LE PETIT DÉJEUNER DID NOT COME TO PLAY! Finally made it to the newer location of Le Petit Déjeuner, and it was about time! This Black-owned, French-Canadian-inspired brunch spot brings a whole different flavor to Detroit's food scene, and I'm here for it! LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ORDER!

Le Petit Dejeuner - Scrambled eggs, potatoes with peppers, sausage - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

My Father and I visited this place some time ago! I wasn't aware it had been relocated -- but now it's right on Woodward where this ramen place used to be. You can tell that the staff were just getting their bearings, as the wait was long -- however the Shrimp and Grits were one of the best variations I'd had. I would need to go a few more times for a more insightful review, but the menu was creative. Based on classic sitcoms with shareable plates -- The one thing I would mention .. is the secret menu-like area that was barely visible for my dad. If I hadn't been squinting to see it, I likely wouldn't have brought it up. It was also generally confusing. All in all, with good company and a relaxed atmosphere, you're likely to have a great dish. We also got a lot of attention from staff towards the end of our meal. read more

Cute family owned place on Woodward. The food was great and filling. Everything is served family style. You must try to sweet corn pancakes and wings if anything. read more

While visiting in Detroit we stopped in for the afternoon brunch. A Black Owned Family restaurant that serves a Family Style Soul Food Brunch. Everything about my experience from the food, and the service was top notch. Our server was attentive and made sure we were happy with our food and service. Everything we ordered came out cooked with deliciousness and cooked with love. Nice hospitality and good music. The vibes felt like we were at a family member's house. Definitely a place to come and check out. read more

Ok. It was Mother's, but we arrived before 10am. There were only 2 tables ahead of us, which were both finishing their meals. So, not expecting a long wait, since we were the only one's placing an order at that time. First clue - had to ask the waitress to wipe off the table. Well, at 11:30am, our food had not arrived yet. Getting busy now. Our order - or at least most of it - finally arrived at 11:40am. Waitress Never came back for drink refills during this time or apologize for the wait. Ordered scrambled eggs with cheese - the only item that was truly steaming hot. Cat fish was ok - just luke warm. Oh yeah- ordered the Salmon croquettes as an appetizer. Never arrived. Was told later they didn't have any. Potatoes with peppers and onions were tasty, not cooked too hard. Shrimp & grits were good. Had to remind the waitress that we had ordered them though. The french toast croissant was probably good, if we had an opportunity to eat it while it was hot. The real insult was that the syrup arrived with a layer of water on the top!!!! Never have seen watered down pancake syrup in my life!!!!! Took 15 minutes to get it replaced. Of course by then the French Toast was cold. Ambiance - why on earth do they need a live DJ playing the music way too load. Maybe it is to distract you from the excruciating long wait :-( Without the DJ, they could another table for 4. Have been coming here for years at their different locations. They have always struggled with timely service. Even from scratch, there is no reason orders any order should take nearly 2 hours. Overall, the food is very good. The owner has ALWAYS struggled with getting orders out timely. If anything it has gotten worse. Would STRONGLY recommend: - getting rid of the DJ - adds nothing to your bottom line and uses space that could generate revenue with a table for 4. - get a qualified restaurant busines consultant to assist with timely processing of orders and efficiently turning over tables. - faster service and bussing of tables could easily result in doubling revenue, just from the turnover - train staff - tables should be cleaned before seating customers, should check in every 15 minutes on requests or other needs. There is a 20% gratuity automatically added ti the bill - yet the waitress had the unmitigated gall to suggest a "cash tip". - STOP cutting corners by taking shortcuts like watering down the syrup. Makes one wonder what else you are doing that diminishes the quality of the food. We have patronized many time over the years and brought friends. Sad to say, can't imagine returning. Wishing you well. read more

The food is way too oily!! The chicken was double dip and still cold. The buttermilk pancakes was nasty and taste like they were cooked in bacon grease! The server was very nice. The owner never came out to say anything! I sent back the chicken wings and not so fresh fruit! We still paid the bill with no discount! Not a good Look!! We not be back read more

Visited on a Sunday around 10. Space is still a little awkward based on what Rock City did, but everyone was very nice and things came out relatively quickly. There was a TV playing a random NFL game which felt a bit odd, but that is fall in Detroit:). Split an omelette and French toast and both were solid. read more

Had a 1pm reservation got the there at 12:45. Didnt get to the host until 1:15 because she was taking to go orders. once I made it to the host she told me a 1.5hr wait even though I had a 1pm reservation. I feel that's it's unfair to take reservations that can not be accommodated. My family and I left and I hope that in the future you guys improve read more

