    (Restaurant) Petit Paris really reeled me in. The moment I set my eyes on the sign from across the street, scanning the facade of the old building, I couldn't believe to have mumbled that I vowed to come back. And so I did exactly 2 days after. Their street sign by the doorway on the side of the building offered affordable set menus for 1-, 2-, and 3-course meals under £20. I was imagining a Parisian getaway, something to whisk me away from boredom. After a flight of stairs, I was dulled. I felt as if coming into another mundane British pub atmosphere, smelling that sticky feeling on a hardwood surface. However, I was hungry and food is top priority. A staff member ushered me to my table in the corner (which I do prefer) and had me browsing through the menu. I already rehearsed what I wanted in my mind, 2-course meals for 2 so I can sample 2 appetisers and 2 main courses. I mean, how bad can that be right? But then, decided to just go for 2-course menu with 1 more appetisers a la carte. So, for appetisers, I chose wild mushroom risotto beignets with tarragon beurre blanc and ham hock terrine with wholegrain mustard mayonnaise, pickled carrot and sourdough, and mains was confit duck leg with aromatic red cabbage, pomme sauté, caramelised apples and port jus. I had the staff member crinkle his brows for a second but he knows he'll be able to make it possible at his manager's advise. But when both the appetisers came, and I missed out on telling him to pace gradually, they were in decent portions. The risotto beignets, on their own, were confusing. Not creamy. And fatty, but that was because they're deep-fried. I was thinking little pockets of bread with a creamy risotto inside when you slice it open. The tangy mushrooms and sauce on the side weren't much of help either. The cold terrine with pickled carrot on top of the bone dry, toasted sourdough, the flavour was unremarkable. Both of them had already made me stuffed with probably a third left for the actual course. And I was right, the duck leg was enormous but I wasn't too thrilled. The apple, potato and cabbage sure make a nice medley on your fork but duck was grainy rather than juicy and couldn't really satiate the umami. I had a sauv blanc, but wished I went for red. So credits to the affordable price range and definitely filling portions. As an observation, the restaurant has regulars making advance table reservations at the reception as they exit. Definitely for Christmas.

    It’s located very close to Victoria center at Kings Walk. It’s in a beautiful historical building so you have different sitting area. We were seated next to the window and the service staff lead by Francis and Celine is really nice and friendly! The food is freshly prepared, well presented and delicious! Only down side is the French fries… would prefer them using hand cut 🥔 would be perfect. Overall it’s really lovely to enjoy the hospitality of dining out. They offer 1,2 & 3 courses at very reasonable price and well worth to give it a try if you around town center!

    Please don’t miss this restaurant if you are ever in Nottingham. My brother took my wife and I to lunch and the food and service was fantastic. Our server Selina and the wine waitress Shy are the nicest people you could ever meet. My brother loved the Lyonnaise soup followed by rump steak with Stilton sauce and cheese platter for desert. My wife enjoyed the brie fondue followed by Chicken supreme and profiteroles for desert. I had the same starter as my wife followed by duck and also profiteroles for desert. Everything was delicious, good portions and beautifully presented. House red, Michel Servin complimented everything. My wife also had a glass of white. Cappuccinos all round complimented desert. The ambiance is lovely and the view of King Street from above enchanting. Exceptional restaurant in every way. Staircase to enter from exchange walk is easy but is a few steps and no elevator.

    Note: this was a Groupon voucher dinner. Apart from being charged ~ 5 gbp on top of the Groupon voucher at the end of dinner, everything was perfect. The food was great, the experience was wonderful, the staff were absolutely lovey. The place and music was beautiful, felt like I was in France.

    Mixed quality of service with average food. The ham hock terrine starter was tasting but a ridiculously sized portion. Duck main made me glad I filled up on the ham hock.

    Booked a table for 10, for their Christmas menu, which we told them we wanted. Arrived, and was told that the Christmas menu doesn't start for a week. Very bad start to a family Christmas meal. Then they got our drinks wrong, bought sparkling water instead of still, and forgot the white wine. Excellent starters, main courses and desserts. Good-sized helpings and delicious. Very good service. Would certainly come again.

    Overall very nice, we came with the Groupon and the servers are very polite and attentive. Ambiance is very pleasant Food came out quite fast,the salmon pate was nice and the other duck starter was okay. Very large portions for mains, which were good Pudding could have been a bit better, the sable tart was a little tasteless

    Starters bland; had the salmon and the Brie cheese “fondue”. Mains very good, the beef bourguignon was really nice and it would be perfect if the meat wasn’t so dry. Desserts was ok, nothing special. The bill will add 20% vat so don’t be fooled like us thinking what great prices the food is because the bill will be very different than what the menu shows. My expensive ish (£30) umbrella was stolen there too. We left and realised we left the umbrella about half way home. We called 30mins after we left to put the umbrella aside and we will collect the the next day, but the staff said it’s not there. So either a member of staff took it or another customer. But the fact that it’s only been 30mins is just a bit weird. For that reason I think 2 stars is appropriate. Food not exceptional, misleading prices due to added vat to bill and stolen belongings :(

    I got gifted a groupon voucher for the place for my birthday so me and my partner went for food. Staff were friendly and super helpful. We weren’t sure what was included for the deal but they explained it to us. Food was lovely, never had french cuisine properly before but it was nice to try something new. I had duck cakes as a starter, lamb with gnocchi for main and they brought out a special surprise with my baileys bread and butter pudding. Place was really easy to find using google maps too and a short walk from the train station.

    Absolutely love this place. Have been a few times and the food is always good. Adventurous and tasty, big portion sizes, varying menu that’s changed pretty often, and deals on 2 courses that make it super worth the money! The setting is very luxury and there’s always a good vibe, the staff are great, and wine is good value too! One of the best in Nottingham for good value for money, as a student, it was great for affordable but fancy celebrations.

    We (2) were ' walk ins' for lunch on a Wednesday. Place was quite busy. We were made welcome. Service was prompt and pleasant. Food was served promptly it was hot, fresh made and very tasty. Coffee to follow. (They weren't able to offer other than full fat milk and had no decaff coffee to offer) They currently are adding 10% surcharge to menu prices to cover ingredient inflation. They will remove this if asked. Gratuities are on top. Would gladly return.

    Not been here for years. Can not praise the attentive staff for their service enough. And the rump steak was fantastic. A mixed group of customers and was sat in a small back room, which initially thought was going to be quiet, too quiet but it wasn't. Enjoyable evening.

    Had a really great meal here for my birthday. Everyone was happy with their food, my steak was cooked perfectly. Great wines too. The waiting staff were attentive and they even sent over a glass of prosecco as a present. Highly recommend! The one thing I would say is that they could do with a bit of background music for some ambience. Otherwise, can't fault it!

👍👍 Absolutely amazing! I went to have lunch on my graduation day with my friends. Food was very flavourful and cocktails were nice. Special dietary options are available and you always get 2-4-1 cocktails. Service was really friendly and approachable. Ambience and music is just cherry on top.
