Everything! The brunch options are delicious! The desserts are scrumptious and the service was stellar! Perfect for any occasion. I’ll be back very soon!

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!

Fantastic ambiance, excellent service from Courtney, delicious food (we especially loved the cheese board). They had more than one vegetarian/vegan option which was an extra plus .

This is my favorite restaurant! The “Crottin de Chavignol” salad is delicious as is everything on the menu….Incredible desserts and a Fabulous brunch menu too. Everyone there is so nice and accommodating. The restaurant is lovely as well.

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.

A gem of a restaurant with lovely staff and a rockstar kitchen. We go often for brunch and not often enough for dinner! A very cozy atmosphere with well-executed classics and local ingredients.
Hands down our favorite breakfast spot in town from luscious scones to divine duck omelets. The service is excellent, and the owner Matt is especially welcoming and remembered us after just one visit.

Absolutely delicious breakfast and excellent coffee. Super cute venue. Will definitely go back
Allechant is inspiring. It is by far the best restaurant in Ithaca. It is always a peaceful and elegant dining experience with genuine attention from the staff. The food is beautiful, thoughtful, delicious and the menu changes frequently enough to make each visit exciting. The dishes are colorful, full of fascinating and complimentary flavors and gorgeously assembled. From the wine selection to the stunning fresh desserts, everything is a treat and perfectly paired.

The atmosphere? Beautiful. Aesthetic.
The employees? Just as much and they're very kind and attentive. Fills up your water, walks around and serves that OJ and stuff.
The food. Jesus. Why? How does this place have 5 stars? It literally takes an hour to get your food. I'm guessing they got one home kitchen back there and a chef that has a trust fund because he ain't worried about anything.
And when you finally get it? I wish I had pictures but I was fuming. I just took a few bites and left.
I got the chicken sausage, toast, egg, with some caramelized onion and ginger sauce.
Now that sauce? That one is legit. Real caramelized onions. Those are literally impossible to find because it takes an hour of nonstop stirring to make a thin pan of it at low heat.
The flavor of the sauce? Not bad. It's a novelty. Got a ginger bite to it.
Now. The meat, toast, and eggs, were the most pitiful diner food I ever ate. Perhaps I expected more due to the decor but absolutely zero flavor. The toast and a spread of butter was some kind of dark rye bread. The egg? No flavor. No salt, no pepper, no runny yolk either so don't assume it was a creative choice.
The meat? Well they had none so... Had it swapped.
The bacon? "Smoked bacon" my bum. Nothing special about it but it WAS cooked well. But absolutely unremarkable.
Oh and the roasted potatoes. Too hard and dry on random sides, felt like I was eating survival food I made in a tin can.
I will NEVER come back here to get mediocre diner food from a schizophrenic chef, just for the aesthetic of the restaurant, ever again.
Good job on the caramelized onions sauce though. The flavor was mid at best but I appreciate the hard work that was put in.

Excellent experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, not stuffy or pretentious. Fiddlehead IPA is always great and Personal Best Pilsner -local to Ithaca - was better than expected and suggested by our server. The sweet corn risotto was refreshing and a delight - who knew risotto could be made with corn? Would not go back to other risottos if given the chance. See split the fish stew and beef Wellington and they were both delicious.
Carrots and mashed potatoes with the Wellington were superb. Desserts looked good but polished off the meals so could not partake.