5 stars for the food and for our server - I think her name was Brittany. She was fabulous. The food was fabulous. The live music was fabulous. The waiting for our food was not so fabulous. Definitely can't be on a schedule if you go here. But if you like a leisurely breakfast and you don't mind waiting quite a while for your food, this place is top notch! We had a few things for the table that were shared: sweet potatoes were delicious! My father swears he doesn't like sweet potatoes and he kept eating these saying, "wow, these are so good!" The build your own crepes with sun dried chicken sausage, spinach, tomatoes and feta cheese were to die for! I almost ordered more to take home! The strawberry crepes were delightful. The sun dried chicken sausage is full of flavor. You can't go wrong with any of those dishes! There was a live band playing which helped with the passing of time while we waited for the food. They were very good and the volume was just right. The staff at the restaurant took great care clearing and cleaning tables, polishing silverware, and making sure everything was properly presentable. read more

I have only positive things to say about this spot! The service was excellent and the food was exceptional! We ordered the two specials, Chicken and Waffles and Shrimp and Grits. They were served "family style" which enabled us share the dishes. Our coffee cups were kept full ( without having to ask!). The portions were plentiful which allowed us each to bring home a doggy bag in order to enjoy our leftovers the next day. We look forward to a return trip in the near future! read more

Excellent food and customer service! The owner came out to meet customers, and there was a DJ playing wonderful jazz and R&B. Loved the experience. read more

From the lack of parking to the quality of service, I was not impressed. Openned late, we were given a long table upstairs over looking the dinning area below. Drink choices are juice, tea, or coffee. No soft drinks so water was my only choice. Since the meal is served family style, you will share with all at your table. Since we were a large group, we got 7 choices. The food came out slowly, very slowly. Trendiness and at times to me weirdness seems to be the theme. The banana Foster french toast was the best of the bunch. Bacon didn't taste that maple and had too much fat. No butter offered for the pancakes. We had to ask for more water. Rarely checked on except when another plate of food was brought out. If we had limited time, it would have been a problem since it was a long meal. I have no clue why this rank as a place to try since I can easily come up with a long list of better places for brunch. read more

I found this place online because a food reviewer said it was very good. I thought I would try it when I came to town. It was very very good! I had the croissant French toast, catfish, the fruit bowl and potatoes. All of the food was very good and well seasoned! I have to mention, they actually washed and cleaned the fruit. A lot of places don't do this so I was impressed and pleased lol. That was a plus for me! The service was also good. Everyone was very nice and kind. Please note, they are at a new location and it's still a work in progress but the food is still good! So if you are looking for ambiance, you won't find it because they are rehabbing inside. Just get your food and take it home if needed. Truly, the food and service was phenomenal! read more

Don't reserve a table, not only because you'll regret going here but also because you do not need one. We went on a Saturday morning around brunch, and thought it was closed because chairs were stacked on the tables. It was open. When we walked in someone walked in after us and told us how incredible the food was and how he planned to take a friend who was coming into town there and wanted to make a reservation, in person, he didn't stay to eat. The food was unremarkable, family style, pretty expensive for what you get, esp the ambiance and service not being great. I ended up getting eggs over easy, bacon, sweet potatoes, and toast. The toast was good, the sweet potatoes were candied, I didn't like them but my husband did so the verdict is out on whether I just found them disturbing or if they actually were good. Either way they are heavily candied, very sweet. The bacon was normal, and the eggs were not seasoned. My husband tried to order the chicken and waffles but after ordering he was told they ran out of wings, weird. Anyway, I wasn't a fan and wouldn't go back. read more

This restaurant serves family style brunch, a different concept than most restaurants. It's It's great concept, but we didn't try it and instead chose the Living Single option because you're only allowed to choose one omelet with the option that was for 2 people (I can't remember the name of it). Omelette - light and fluffy, but prepared in a little too much butter. You can choose up to 4 items - nice choice of veggies, meat, and cheese Bacon - crispy, just like it should be. There's nit much worse than "soft and limp" bacon Potatoes - if you're a fan of dill, you'll like them. If you're like me and don't like dill, I wouldn't recommend them. They're crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I just didn't care for the dill Coffee - not the best. There are other items to choose from as well, that's just what I had. Service - good, but slow. It took about 40 min for our food to come out. Our server did check on us once while we were waiting and then again after the food came out to make sure everything was satisfactory, which it was. Atmosphere - nice. There's live music....kinda jazzy, a little bluesy. It's a small restaurant, but the tables aren't crowded together so you have plenty of room and don't feel like you're sitting on top of each other. read more

