    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.

    This is my 3rd time at planchette and it is definitely becoming a Go-to restaurant for special occasions. The service is friendly but unobtrusive. There is a lot of variety on the menu and the specials always sound delightful. I’m so glad that I found out about this place.

    Our first dinner visit. Great food and amiable from to the house. Took me back to my (hundreds of) casual dinners in France.

    Enjoyed another tasty meal at Planchette on a Saturday night. The place was packed when we arrived for our 7:30 reservation, with a number of tables waiting to be served. We were seated within a reasonable time, given how busy it was. It was a bit stuffy in the restaurant- until we asked if the A/C could be turned on/lower. Appetizers were good, but the crepes are always the star of the show - full of flavor and generously portioned. Two of us enjoyed the “traditional “ crepe, while a 3rd manner of the party had the Mediterranean crepe, modified to add seafood. We finished the meal by sharing a very nice chocolate cake.

    I took my best friend here for a late lunch for her 40th bday! It was delicious! We shared the escargots, the duck crepe with truffle cream, and braised short ribs! We also had creme brûlée and a chocolate truffle cake! Great service and great atmosphere!
