Did you know
Petitou opened in October 2003 in what was once a butcher's shop off Bellenden Road, and its current owners, who both worked in theatre, took it over in 2018 as the third owners.
Local tip
It's a genuinely local, low-key spot, so go for a weekday breakfast or lunch rather than expecting a full sit-down dinner menu, and check its Instagram for the occasional evening art private views it hosts.
