Petite France

For those in search of an authentic French café, this is the place to go! On my first day in Stockholm, I had planned to eat here - I'd heard extremely good things about it from reviews - but unfortunately the queue was out the door, and the summer weather was too hot for me to stand waiting for long, and so I left.

Finally I've gotten the chance to try this place for myself, and it did not disappoint. The servers are efficient and polite, and the selection of pastries, breakfast and lunch when I was there was top notch. I ordered an omelette with smoked salmon and spinach, which came with a side salad topped off with authentic dijon mustard - a rarity in Sweden. For anyone missing the flavour of France, I would certainly recommend La Petite France. The prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food. The only warning I have is that the seating becomes quite limited at busy hours (breakfast, lunch, fika and dinner), so be sure to plan ahead.

The location is in a generally quiet quarter of Kungsholmen (unfortunately there was construction going on right across when I was there, but other than that, it's not noisy at all). Seating is mostly outdoors but also available indoors, and the outdoor tables are surprisingly well-shielded from rainstorms, as I found out by chance.

Best in Stockholm. French food with typical pastries .
A little too crowded always. Ann

Big breakfast/brunch for very fair price! Good food, ambiance & outdoor sitting.
Be aware that the breakfast is really big so if you are for example two you can share one full breakfast & one sandwich maybe!

Petit France is a genuine and pleasant café that serves breakfast, lunch and a wide variety of French breads and pastries. I have not tried their breakfast package (95 SEK) or lunch yet, but only eaten their pastries and drinking their coffee. However, since I love French pastries, Petit France reaches a high position on my list over cafes in Stockholm.

As soon as you step into this place you feel the French vibes as the personnel speaks with a French accent. The pastries I have tried so far are very flavoursome and the coffee is not to complain about. I can imagine that this place is highly popular amongst residents around the block who craves for a more luxurious weekend breakfast - either on site or for takeaway.

The café's facilities may appear a bit confusing at the initial point though and it could easily get a bit lively and crowded. But during summertime it's preferable to sit outside on their leafy patio, which is a delightful place.

Top notch I must say. Plenty of yummy French desserts to choose from. Seating is a little limited but that's mainly because it's popular and not that it's small.

After PF was sold some month ago, we've been here like 6-7 times. Normally we're locals at this place 1-2 times every week. But the place has lost its touch. The older woman in the register is grumpy and unfriendly most of the time. The "French crew" that you could stop by and have a chat in French are mostly gone. The croque madame which usually is a solid choice was terrible, no flavors and we had to leave half on the plate. At lunch coffee and dessert are usually a treat but the gaufre was half-baked and needed another 2-3 mins. The avocado sandwich with a poached egg was flavorless and very sad. The fridges by the cassiers was previously filled with great looking desserts, typical French which is hard to find in Stockholm. Sometimes you would find some amazing experimental desserts and have a few words with the chef around them. They've raised the prices A LOT 145kr (+20kr up) for the omelette (cheese and ham) is really a steal. The good thing is that they increased the number of seats a little. I've come here for years just to hear the French language, relax with a coffee and a bonbon, but now it's just not the same :( We'll try a few more times, but if the bad experiences keep coming, we'll have to find another place to go.

French style cafe with year around outdoor sitting. Great cafe and plenty of patisserie choices, food and generous servings. French breads and jams to bring home with... love this place.

Avoid - rude service, high prices, food and coffee are completely average. Pastries weren't the freshest, and the baker was quite rude. Not sure why you would go here.

I was a little worried because I told my friends we will have brunch here as it has so many positive reviews. The problem was you cannot book a table and I did not have a back up plan. Anyhow it was as predicted crowded on a cloudy Sunday. I should have known. But you come into this really cute small place with delicious looking pastries and you just got to find a table. Eventually we found a place to sit. yay! Plus: They have an outside sitting area with heaters. As well as a long queue but two cashiers so things go pretty fast I would say. Ääänd thö fränch äccänt yü hier öll thö time. haha Sorry I couldn't help myself. I love the french accent. We had a very good time. And it's quite affordable: breakfast package (95kr) and brunch (155kr).

Would like to come here again in the summer.

What a wonderful place to settle for brunch!

I first just have to say that I had the best hot chocolate that I had ever yet had in the world here. I must learn the secret, but it is a cup of warm, rich, thick chocolate magic that you pair with the cooled complementary cream. I don't think I was even able to concentrate on the rest of food after, it was so delicious.

But anyways, my next favorite thing was the chicken liver terrine. Paired with the served bread, I would have been very happy with just this order :)

The salad and croque monsieur were great too, some heavy for my taste but made my taste buds very happy.
