Little Sister

Hi, we’re Little Sister.

Little Sister is a Puerto Rican café, restaurant & bakery turning out inspired breakfast pastries, brunch & lunch during the day, a multi-course tasting menu with wine pairings on Friday nights, and a lively wine tasting on Sunday evenings. At Little Sister, we want you to feel like you’re hanging out at a friend’s house eating delicious home cooking, always something new!

We are inspired by the tropical comfort foods we cherish from our childhood in Puerto Rico, flavors picked up in our travels along the way, and seasonal New England bounty.

WINE BAR ENERGY

every friday & saturday Evening

Our unique and eclectic natural wine selection has grown to include over 70 bottles from niche growers and winemakers. We have a special focus on Spanish producers, natural and biodynamic winemaking and truly offbeat flavor profiles. We are so thrilled to open our doors and pour these incredible gems for you in a casual wine bar style, with small plates and glasses priced to move. Milena and Darcy are cooking off-the-cuff dishes inspired by the flavors of Puerto Rico and whatever is looking good to pair with the wines we’re pouring.

Spice up your weekend nights and try something new! No reservations offered, simply walk in!

Chef’s tasting menu

offered on select dates to our friends of the house

We’re offering a five-course tasting menu inspired by the flavors of Puerto Rico, but done with our own flair and sense of taste. Sample unique takes on traditional foods that we grew up with, featuring fresh Rhode Island seafood, vegetables grown by our friends, desserts prepared by our skilled bakers and wines selected by the same folks cooking your food to be the perfect match. Our friends have described our cooking as “off the charts”, “mysterious”, “there’s nothing like this in Providence” — do you dare come try?

This menu is currently offered by invitation only — getting invited is as easy as joining our email list!
