Petunia's

Come to Petunia’s famished and leaved stuffed. This restaurant has a limited menu, basically crepes, but these are the largest crepes I have ever experienced. I made the mistake of ordering a side of fries to go with it. Big mistake! One crepe was enough to serve two people easily. I would have loved to have tried the dessert crepe, but there was no room left. As of our visit in July, it appeared that they are only open until 6 in the evening. Check the times in case there was a change.

This place is so good that we went twice during our trip. We normally make it rule not to eat at the same place twice during a trip so that we can try lots of different places, but we couldn’t help ourselves. Unfortunately, they don’t take reservations. There was a line both times that we went, but I would wait no matter how long it was. The restaurant is actually a converted 1830s townhouse, and the dining room is in what used to be a double parlor.

If you only get one thing, make sure it is the Pain Perdu or "Lost Bread." It is their version of French toast, but it is unlike any other French toast that you have ever had. It is so good that you don’t need syrup! Just thinking about it makes me drool. Their crepes are overstuffed and big enough for two. Several people in line told us that everything here is good, but I’m not sure if we will ever get past the Lost Bread.

We had gotten a recommendation for this restaurant; however, it met with mixed reviews in our group. It is supposed to be known for its crepes, but those of us who ordered the crepes were not that thrilled with them. The gumbo was very good though.

I followed advice in this forum for a great breakfast location. My wife doesn't like to walk, but after having breakfast here the first morning, she insisted on returning again.

The Lost Bread (French toast) and eggs Benedict are outstanding. You have to wait in line out to the sidewalk, but it's worth the wait.

Excellent food and service was superb! Definitely try the desserts! There was five of us dining on a Friday evening, and we walked right in. Listen to the waiters' suggestions, they won't steer you wrong!
