We had an incredible meal there last night, and it was extremely reasonable. The galette filled with prosciutto and parmesan was delicious, and the merguez stuffed squid fabulous. The main courses were basically straight out of Cyril Renaud's former very high end restaurant Fleur de Sel, just a bit heartier. Beautifully prepared, absolutely delicious food, nice friendly service in a lovely relaxed room, all at good prices. We can't wait to return and try every single thing on the menu. Go!

My girlfriend and I ate here last week, and it was a very pleasant surprise. The place was quite busy for lunch, but service was prompt and attentive, the list of wine, beer, and even cider had great selections and value, the food was really good (the burger and the pork terrine appetizer with the truffle dressing were great), and the desserts were traditional, but well executed and tasty. I would go back for sure - the food is the big draw here.

it was so disapointing... i've been waiting for a real Breton restaurant in NYC for years so i was really excited to discover this new place. well, it's not Breton at all. Too bad... It's overpriced, teh service is awful, the "pate a crepe" is good but the menu is so poor.

For all those who think that you will find paradise there and be able to eat real "galette" as suggested....you are dreaming ! First, the decor is just awful, cold, not any charm... Second, the menu....Creperie ? ! Are you kidding, only 4 different "galettes" proposed, not any one with real briton touch. Only one kind of Cider available and overpriced : bottle at 45 bucks when you know that in France you buy cider as you buy apple juice... Third, as I said, overpriced !!! Last but not least, we were all sick all night long... So AVOID this restaurant if yoy expect finding there the real "creperie" atmosphere and taste that you are used to...If ever you have never tasted this french speciality, this is not a typical one and just don't go there..

We tried to have lunch at Bar Breton on a Monday. The key word being tried. Our group of 3 had a lunch reservation and we were seated promptly. Unfortunately, that was the only good thing that happened during our short stay. We asked 3 separate waiters to take our order but our table was completely ignored. After waiting for at least 30 minutes our group left. None of the service staff or either hostess apologized for the foul up. Needless to say we will not return for a second try. Also, it is a cash only establishment despite what is being advertised on this website.
