Nestled in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, Petite Maison is a cozy French bistro that was named one of the “Best New Restaurants” by Phoenix Magazine in ’10. Petite Maison sources local foods whenever possible and is a strong supporter of the local community.

Guests can dine in our cozy dining room and bar surrounded by twinkling chandeliers and wood paneled walls, or outside on our lush garden patio. With just 33 seats inside, and 40 outside, we are indeed "petite" - and recommend reservations. (from http://www.petitemaisonaz.com)

Featuring authentic cooking from mothers around the world, signature dishes include pot roast, chicken and dumplings, meat loaf and crab cakes, as well as featured dishes from a different mother each month.

Everything is made from scratch using the best possible ingredients - great salads, soups, homemade biscuits and desserts, too. In addition to the sunny dining room, the separate cozy bar with chandeliers and gilded mirrors is perfect for pre- or post-theater cocktails or late-night dining.

Barbecue runs through the heart of Danny Edwards. His father opened the family’s first barbecue joint, Jake’s Barbecue, during the first depression and moved it to Kansas city in 1938 where he ran it until 1981. During that time, Lil’ Jake (a nickname Danny picked up while working as a youngster at his father’s restaurant), first gained his appreciation for slow cooked meats and friendly conversation.
