Petit Coquin

August 25–We tried Petit Coquin, a French restaurant in Southtown that features a prix fixe menu, on a Thursday night after work. At first glance the restaurant appears minimalist, if not underwhelming—that is until looking at the extensive wine menu and tasting the food. I love French food and it was good, salty, and authentic. We each got the different options on the prix fixe menu ($65/person) and shared them. The setting is intimate, with only a handful of tables, and the service both friendly and attentive. Reservations are recommended, if not required, and often fill up quickly weeks in advance on Tock, for good cause.

The food was amazing, service was very kind and attentive, and the atmosphere is very nice as well! My boyfriend and I got two different items so we could try each other's food. They had the pork shoulder and chicken. It's a 4 course based menu and everything was very flavorful and delicious! Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable if we had any questions. Would definitely go again!

Very special meal. Everything was delicious and beautifully prepared. The vegetables were flavorful and stood out even against wonderful proteins. Unique for a restaurant experience because it offers few choices in a simple menu with complex flavors. You show up and trust what Chef Max has prepared for the night. The wine list was well paired with his menu and there was a depth of options in a variety of pricepoints. Great wine, great food ,simple uncomplicated environment . The night we were there Chef Max and Sommelier Carenn did all parts of service . It is very intimate and feels more like a French neighborhood spot than a restaurant in San Antonio. We were a party of 6 had the table for the night a nice change from many recent experiences of being advised I had 90min for my party etc

Wonderful meal of lentils and sausage. Steak with roasted eggplant and potatoes with sauce bernaise. Services was friendly, efficient and prompt. Prix fixe meal was reasonably priced. Recommend the addition of the house pâté to begin. Martini & Negroni cocktails were excellent. Wine list is one of the most comprehensive and unique in San Antonio. Enthusiastically recommended for a superb meal!

Menu changes every week or two from the sound of things so don’t necessarily expect to get whatever might be in the menu section on Google, but you can definitely expect something delicious! The sauces on the dishes I had were fantastic, not to mention they’ve a good wine selection as well. The team here have got something special going on. Highly recommend.
