La Petite Bretagne

After fond memories of several visits to La Petite Bretagne pre covid, aka a few years back, I eagerly returned when visiting London. However, my recent experience left me somewhat disappointed. Upon entering, the charming ambiance remained unchanged, with the aroma of freshly made crepes wafting through the air. Excitedly perusing the menu, I ordered my favourite, a classic ham, cheese and egg crepe, accompanied by a decadent jam-filled crepe for dessert. Unfortunately, the service fell short of my expectations this time. The once attentive and friendly staff seemed preoccupied and inattentive. It took longer than usual for our order to be taken, and even longer for the food to arrive. When our crepes finally arrived, they lacked the finesse and flavour I remembered. However, by no means not enjoyable. The jam crepe, once a divine indulgence, tasted disappointingly bland, lacking the richness it used to have. Overall, while La Petite Bretagne still holds a special place in my heart for its past excellence, this recent visit left me yearning for the outstanding quality and service of years gone by. Perhaps it's a case of resting on laurels rather than maintaining standards, but I hope they can recapture their former glory in the future. I would however still recommend.

Maybe restaurant have a good food, I don’t know. We decided to go there Sunday night. It listed that restaurant closing at 10pm. We came at 9pm. Surprisingly waiter told us that chief is already closed kitchen and they not going to serve us. Well it was disappointing. We spent time to walk there. If you guys don’t want to work on Sunday night, just change your working hours to 8 or 9pm.

My favourite crêpe place in London! Feel like going back to France. Their savoury and sweet crepe are so good and the price is reasonable, highly recommend this authentic French crepe.

I guess the taste is fine but I didnt manage to eat in the end. I ordered a crepe with the spinach. I noticed that the spinach might be raw when the chef was cooking it and my partner quickly told the staff please have it fully cooked because I'm pregnant and better not eat any raw food as advised by my GP - got confirmed it will be fully cooked. But later when the dish came - it's raw. I thought there was miscommunication and asked again if I can have the spinach fully cooked - got the answer "no" saying that because it's on a crepe. Fine - then I said I dont want to order anything else and will just wait for my partner to finish his dish. LATER, HERE COMES THE MOST UPSET PART - THE TABLE NEXT TO US HAVE THEIR CREPES WITH THE COOKED SPINACH ON IT. I felt sooo upset and ran out of the restaurant ...

It’s been quite a while since my previous visit so I thought I’d go again. As with my previous experience, staff always had a lovely welcoming smile and were polite to all the customers. The prices have gone up since my last visit, but this is the same everywhere. I went shortly after they opened. It was not busy but the ambiance was good as they had some music playing softly in the background. The staff came to my table to take my order and asked if I had any dietary restrictions. There are vegetarian options available on the menu also. They also have daily specials that are written on little blackboards and set on each table. I ordered a Complète and a cappuccino. It did not take very long before everything was served. The galette was made perfectly. The texture was soft and combined with the ingredients of the Complète, the flavour was spot on. Every bite was just so perfect and satisfying all the way to the very last bite. After I finished eating, the staff came to remove my plate and offered to show me the dessert menu. I ordered the Nutella and Banana. Again, the crêpe was made very well, it was soft and delicate with a perfect amount of bananas and nutella drizzled all over the top. It did not take very long to finish as it was so tasty. I paid at the counter but you can also ask them to give you the bill at your table. Cash and credit card are accepted for payment. They charge a 12.5% service charge on your bill. When you pay they give you a free toffee which is quite nice. I’m already looking forward to my next visit. If it’s your first time there, there give you a loyalty card to collect stamps. You get one stamp for every crêpe you order and when you collect all 9 stamps, your 10th crêpe is complimentary. The opening hours shown on the card and the menu 8am - 10pm are incorrect. On the door, it says 10am - 10pm and the kitchen closes at 9:30pm.

Lovely little restaurant with excellent selection of pancakes!
