    Felt like I was in Paris. Crepes were delicious and like the variety of specials in addition to the regular menu.

    Love Planchette… always a great experience. Even better on Friday and Saturday when the accordion player is there.

    Great food, attentive service, nice menu. However, the table was only 20 inches square and was only 6 inches from the next table over. Also, whenever the door opened a blast of arctic cold air swept across our table.

    My husband and I enjoyed another wonderful dinner at Planchette’s again prior to seeing Christmas in the Catskills at Act II Playhouse this past Friday. Service, food and ambiance were all superb. They even had live accordion music! My husband tried the steak this time and said it was one of the best he has ever had, and that means a lot coming from him! My mushroom, Gruyère and duck crepe with truffle sauce was delectable. We also both had the lobster bisque again as it was so delicious on our first visit. Highly recommend checking out this wonderful restaurant!

    A cute BYO in the heart of Ambler has wonderful food, great service, and lots of energy on the weekends. For a quieter experience go during the week, food and service are exactly the same.
