    A friend and I just finished dining at Petite Lune as the experience was incredible. From the food, to the service and the ambiance everything was elegant, delicious, elevated and yet felt like homey comfort. Their menu is designed to be shared and it gives you the opportunity to try many of their dishes. We had their Fresh Rolls, Fish Wrap, Chicken Wings, Grilled Pork Jowl, Cuttlefish Fried Rice, and both the Tofu Pudding and Avocado Mousse desserts. Everything was super flavourful, the servers also provided great explanations on the inspiration behind the dishes which only added to the experience. Everything is reasonably priced and for the amount of food you get on top of the amazing experience is so worth it! Highly recommend this place.
