Petit Paree Restaurant & Lounge

A little bit of Parisian charm can be found right in the heart of Festus, Mo. Offering casually elegant dining for more than 50 years, Petit Paree stands out as the “par excellence” among the St. Louis region’s best restaurants.

"It was worth the wait to dine at Andy and Maybell Backy's Petit Paree restaurant in Festus."
-Jerry Berger, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“Festus boasts a very good restaurant on its Main St. The Petit Paree restaurant nestles on the east side at 228, and is a charming establishment with good food, warm service and reasonable prices. The decor adds to the feeling of comfort, with a combination of age and red plush that is slightly redolent to New Orleans.”
-Joe Pollack, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
