American restaurateurs shamelessly slap the term "bistro" on everything from awful chain outlets to places with $55 entrees. The French reserve the term for modest neighborhood spots like Petit Robert Bistro that unpretentiously serve delicious, relatively simple meals at workingman's prices. "Little Bob's" hits the bistro bull's-eye squarely with fine traditional Parisian fare, brusque but professional service, and nary an entrée over $20. C'est le luxe sans le luxe.

Roast turkey
Roast Turkey
For Thankgsgiving, we will be serving the traditionnal turkey dinner with all the trimmings. We'll also be serving our regular menu a la carte.
In France,  Roast Turkey is served for Christmas. Turkey because of it's size is one of the most convivial dish for a large number of people and families in particular. On Thanksgiving, Jacky Robert gets up early and starts roasting all the turkeys for our 3 locations.

Thanksgiving Anecdote

Jacky's first Thanksgiving was with his roommate Pierre Jamet at his aunt Martha's house. It is well known that French people don't like cinnamon so when the pumpkin pie was served and they tasted it, the two French men gave each other a knowing look. Not wanting to be impolite, they finished their portions. Then, Jacky told his aunt, " Pierre wants another piece of Pumpkin pie." Aunt Martha was thrilled for her success and Pierre finished his slice of pie with a smile and to the last crumb..

  • Alsace is the featured region of our next French Table November 2nd, 2009 at the Kenmore location. Jacky Robert worked at Auberge de Riquewhir in Paris and has a great knowlege of that wonderfull cuisine (For the Alsacien menu, click on the picture) For reservations call 617 375 0699

Yan Can Cook

Our Needham location sous-chef was thrilled to serve Jacky Robert's long time friend Martin Yan. Martin commented on the Quenelle "This is a dish Chinese people must love". Manuella, who is just returning from maternity leave, did a magnificent job. Martin said: "If Yan can cook, you can too"....
