The 26 letters of the English language seem measly when trying to form any sentence adequate enough to express my true love for Allechant. I know that’s an outrageous statement, but everything this place offers—the incredible food, the amazing people and management, the wonderful atmosphere—makes it the best restaurant in Ithaca, bar-none. My partner and I have probably been to Allechant 20 times in the past two years, and it never disappoints. The brunch menu is full of fantastic staples and seasonal takes, the dinner menu is inventive and substantial, the desserts are to die for, and the serving sizes are perfect (you always feel satisfied, but rarely like you’ve over-eaten). Plus, the coffee and chai are among some of the best we’ve had locally, and the wine selection is solid, too. Plus. (And a big plus here.) The workers are INCREDIBLE!!! Seeing Matt and Katie truly brightens our week whenever we come by. Wherever we go, Allechant will always be in our hearts, and we cannot recommend this place enough.

A small cozy bistro that has an excellent brunch. The bistro is tastefully decorated, and the seats are well spaced out. The staff is attentive and friendly. Reservations are strongly recommended. We had the waffle, with pecans, pear, and cinnamon honey butter and Eggs Edinburgh. They were delicious and the portions just right. Te OJ was freshly squeezed, and the hot chocolate was a tad too sweet but chocolaty. Do note the very unusual opening hours. The bistro is opened on Thursday to Saturday from 5.30pm to 9pm and on Sunday from 10am to 2pm.

Had an amazing time here! Enjoyed the eggs Edinburgh for myself and shared the sweet toast eclair with friends. Food tastes like it it made with high quality ingredients. Sat outside and enjoyed the lovely weather with my dog. Highly recommend coming here and making reservations in advance. Owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, servers are great too.

Excellent service. I went for brunch, starting with a chai latte. They have the best chai latte, truly exquisite. I had a special omelet with pesto and Italian chorizo, a formidable mix of flavors. To end I had a delicious eclair. I will definitely return.

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 Souffle 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!

Always an amazing experience. The French toast and eclairs are delicious. We also tried the omelette (with I think parsley and bacon?) today and it was the best omelette we’ve ever had, period.

Very cute brunch spot. The food and service were delicious. The coffee was excellent and I am very excited to go back for dinner. I got the eggs Benedict with a side of potatoes. Everything was seasoned perfectly. Also to note, the orange juice was incredible. Fresh squeezed and delicious.
