Tucked into a small side street near the Bastille, Le Petite Auberg seems little different from…read moremany other small bistro/cafes in the area. But featuring quite descent Asian food at a reasonable price certainly sets it apart.
Run by a very friendly and welcoming husband and wife, the menu is a cross section of standard Southern Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai dishes. When my Hong Kong-born Spouse tired of French cooking, this was real comfort food! The Vietnamese Spring rolls were crisp, hot, and served with ample mint for wrapping and fish sauce for dipping. The pepper prawns were a real hit...good sized and, again, seemed quite fresh. The fried noodle dish was average, but we still didn't leave anything behind!! They also offered a nice selection of Chinese and Thai beer.
In short, they don't pretend to create high cuisine, but what they do, they do very well. Give it a try!!
