A small, rather unobtrusive building located on Dundas St. W. hides one of Wihitby's best kept secrets --a family-run restaurant offering French- continental cuisine and, surpxisingly, an informai environment. Owner and chef John Seferlis has had 25 years of experience in preparing French and continental cuisine at the Westbury Hotel in Toronto, Maxim's de Paris in Chicago, and a previous family-run restaurant. La- Petite is a "semi-retirement" venture for Seferlis and bis family helps te run the operation. If there is a problemn with the food or the atmosphere, the owner says he gets comments from his fanuily directly, unlike the large franchises where complaints run through a series of 'bureaucratic" channels with usually- no significant resuits.

A cbild's menu is also available, priced from $5.95 te $6.95 per dinner; and there are several specials offered at any given time. "Why drive to Toronto (for French continental cooking) when you cari drive te a neighborhood place where you don't have to dress up formally?' Seferlis notes.
