Not great, crepe stuck on the plate and had to be scraped off, definitely horrible experience and waiters didnt ask about my experience and were in a hurry to leave as soon as my credit card touched the machine. I'm not even sure how it's possible to have done that, it seems like they've tried to be upmarket and have dark, stylish, rough but modern plates that aren't as smooth but it just stocks to the plate instead and shows they valued aesthetics over functionality. Besides that, the plating is clumsy on the creme de marron crepe for something supposedly upmarket and the flavour with their rum raisin ice cream did not suit well. I also had a savoury galette special of the day with leeks and scallops. The galette was reasonably crispy and leeks cooked down super soft, but the scallop texture was a little overcooked and flavour with the raw cream/seaweed butter/comte combo lacked any flavour impact. I suppose the seaweed was meant to be the Japanese influenced part of the dish but it was not adding any discernable umami. It's disappointing because I've been to the ones up North towards the 3rd arrondissement a few times over the years and enjoyed the more quaint, laid back atmosphere and galettes that didn't have these technical issues. I did not have time to contrast with the other locations on this trip (though I don't think I wanted to after getting a stuck crepe) so I hope the other locations don't have these problems but this location I would never give another...
Read moreMy wife and I happened to come here for brunch as a 2nd choice when another crepe restaurant did not accept credit card (only cash in Euro). Luckily that happened because we really enjoyed their food here! Even though there was a line to wait to get seated it was still worth to try. Line wait was about 25 mins. They had around 3 staff working at the time but no complaints from any customers. Think is a French culture/mindset? It's located in a nice corner between two one-way street traffic so it was not as heavy with vehicles driving by all the time.
For food, we got 4 dishes in total: Lobster galette rolls, itialian truffle galette, peach crepe w/ice cream, and caramel apple crepe w/ice cream. Everything taste so fresh and delicious! They were super busy, and our waitress was nice enough to patiently use our Google translate to make sure we were well taken care of since she does not speak English. She also served us coffee free on the house since they were behind on our crepe orders.
Overall lovely spot for crepe/galette if you're in the area. There are other Breizh cafes in Paris, not just this one. Amazing food, atmosphere, and service if you like Cafe style food in France! We'll be back some day the next time we...
Read moreFirst - my compliments to the Chef(s)!
This stop was a recommendation by a chef, a fellow world traveler, who has yet to steer us wrong. Home to a fantastic selection of artisanal Crêpes, from duck to a house made chocolate Crêpe that is to die for- a chocolate so smooth, I feared my kids would lick the plate clean had Ono (our stellar server) left the plate sitting for one more minute.
All presented with care, in a setting and ambience that Paris has made so famous… the street facing cafe. Patio is spacious, tables and decor Royal Blue, beautifully clean and sheik, tucked on a beautiful corner close to many Parisian landmarks. Quite memorable.
Ono our server was beyond great, multilingual of course- a fellow traveler who was a pleasure to meet. We received some friends halfway through dinner, also visiting from Rio de Janeiro. Ono added them to the adjacent table which had become free right before their arrival. We sipped wine and espresso to celebrate them completing the marathon earlier that day.
In short: the thousands of reviews speak volumes, let mine be yet another drop in the bucket- that’s sure to continue to overflow with positivity and praise.
My deepest gratitude for the experience. Until next...
