French Onion Soup

Arguably the best French onion soup in the city, this appetizer is an absolute must. The hearty stock with onions and soaked bread is served gratinéed with generous portion of gooey, melted cheese covering the top. The soup is served with a side of toasted bread.

Rabbit Normandy

Tender pieces of rabbit thigh and breast is sauteed in buttery, rich brown sauce with variety of vegetables like carrots, onions, and mushroom. In the center is puree of carrot to complement the dish.

Caramelized French Toast

No matter how full, you must order the French toast from Le P'tit Laurent. Two pieces of toast that are reminiscent of bread pudding are sugar-coated and caramelized. The dessert is drizzled in caramel sauce and served with a scoop of rich caramel ice cream.

Start your meal with this fantastic seafood salad made of lump dungeness crab. The juicy, sweet crab meat is mixed in with espelette pepper and chunks of sweet mangos in basil aioli, and topped with frisee.

Braised Seafood + Shellfish Stew “Bizkaiko”

One of the fan favorites is the seafood stew made of plump, juicy shrimp, mussels, clams, calamari, scallop, and fish all braised in hearty tomato-pepper sauce. You'll want extra bread to dip into this delicious broth.

Rack of Lamb

Another standout dish is the rack of lamb served with juicy merguez sausages, braised fennel, roasted bread, pecan, cumin, and date relish. The lamb is cooked perfectly to the temperature of your liking. Savor each and every bite until you realize you are licking on an empty plate.
