A lovely little gem in north London, my go to resto for any nice quick luncheons, the set menu for lunch is truly an offer, don't be afraid to try the meat of the day.

We had a scrumptious dinner tonight. Staff were very welcoming with a big smile as you enter the restaurant. And then we had a delicious and very satisfying food. The quality, the variety, the portions and the taste is just perfect. I had 'Jarret De Porc Chasseur" for the main. it was really tasty and a huge portion. Ideal if you are hungry as I was.. A minor point, my starter prawn and crab meat based starter was a bit too cold. It could have been warmed up or if served at room temperature, it would have been even better. Then I had a freshly made tasty banana crape hand cooked in front you. Overall a great place to dine and relax. Atmosphere was just cosy and relaxing. I would like to return again very soon! Thanks to all the staff for an atentive service.

A beautiful restaurant inside and good food. We were overcharged for an extra bottle of wine and I don’t think the manager was particularly fazed when we mentioned it. Would’ve appreciated a bit more regard in the service, otherwise a good experience

We were a party of 12 with 6 children for a triple birthday (approx). The restaurant gave us the upper floor where we could relax without disturbing others. Service, including cleaning up after an eating incident with the baby, was excellent. Food as usual was very good and we all enjoyed the event.

a friend and I, both French, came to enjoy some nice French food. Unfortunately for us, we were disappointed. The snails were a little rubbery, the meat too dry and the apples in the crepe undercooked. Cannot recommend.

Very disappointing lunch at La Petite Auberge. Being French myself I was really excited about having a nice French meal, but the crepe was so sad looking, barely had anything inside really, maybe a thin slice of ham and couldn’t taste any cheese (probably used mozzarella which had no taste?). My partner’s chicken was okay, but the breast was a bit dry and everything just felt flat and underwhelming. We then waited ages to get the bill as no one was coming our way, or they just never looked at us and walked straight by whenever we tried to signal them.

Came here for a birthday meal with my family. It was lovely and warm after the chill outside, it was cosy and had a good amount of people in, didn’t feel empty even on a Sunday which was nice. We requested a table away from the door which they took notice of and the one they directed us to was perfect. The food was very tasty, really delicious but the only thing is it wasn’t served probably as hot as it could’ve been, but that’s not not a huge issue :) the French onion soup in particular was delicious!

The warm atmosphere catches attention from the street. Unfortunately, a very basic onion soup - nothing to miss, really. The plate with meat pieces is also disappointing, with only a sad few little pickles on the side. I kindly asked for butter with the bread, but I think the waitress forgot because I didn't receive it. The house wine is very nice. Overall, the experience is not worth coming back for.

The food was okay. Not amazing, not bad. The most problematic part was the service. The waiters took 20min+ to take our orders, and whenever we would try to call them over, they would overlook us or even make eye contact and walk away without informing any other staff member. They were incredibly rude. I waited 40min to make and get a simple drink order when the restaurant wasn't even half full. Honestly, it was a bizarre experience.

Really lovely food and service. Toulouse sausages with the Dijon sauce were great. Also had a venison terrine to start which was enough for 3 people. The caramel on the tart tatin was on the cusp of burnt, I didn't mind it but others might have preferred it a little less dark.

The atmosphere is delightful—warm, eclectic, inviting. The food was reasonable—but nothing special if I’m honest. The onion soup was surprisingly quite bland and a bit uninspired. The Galette Vishyssoise however was very good and flavorful. The wait staff seems relatively friendly but is almost inattentive. The wait was pretty long for food and drinks. We weren’t overly rushed so it was okay, but we decided to go elsewhere for additional drinks and dessert.

Best place to get authentic, quality, classic French food in Islington. All reasonably priced and available as a part of a 2-course or 3-course menu, or à la carte.

Went there for a Monday lunch. It is a bit strange that there are two menus to chose from, but the waiters don't really tell you that both are available. Food was nice, not like blowing your mind/out of this world kind of thing but very nice. Staff was attentive although the waiting between starter and main was definitely too long, I think they forgot about us at some point but it was OK, we were not in a rush. Prices were fine and average for the area.

Cute and cozy French bistro let down by its inconsistency. The mains were delicious (lamb shank, rabbit, duck all very tender and gazette hitting the spot too). The starters were distinctly under-flavoured and mediocre (bland frog legs in too much cream, bland snails in too much butter and bland onion soup). And the desserts again were inconsistent - excellent crème brûlée and a tarte tartin that has great apples and icecream and terrible base.

No under 10s after 5pm? Are you even serious? Plenty of other better restaurants on Upper Street that don't apply this discriminatory policy. This is not a comment on the quality of the food. I have eaten well with my family at this restaurant a number of times before, but never before been denied entry because I was with my 6 year old son. It is absolutely a comment on the service and atmosphere as being denied entry on the basis of the age of one of your party doesn't make for great service or atmosphere.

At 6pm I was turned away with my 12 years old daughter and 6 years old son. Apparently, they have a policy of no under-10s after 5pm. So children are not allowed dinners these days?! Well, that's something new. As a local, I have been to this restaurant with my children for dinner, lunch and family celebrations on a number of occasions. Too bad as I now have a policy of no La Petite Auberge ever.

Food was alright. But I had a motorcycle helmet that wouldn't fit on the tiny tables, so I asked a waitress if she could put it somewhere safe, I even EXPLICITLY said to be careful. When I got it back it was covered in scratches, like she had dragged it across the stone wall. That's £45 out of my pocket on top of the cost of the meal. Manager refused to do anything about it, and said there was nothing he could do, eventually gave me £20 and told me to go away. Pretty disrespectful behaviour honestly.

Very disappointing. I've been here thousands of time, introduced families and friends to this place. Everytime, I enjoyed the snails the most. Today we took my mum here again, for a sunday lunch. However, today's snails were horriblely over-cooked, no garlicky butter but just pure oil in my portion, and bone dry. I had to spit most of them out. My husband's one was not the best they can do either, below average. When I told the boss, I felt very uncomfortable to tell him, said sorry myself many times. But the boss made a funny face and told me they they cooked eveything in one go, they should be all the same. Rather than saying sorry, he dismissed whatever I said and turned a cold shoulder to us since that. He didn't come and take the dishes away at least 20-30mins after we finished our main. We were just sitting there and waiting. In the end, the bill was not reflected of what i said. I raised my concern again to the waitrose, she asked me if i told anyone. I said i did, i told the boss. She was a bit taken back and charged me anyway, without any gesture. My husband and I were very disappointed as we loved this place, always come here for as our little special place down the road. We raised our concern in a such polite way, but what we got was cold shoulder and passive aggressiveness. It was extremely uncomfortable after I raised my concern, since that it was just strange atmosphere. We had lovely times here, but I don't think we will come back. It's a shame when a neighbourhood restaurant abandoned the neighbours.

I have been a regular now for a few years. Nothing can top the quality of food and the prices and the whole vibe has a family feel to the team that make you feel welcomed. When I'm not eating mussels the beef bourguignon is my go to, a rich Red wine sauce, just like in France, delicious!

Why stand in the street, in all weathers, and pay 15-20% more for the priviledge? If you're concerned about your environmental impact it makes far more sense to dine in using proper plates and cutlery rather than disposable containers, although if you need a take-away service that's available at Ricardos too.
