La Petite Grocery

La Petite Grocery is located at 4238 Magazine Street. When they call you to confirm your reservation, they will give you the code to a parking lot across the street (next to Model Cleaners).




The interior is dark and old school. Fortunately, their dress code is not too strict--no tank tops for men. Jeans were okay.


Maine Root Ginger Brew--$4. This had a little burn but I prefer Blenheim's Ginger Ale.


Complimentary bread


The soup of the day was Cauliflower, Brown Butter, Hazelnut & Chives--$12. It was rich and creamy but not worth $12.


Blue Crab Beignets with Malt Vinegar Aioli--$17 (5 beignets). I was looking forward to these. They were loaded with crab but I wasn't that impressed with it. It just didn't have enough flavor and the inside was a little mushy.


LPG Cheeseburger--$18. This was a very good burger. It had a lot of flavor and was cooked perfectly medium rare. The fries were crispy.


Roasted Broccoli with Bagna Cauda & Chili Flake--$12. It was overloaded with anchovy and too salty.


Turtle Bolognese--$24. Bucatini, sherry, parsley & fried soft boiled egg. I liked the flavor but there was too much sauce. It needed more noodles. If I lived in New Orleans, I would get this dish and add more bucatini and it would be perfect.


We were celebrating a birthday. They gave us a complimentary dessert. We chose the special dessert of the day--Sweet Corn & Blueberry Ice Cream Cake. Not a fan. The blueberry cake was bitter.

Overall, it was worth a try but I probably won't be going back.
