They are well recognized for their mouthwatering homemade Belgian waffles and have been celebrated as having the “Best Hot Chocolate.” The Village Voice voted them the “Best Burger” and their brunch fare is one of the “Best 50 Places to have Brunch in New York City.” One of their popular items is the Moules-Frites (mussels and fries). The Moules-Frites is a Belgian specialty and Petite Abeille serves up some of the best Moules-Frites in town, according to the New York Post.

The name Petite Abeille (pronounced {puh-teet a-bay} means, “Little Bee,” and is also the title of a children’s book, popular in the 1970’s in Belgium.

The décor also conveys the warmth of a full-service, casual dining experience. From the murals on the walls to the savory aromas as you walk through their doors-- Petite Abeille offers an experience and menu that is truly a freshness you can see and taste. Owners of Petite Abeille say their commitment is for each guest to enjoy his or her entire experience – the atmosphere, the value and of course, the great food.

Company founder, Yves Jadot, had tested his entrepreneurial success on a restaurant concept of a different color when he first opened the doors of Petite Abeille Chelsea in March of 1996. Yves’ vision was to provide New Yorkers with the fine quality of traditional Belgian food at an affordable price, served up in a warm and friendly atmosphere. This was his chance to demonstrate his uncompromising passion for quality, food and people.

The idea worked well as Yves pioneered Belgian cuisine in the Meatpacking district of New York City. Since then, Yves and his brothers, David and Christophe, have expanded Petite Abeille. There are now 3 additional locations in Greenwich Village, Tribeca and Peter Cooper Village.
