What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Alléchant is praised for its unique and delicious brunch offerings, particularly the Lemon Soufflé Pancakes and French Toast 'éclair', alongside a cozy ambiance and friendly service. However, some diners have experienced significant kitchen delays, leading to lukewarm dishes and smaller portion sizes relative to the price, which can detract from the overall dining experience.
"Very friendly staff, nice ambiance, excellent food. The omelet had an unexpected but awesome freshness and depth from the added lemon, amazing textures and flavors in the dessert. Renia made the best cappuccino I've had in a while. Would definitely comeback."

"Went here for a quick Easter brunch with my boyfriend, the staff and owner were so lovely, and the place has such a beautiful atmosphere! We started with the Belgian Hot Chocolate, which tasted like melted dark chocolate - so rich! For entrees, I ordered the Lemon Soufflé Pancakes and my boyfriend got the Eggs Benedict Fiesole. The pancakes were incredibly light and airy, subtley-sweet (which is exactly what I was looking for!) with the perfect amount of lemon - practically melted in my mouth! The benedict was delicious as well (he ate most of it aha) but from the bits I had, everything was very fresh and thoughtfully put together. I've been looking to eat here for a few months now, and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. I hope to be back soon!"

"My husband and I tried this place for our first time today for brunch. The brunch menu was great with fantastic choices. It was honestly hard to pick. Mary was our server. She was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The food did not disappoint. Everything was timely, unique, and delicious. We will definitely return. This is a wonderful place to visit. I highly recommend trying this restaurant!"

It does not have a ton of gluten free options, but the gluten free options it offers are solid. The cafe has a great ambience, the staff is friendly, and the coffee is strong. I particularly love the Spring Roll Salad.
