The former home of Le Oui Oui Cafe is now another French cuisine based bistro called Le Petit Triangle. The space is tiny and cozy, and only has about ten tables that are right next to the open kitchen complete with a crepe cook top. The menu includes salads, sandwiches and an extensive crepe menu, both sweet and savory. I have been looking forward to trying the quaint bistro for some time and finally got a chance to have lunch the other day.
We started with the French press for two. A delightful French Roast coffee steeped and pressed. Next, I ordered the Croque Madame Sandwich.
The Croque Madame is a grilled ham and Gruyere cheese sandwich, topped with a fried egg and Béchamel sauce, and served with roasted potatoes on the side. Le Petit Triangle is a French inspired cafe, but the portions are definitely Americanized. 
I remember ordering a Croque Madame in France along my travels, and the sandwich was no where near the size it was at Le Petit. Don't get me wrong, it was tasty and I did nearly finish the whole thing, but it certainly was a hefty lunch. My companion ordered the Chicken and Mushroom Crepe with Gruyere cheese. The chicken was tender and the crepe was perfectly cooked. We passed on dessert because we were so full at that point.The space is so cozy and intimate that I will surely return if I am in the neighborhood and ready for a pleasing crepe.

Le Yum!! I have been catching up on PTL and it is making my tummy GROOOWWWLLL!! And the recipes on world eatz may just have inspired me to do some baking during my little 2 week "vacation". Keep on sharing!!
Le Petit Triangle is such a cute spot that doesn't get much recognition or publicity. Great for an afternoon espresso and baguette. They host wine dinners on Mondays with delicious food.
Le Petit Triangle IS such a cute place, I don't know why it took me so long to finally pay them a visit. I have heard of their wine tastings and look forward to attending one some time soon. Thanks.
