Petit Robert Central is slated to open in the former home of Vinalia on September 13, and we’ve got your first look at the menu. As at the Kenmore and South End Petit Roberts, the focus here is on French classics at a very nice price point (entrees top out at $19.75), but Petit Robert also features a few more unusual dishes: think coffee and potato soup and a duck confit and kimchi sushi roll.
