Fodor's Expert Review La Petite Mort
$$
Old Town
Lunch
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
This exceptionally fine bistro treats its seasonal, regional Scottish flavors with Continental reverence, and the crowds that pack the place to the rafters every night are testament to its success. With its superb flavors, its extensive wine list, and its wallet-friendly prices, we'll forgive them the indulgence of the name: La Petite Mort is French for, let's say... climax. The lively, slightly bohemian atmosphere simply adds to the wonderfully bon viveur vibe. Reservations are essential on weekends.
