Petit Concept
ping
Many restaurants nowadays refer to themselves as bistros, despite the fact that their food, ambiance and prices are at odds with the true definition of the term.  In France, a bistro is where blue collar workers go to eat homestyle fare at very modest prices; it is often served on bare wood or with draught beer and vin ordinaire.
Daily blackboard specials are prepared by Chef Jacky Robert, whose career and reputation are well-known to both Boston and west coast diners. Manager Loic Le Garrec is a native of Brittany and a veteran of Boston and New York's top dining rooms.
In true bistro tradition, entree prices are under $12 at lunch and under $20 at dinner.

Our Lobster Bisque is our most popular soup... after the onion soup!  We make it from fresh Maine lobsters.  Lobster are less expensive these days because of their abundance.  Nobody knows why lobsters are reproducing this much...

We want to remind you about our French Table.  Every first Monday of each month at 6:00 PM, chef Jacky is cooking a three course dinner for French speaking people.  A different region of France is featured each time.  This is a good way to practice your French or to talk about your upcoming vacation in Paris.  The cost is $50 per person ($5.00 given to the French Library).  It includes Tax, Tip and one glass of wine.
February 2nd will feature La Bretagne

Vin chaud at PRB Columbus
Vin chaud (Mulled Wine) is a favorite holiday drink in the Christmas markets and snowy villages of France and Germany, where it's known as Gluehwein.  Many recipes exist, some adding brandy or porto to the final product, some use lemon juice instead of orange juice, and some suggest more sugar than others for a sweeter drink.  Columbus has its own version.  Come and try!
