. I asked my server what the options were and she said a few things that surprised me, like the onion soup. I asked her to double check if that and other items were vegetarian, and she came back saying the soup had beef stock. She didn't mention any other items and it felt ridiculous to need to ask for every single item, so I had the cheese plate. Cheese plate was ok - glad they could accommodate no walnuts for me but it was 2 fully funky cheeses, one mildly funky, and 1 non funky so it was just not my taste at all. I'm sure the beet burger could be veg without the fries, but not an option if you have a nut allergy. Service was very slow. Between our entree and dessert, our waitress disappeared for at least 30 minutes. We were there for a birthday and specifically because the birthday girl likes their desserts, so we waited a long time trying to order and ultimately just asked a different staff member if she could take our order and clear the old plates. Everyone enjoyed their desserts, so that was a success. The table loved the Madelines and would recommend those with a cup of coffee.

I'm a long-time fan of Petite Chou, as the restaurant is nestled in my neighborhood, and just wonderful on so many levels. Let's start with the most important people, the wait staff and chefs. They are welcoming, consistent, and lovely people. As a person with food allergies, both FOH and BOH set me at ease and have various levels of care based on severity of allergies. The food itself is tasty, cozy, and very seasonally driven which is lovely. There's something for everyone so you can bring your more adventurous folks and those with a more limited palate and all will be well! Make sure to get an order of frites and thank me later! I equally love sitting on the patio or indoors. During the cool months the patio is enclosed and heated. The decor is changed with the seasons and is all part of the cozy, Parisian vibe. If you have time to linger, don't skip on their espresso drinks, wine, or cocktails. All are very thoughtfully chosen and great pairings to any meal. Parking can be found on the east side of the building at no cost, or you can park on the street.

This is my go-to spot when I want to impress friends and family with great food and a nice vibe. The food is super flavorful, and everything on the plate just works great together. The service is solid too! The only downside is the wait... I've had to wait over an hour for a table sometimes, but honestly, it's worth it!

The food was good. That's it. The service was absolutely horrendous. We were seated and had to wait 15 minutes before we got up and went back to the hostess to ask for our waiter. Then, a separate waitress stepped in to assist with drinks. 20 minutes later our assigned waiter arrived and introduced himself. The exact same scenario happened to the table next to us, 1 hour later. He was clearly overwhelmed with too many tables. He never apologized once or gave an explanation. Aside from that, the drinks were very overpriced ($15 each). The quality of the drink did not constitute the price. Will I be back? No.

Such a cute place to dine at for brunch. Lovely ambiance, great atmosphere, and lively vibe. Food was good too. I had ordered the mushroom deluxe omelet plate, and then for dessert I ordered the Nutella crepe and added fresh fruits and ice cream to complete it. My friend ended up ordering the french toast and Mac and cheese. Service was great!! He was very attentive and friendly. Keep it up Petite Chou!! I highly recommend this place, and I'll def be back when I'm in the area. :)

Unforgettable NYE! My husband and I made reservations for the night, mostly because of the menu, and it did not disappoint. Our server Randy was kind and attentive and our cozy table on the patio was the cherry on top.

This French inspired bistro has beautiful decor and delicious food. I sat on the heated patio and enjoyed Saturday brunch. I had the broken yolk sandwich, which came with a salad. I got it with sourdough bread and it was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had! The patio is decorated wonderfully. I looked inside and it was beautiful, but looked a bit crowded. The patio is the place to be. It is also dog friendly. I enjoyed my time here and would love to return for champagne and fries!

This has got to be my favorite restaurant in Indianapolis.Steak frites, mussels, knife and fork burger, croque madame all are wonderful. Everything is always cooked to order and tastes amazing. Creature of habit with their kir royale which is wonderful as well.The patio is very cute. It's a nice spot to just stop and relax and enjoy great food. Service is 90% there. Only once I had a server who was very underwhelming. Otherwise it's always great!

Sat outside, heaters were a big help and they had blankets at each table. Our waiter was lovely! He gave us plenty of time to look over the menu and hangout after our meal. Aesthetically pleasing for pictures. SANDWICH AU POULET FRIT 7/10* (Pan-seared or breaded and fried chicken, brioche bun, sliced avocado, shaved brussels slaw, aioli)- hated the bun, but very tender chicken, no sign of shaved brussel sprouts. Light on the avocado.DUCK FAT POMMES FRITES 7.9/10* (Fine herbs, Dijonnaise, Add truffled parmesan)- good fries, they were very short. Came with a beautiful assortment of sauce. CHICKEN SALAD TARTINE -/10* (Sourdough boule, greens, Patachou chicken salad)- didn't get to try but looked great
