Le Petite Marche

Saturday morning was our first time visiting this restaurant. Wonderful staff, delicious food and a great experience were the secret ingredients to our memorable breakfast in Kirkwood. The tacos as an app and an array of key brunch staples filled the table and complimented the cozy atmosphere and enjoyable conversation. If I had any issues it would be the parking. Very limited, even at 10 a.m. However the managers and team are determined to make the experience the absolute best from the time you walk through the door. A few expanded brunch-inspired drinks would be a plus but definitely not needed.

We visited Le Petit Marche after completing a nearby 5K. Just looking for a nice spot to get a bit to eat. We arrived 5 minutes before opening and they already had a line forming. We knew we were in for a treat! We didn't have a reservation, but they were able to seat us in the back. The music was entirely too loud, but they adjusted it to something more suitable when we asked about it. The menu was easily "scannable" with a QR code on the table. Service was great. They checked in just the right amount of times. I ordered the shrimp and grits and it was just perfect. The grits were creamy with the right amount of cheese. I was able to replace the bacon with chicken sausage. The shrimp could have been cooked about 30 seconds less, but it didn't ruin the dish. Oh... forgot to mention the beignets!bigness! They were buttery, flakey and delicious. While they didn't offer any flavored coffee, they did have a super bold Panamanian coffee (I believe that's where it was from). It was delicious, but very strong.