We enjoyed ourselves immensely! Live jazz music during Belfast is my new favorite! The service was okay, not as attentive as it would have liked. The food was amazing! Chicken wings were , crunchy, seasoned perfect and fried perfect. Waffles were really good, great texture, sweet potato pancakes were to die for! Full of flavor Bur could have been a bit fluffier. The chicken sausage was okay. Scrambled eggs and cheese were good, grits were okay...needed to be creamier. The fruit was tasty; juices and sweet! Wonderful experience and can't wait to visit again. read more

Well seasoned food worth the wait! If you have time and are patient for the food you won't regret coming here. I had an omelet and the black bean sausage and it had really good flavor and came out HOT. It is in the middle of renovations in the Detroit Rock Eatery but they said they will be done around May. I'm coming back! read more

I like this place. I had chicken and waffles which was really good! My chicken was nice and crispy with great flavors. I enjoyed the waffles as well. Everyone at my time enjoyed their food as well.

First thing first, food is super good. Fried chicken was excellent and those breakfast potatoes were amazing. Covid precautions were taken seriously and that is a major plus. Only reason why I give 4 instead of 5 is because the restaurant was cluttered with other things that I felt should have been hidden from customers view. Other than that, staff was great and food was too. They have their food in a style were you share it with people so please be aware of that. read more

Took a friend who was visiting from North Carolina and it did not disappoint! Everything was super tasty (and we tried a lot of dishes)-do not let the plastic plates deter you!

We waited 2 hours for food. We were here for my cousin's birthday with a reservation period they could not accommodate our reservation But seated us and had us wait for two hours while they figured it out and cooked the food. While the food was delicious the wait time was inconceivable; we were not happy and we will not be back again. We watched tables of people come in after us and not only get their food before us but also leave. What should have been and easy carefree birthday celebration turned into a quiet fight to not whoop everybody's ass in there. They seated us upstairs in some make shift balcony with the hardest seats I've ever had to sit on; the table was better suited for a picnic outside at Belle Isle than an indoor restaurant. People on the first floor had glassware and utensils we had plastic cups and drive thru coney island utensils. The drinks were barely alcoholic. Kool-aid has a better taste than what we had. The mimosas and the rum punch were watered down trash. I have yet gone to a Michigan establishment that required a deposit that was worth it; this place is no exception. We placed our order and conditional things were brought instead of what we ordered. We all heard what the available options were and picked what we wanted from that, yet other things made their way to the table because they were out. We didn't even get the opportunity to select what we wanted, we were just given something. This place is not suited for big parties. There were 11 of us. read more

Wow! This place is amazing. Parking is horrible due to construction issues on Jefferson. How the food here is worth the hunt for the parking space lol. The customer service was impeccable. From Brittney and Nish ( hopefully I spelled their names correctly) to the owner the entire experience was delightful. My wife and came across this restaurant on TikTok. What a wonderful discovery. The food here is awesome. The family style dining is suitable for for any group size. We will definitely be back. read more

I've visited twice on a Saturday about an hour before closing and each time there was no wait and everything we wanted on the menu was available. The place is very unassuming, but please don't let that discourage you. The food was delish and the staff is pleasant. They do give you plastic ware and plates which was a bit disappointing, but did I mention the food was GOOD! And the prices are more then reasonable. This restaurant is family style. so you and your party just agree on the items you want. There or no separate orders/checks. We've had the bacon, sausage, chicken wings, shrimp and grits, potatoes, eggs, pancakes, french toast and all were very good. I would say the drink specials could use more alcohol...but other then that....great value and taste for your money. read more

Limited parking, very slow service, average shared plates. Omelette was fine, thinly sliced potatoes were soggy, grits were drowning in butter, wings had flavor but barely any meat. read more

You can order a family style brunch. The food is good but the ambience is something left to be desired! The tables are too close to each other and the service is subpar ( with tip expected)! I have tried this restaurant on three different occasions and the results have been the same, decent food and crappy service! Don't waste your time or money! read more

I had an amazing brunch today at La Petit Dejeuner on East Jefferson in Detroit. The shrimp and grits, and the chicken and waffles with caramelized bananas were outstanding. Go early. There is usually a line but worth the wait. We had live jazz this morning, too. Meals are served family style. Just tell the server what you want and she will explain how it will be served. Also enjoyed a nice pitcher of mimosas, which at first looked to have too much orange juice, but the test was in the taste and that did not disappoint. Will definitely hit this spot again for breakfast. read more

By far my favorite Brunch in Detroit so far! Le Petit is nothing flashy on the outside (in fact we drove by and had to double back to find it!!) but I promise you, this is some good, authentic, soul food feeling brunch! The food is served family style which makes it a go to spot if you have a group and want a taste of everything. The menu features dining options based on the number of items ordered. My boyfriend and I split three menu items and left feeling more than satisfied! Highly recommend the chicken and waffles (though it does count as two items!) Staff was kind and everything tasted freshly made. As a temporary New Yorker, this felt very budget friendly (though my wallet might be feeling a little numb right now) Can't wait to go back soon! read more

