This review is for dinner.\n\nLa Petite France is as close to an authentic French cafe as you are likely to find in the Southwest. The cuisine consists primarily of a French version of pizza, with creme fraiche substituted for pizza sauce, crepes, and a small number of traditional French entrees such as Coq Au Van -- these vary from day to day.\n\nThe chef is clearly more than competent and most of the menu is delicious. There are occasional misses. For example, the snapper was very underseasoned and a bit rubbery (could have been too old). But a crostini-like appetizer and a dessert crepe were as good as it gets.\n\nLa Petite France is the kind of 4 star place that you go back to frequently despite the occasional only-average dishes, not because it's cheap, which it isn't, but because the food is different without being \"experimental\". \n\nHints:\n1. They have a $29.95 \"dinner\" consisting of your choice of appetizer, entree, and dessert which is a very large discount.\n2. If the weather is decent, try to get outdoor seating. The patio does not face a road or shopping center and is quite pleasant.
