We were in Telluride for a 5 day midweek visit and were fortunate to grab a reservation at Petit Maison. It’s just a short walk from the gondola and in a lovely, small building. The food was delightful – we had oysters, cassoulet, sea bass, and our vegan friend loved the mushroom pappardelle. All were excellent! We also shared profiteroles and the chocolate mousse which were both delicious!
The staff and service were fantastic. Petit Maison is truly an outstanding dining experience!

Petite Maison has a super cute vibe, and our waiter was adorable with such a genuinely kind personality. The happy hour drink specials are great, with a nice wine selection and lovely cocktails.
We tried the steak frites during happy hour, which were very good. The escargot were okay — you will have to work a little and not as much butter or accoutrement as other French spots. The coq au vin was out of this world. Super tender, with a nice balance of root vegetables an yummy sauce.

This French inspired bistrot is absolutely top. I have never tasted a juicier and more deliciously savory steak with frites! Tender to the point that there was no need for a knife. The touch of butter on top…just perfection! The whole meal was a balanced symphony of delicate flavors! We were perfectly happy at the bar, as this restaurant is not easy to book. Elegant design for this small venue. Highly recommended. We will be back!

I loved this place when it was Little House, and I still love it as Petit Maison. The ambiance, the food, the service – everything is top notch. Come get bar seats if you can, because the bar steak special is not to be missed. And you can watch Adam whip up magical cocktails in front of you! Also don’t skip out on the French onion soup. It’s the absolute best I’ve ever had. Thanks Trevor and team for an exquisite dining experience every time!

We had such a great diner experience! The place is small and intimate with a real sense of family. We were so welcomed and the service was personable and not forced. Our server, Steve, was the best! The food was also amazing – especially the pork chop and the short ribs. We will definitely be back!!

Really good food and such a cute spot! Small, cozy. ~10 tables, ~10 seats at the bar but the food was really good. The pappardelle was incredibly soft and the beef bourguinon was sooo tasty and deep and rich. Also their boulevardier had a cocoa liqueur in it that was really rich and different
Would recommend this place – either a res or eating at the bar.

Had my husband cancel our anniversary dinner reservation bc I got my hair done and it looks absolutely whack – we still ordered takeout from PM and it was absolutely incredible. Thank you to the staff for still making wonderful food and accommodating. Will totally be back when you open again next season.

French cuisine with the best twist. Friendly staff, impeccable food and a very strong cocktail menu. Diamond Dave never disappoints behind the bar. We had the Summer Holiday and their take on a margarita – 10/10 recommend. For dessert, we had a raspberry tart with lemon pie ice cream. I wish they sold the ice cream by the pint. It was THAT. GOOD. Make the reservation- you won’t regret it.

My husband I dined here on a cold Friday night in December and it was magical!
The atmosphere was cozy and romantic. If we dined here again, we would also consider sitting at the bar if we were looking for a more social experience.
Everyone working was welcoming, friendly & professional. Our service was fantastic.
They had many gluten-free options & some vegetarian options as well.
Their wine list was excellent, notably their cab franc by the glass. Their cocktail list was also creative and had many options that caught my eye.
We shared the kale caesar to start. It was crisp, well-dressed and fresh.
We both had the steak au poivre and OMG, just yes.
It was cooked to perfection, had a great crust, the peppercorn sauce was served on the side (brilliant) was a great compliment. It melted it our mouths. the side of pomme pave was decadent, but not overpowering.
Their dessert menu looked enticing, but we decided to end with decaf coffee.
If we come back to Telluride, this will be a must for us.
