Chef: Christine Adrian
La Petite
Maison in Colorado Springs, Colorado
For over 18 years, La Petite
Maison has charmed its dinner guests with some of the best
contemporary cuisine in Colorado Springs. Owner, Jeff Mervis, and
chef, Christine Adrian, oversee every
detail of the food they serve and make it the reason you'll come
back again and again. All of the dishes are prepared to order using
carefully chosen fresh ingredients and herbs from their own gardens.
The Menu features savory flavors
and tastes from a variety of cuisines and cultures, and includes
meat, fresh fish, lamb, pork, duck and pasta dishes prepared in the
traditions of the classics with a contemporary flair.
On any given night, Desserts may
include Cafe Pots de Creme, Chocolate Almond Torte, Creme Caramel,
White Chocolate Mousse with Fresh Berries, Chilled Lemon Souffle
with Raspberry Sauce, Chocolate Amond Parfait with Vanilla Ice Cream
made in-house, and Celebration Cake (hazelnut and almond meringue
with chocolate, vanilla and praline buttercreams).
The Wine list has been voted Best
Restaurant Wine List in "Best of the Springs" by the
Colorado Springs Independent, combining good value with a high
quality selection.
La Petite Maison is located in a
restored Victorian cottage built in 1894 on the historic West Side
of Colorado Springs. The restaurant opened for business in June of
1978, and has dedicated itself to the continuous quality and
attention to detail that make it a truly great restaurant.
While dining in one of the two
dining rooms in this beautifully appointed cottage, you will enjoy
the elegant air of the restaurant, as well as the quiet and friendly
atmosphere of a home that will make you and your dinner companions
feel as though you're the only guests. The servers are attentive and
unobtrusive. The Zagat Survey of restaurants of the Rocky Mountain
Region rated La Petite Maison in the top category of
"extraordinary to perfection". Here's what they had to
say:
Most agree that this long-time
Colorado Springs French restaurant is "totally charming"
and "delightfully romantic"; "don't miss the wine
list" say oenophiles; the service and quality of preparation
are "consistently excellent"; in sum, "a
terrific" experience.
