Our travels took us to Westcliff on Sea on Monday 19th August and the cafe/bistro
La Petite Petanque, a converted bowling pavilion nestled in a quiet leafy square. First impressions were excellent. The restaurant has been painstakingly and artistically converted to portray a chic 1920's tea room complete with photographs, elegant ladies hats, gloves and handbags - the entire decor is a feast to the eyes of a bygone age.
Our welcome could not have been cheerier and although tempted to sit outside, or in the conservatory, we finally plumped for inside the restaurant in order to admire the decor. The menu was extensive ranging from breakfast, brunch, light bites, afternoon teas to a varied choice for a three course lunch. The men chose the Lamb Crown Cutlets whilst one of the ladies chose the Lemon Fish Tangine & the other a Steak & Stilton Salad. Followed by Malibu & Coconut cheesecake for three and a huge slice of Coffee and Walnut cake for one. The food was freshly prepared, exquisitely presented and tasted absolutely delicious. Extremely good value for money too.
The La Petite Petanque has been a wonderful find for us and we would strongly recommend this restaurant to all. We look forward to returning asap.
We very happily award this venue 6 stars.
Am enjoying reading your reviews. Have been to a few of these restaurants but am looking forward to trying more.
