Le Petit Café is Tops, Again

Le Petit Café, at 225 Montowese Street in Branford, just off of the town green, has compiled an impressive list of awards since head chef and owner Roy Ip opened it in 1997. And now he can add another to that list. Yankee Magazine’s 2017 Editor’s Choice Awards, Best of Connecticut says it’s tops when it comes to Fine Dining. “His intimate French-inspired bistro in Branford has earned praise from the likes of The New York Times and is a perennial high scorer in the Zagat restaurant guide. You’ll need to plan ahead to enjoy Ip’s much-touted fare, as seating for the four-course prix fixe dinner is by reservation only. But whether you’re tucking into savory duck cassoulet, hearty steak au poivre, or any of the other options on the menu du jour, every bite will tell you it’s worth it,” the magazine says in its May/June issue. Congrats!
