Petit Four, a French restaurant, has opened in Hawkshead in the Lake District. The restaurant serves dishes including a 14-ounce sirloin steak, duck, beef bourguignon and red wines. It opened in March this year and is accessed via a doorway in Hawkshead's Square, up a flight of stairs.

The restaurant is located in Hawkshead, a village accessed via rural B-roads that attracts fewer tourists than nearby towns such as Ambleside and Bowness. Reviews online are described as universally positive, with a growing buzz about the establishment.

The opening comes amid criticism of overuse of the term 'hidden gem' by Lake District influencers and content creators to describe both long-established restaurants and tourist-oriented eateries with inflated prices.
