La vitrine était très propre & le décor correct. Pour le reste ce fut très, très ordinaire ! La soupe à l'oignon était à peine tiède. Nous avons tous eu l'impression que c'était une soupe congelée qu'ils font réchauffer. Que dire des crêpes tant salées que sucrées !?! Une crêpe'parisienne' avec une tranche de jambon cuit très ordinaire, une béchamel tiède & trois ou quatre champignons pré-cuits. Elle n'était pas chaude, mais tiède & sans réel goût. La crêpe sucrée'Dame Tatin' avec des prétendues pommes caramélisées, un caramel salé avec crème glacée. Encore là, les pommes semblent provenir d'une conserve, le caramel salé est quasi absent. Très décevante. Nous y sommes allés parce qu'on croyait que ça s'apparentait à l'ancien Ty-Breiz de la rue Rachel & qui est maintenant fermée. Alors là, pas du tout ! Le Breiz Café n'arrive pas à la cheville de l'ancien Ty-Breiz. Finalement, un resto à rayer de ma liste.
Qualité & goût des plats (soupe aux onions & crêpe sarrasin complète dans mon cas) impressionnants, excellent service & ambiance très agréable - repas parfait, merci !

Bel accueil à la crêperie. Charmant décor, simple & agréable. La table d'hôte est très bien avec choix de soupe, crêpes au sarrasin (sans gluten) & desserts. Avec un verre de vin, c'est un merveilleux repas.
Breizh Café c'est sympa. Nous étions 4 & nous avons chacun pris une table d'hôte (soupe, crêpe, dessert). Service attentionné de Solenne qui nous a conseillés dans le choix des plats. Nous avons tous commandé des crêpes salées, J'ai adoré ma `Crêpe Parisienne` à laquelle Solenne m'a suggéré de remplacer le jambon par un oeuf. Miam! (vous l'aurez deviné, le jambon ne fait pas parti de mes favoris...) . Comme dessert, j'ai choisi un classique Far Breton accompagné d'une boule de crème glacée à la vanille. Belle expérience à renouveler.
Seconde visite & aussi satisfait que lors de la première. Rosalie notre serveusefut sympathique aidant & rapide au bon moment. Un bon souper avec un couple d'amis dui comme nous on bien apprécié. Une suggestion respectueuse au patron Breton. Il pourrait y avoir davantage de choix d'entrées & de dessert.
During my stay in Montreal, I ate at Breizh café twice. The first time, I was quite impressed with the food. Breizh café has a course menu where I can choose a starter, savory, & sweet crepe for $27. I ordered the soup du jour, which was a parsnip vegetable soup, the smoked salmon, swiss cheese, & spinach crepe, & the Belgian chocolate crepe. The soup du jour was hearty & flavorful. It was hands down one of the best vegetable soups I've had. The smoked salmon, swiss, & spinach crepe came in a buckwheat crepe, which had a good texture to it. Lastly, the Belgian chocolate crepe was quite sweet & rich for my liking, but the first few bites were still enjoyable. Because of my enjoyable first experience, I decided to go back a second time. This time, the restaurant was busy & looked heavily understaffed. It was a Saturday so I was confused as to why it was understaffed. That being said, I waited for 20 minutes before I had my order taken. When our waiter finally came, I ordered the French Onion Soup, the tomato & goat cheese crepe, & the apple cinnamon dessert crepe. Then I waited 30 minutes for the French onion soup alone, 40 more minutes for the savory crepe & another 30 more minutes for the dessert crepe following the savory crepe. In addition, our waiter never cared to check on our table & just ignored us every time he walked past. Regarding the food, the French onion soup was salty & watery but bland in terms of flavor from the beef stock & onions. It was one of the more mediocre French onion soups I've had, & I'd expect much better from a creperie in Montreal. The tomato & goat cheese buckwheat crepe was bland, dry & cold, as if it was sitting in the pass for an extended period of time, & the apple cinnamon crepe also came cold. Overall, my second visit to Breizh café consisted of long wait times & inconsistent food, & thus was a major disappointment. It was evident that the restaurant being understaffed on a Saturday affected both customer service & quality control.
My kids & I wanted some authentic French crepes & then we strike gold with this place everything was made from scratch they had amazing coffee cappuccino french onion soup the Crepes were insane they had Savory & sweet I had a flambe rum personally.
Had a wonderful meal here today. Frederic's food is top quality. Delicious soups, great selection of crepes. A cozy restaurant & friendly atmosphere. We will go again, & highly recommend.
