Our Mission

Petit-Amusenoun\pə-ˈtētˈ ä-ˌmüz\

Also known as amuse-bouche. A French term that literally means "mouth amusement."These are tiny bites of food served before a meal to whet the palate and invigorate the appetite. They're more whimsical than hors d'oeuvres, and smaller than appetizers.

To food lovers, a petit amuse has the power to surprise and captivate. Our goal is take this experience out of the restaurant and bring it to your doorstep.

We search out the best artisan food producers that you've never heard of and give you a taste of what you didn't even know you were missing.

Our marketplace features hand crafted regional favorites, foreign delicacies near impossible to pronounce, and local, organic versions of familiar foods that you had no idea could taste so good.

Subscribe to our sample box and we will send you a new mix of treats to explore each month.

We aim to bring the world to your door one bite at a time.