Many have said it and I didn't listen. Had heard some good things about this place, got there and they sat us immediately which was great, they took our order very quickly as well to our surprise. This was at 10am, the food finally came out at 11:05 (not even our orange juice came out before then), most tables had no food the whole time we were there just people waiting. Once the food got to the table we were hoping it was going to be amazing and make up for the wait but not only did they make mistakes in the order but the food was completely sub par, the presentation bad, there were smears of potentially ricotta on the plate that looked bad and the French toast was not well done and dry in the middle (see pictures). We also never got the orange juice and when we asked about it they said not to worry they would just take it out from the bill (they didn't have it). While we were there we saw 2 tables leave because they didn't want to wait. read more

Very difficult to find somewhere to park, place is not up to date , most of the staff are rude an wont say anything to u for at least 5-10 mins. When Seated we had to literally yell an ask for a menu. Came in on a SUNDAY and they didnt have any meat besides chicken wings & bacon literally no other meats they should not have opened today with this much missing from the menu. No catfish , no ham, no salmon croquettes, no sausage, no tomatoes, no apple juice, like at this point why even open the restaurant today? Everything we wanted they did not have which is CRAZY considering this is a brunch restaurant with about only half of there menu actually in stock. read more

Ordered food from Uber eats. Uber Eats said it would be ready at 1:10 for pick up. Stood in the restaurant for 45 minutes: I am deeply saddened to write this review but it's my truth and what happened. The health department missed a stop this year. It's truly disgusting in there. Behind the counter a lady was doing billing or rather constantly and repeatedly counting receipts. Just over and over again. She was standing...in this wooden cut out area...the floor... caked on dirt, mud, electrical cords, cobwebs, I was sickened. I thought I was going to be in and out but here's what happened... and no, I do not recommend. When I got there three other ppl were waiting for their food, a young woman, and a couple; after 15 minutes they received their food. I stood there patiently and super excited for these pancakes they have on their menu, totally no issues waiting, completely cool. Guys, 15 minutes turned into 20, 20 to a half hour, guys...I waited for 40 minutes, when my order was marked ready on Uber eats and it was placed almost 40 minutes before hand..... I was told mine was being made. Or next up. Then finally- at the 40 minute mark (but really almost 2 hours due to the order, confirm time and pick up time on Uber eats) I was told because of a large table upstairs, they got behind and couldn't make my food- but I watched and no one bought out food to that table upstairs while I was there as they were eating already. Updates turned into excuses and I stood there just waiting, I just wanted Bunch and to support a local restaurant that hasn't been open for super long. I am so sadden by my experience. Honestly I felt discriminated against. Maybe they didn't want to serve me? I placed my order, others got their food, and I waited patiently, wasn't offered coffee, or to sit, every 20 minutes a woman would check in only to provide an update as mentioned, "yours up next"and then finally to be told, we just got slammed and couldn't make your food. I was being lied too. Why keep me there for almost an hour? And you guys, I wasn't waiting in my car or by the front door, I was standing literally in the middle of the restaurant. At the 45 minute mark, inside the store, I asked if the order could be canceled, of course it was marked as delivered- I had to dispute that through Uber eats. Do not recommend. The place needs a deep clean. Better management. There is one waitress doing everything, running around, picking up one task like wiping off plates-partly finishing it, picking up another task, and then returning back to the plates, in between grabbing drinks and wiping down tables. I watched for almost an hour. I only saw one waitress working, doing the best she could, the repetitive receipt counter, and another young lady I sporadically saw, filling up water glasses. Boxes were thrown in the back with a large amount of chairs, like someone just didn't care and threw everything back there. Really it looks like no one cares in here at all. Light bulbs are burnt out, filthy floors, cobwebs hanging from the ceiling fans, Piles of chairs, boxes of condiments, its really unfortunate I am observant by nature, had an hour to look around, watch what was happening, and had a poor experience. The staff blamed my order not being ready because of how busy they were but I only saw two orders going out besides the take out in front me and three tables were waiting, but I watched two tables walk in, and watched how it took 10 minutes for one table to be greeted and the other even longer to receive drinks. It's either truly no one cares and super poor management or discriminated against. Either way, I won't be going back honestly shocked. why accept the Uber eats order? Why say mine was next then after 40 minutes tell me it was just being made? Why did two other take out orders, get their food right away and I waited? Why is no one cleaning? Why are light bulbs out? Why is floor so disgusting? I don't know the answers to any of these questions, I do know the menu looks yummy but I will never go back and will never ever recommend this place. Cheers. read more
