Chez Marcel in Bristol, City of

The galettes were the best I've eaten in years. All of them are gluten-free too! The crepes were also amazing. It's such an attractive little place, and with the staff apparently all being French you can kind of imagine you're in France - the food is certainly good enough. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful hidden gem. I love sitting somewhere and feeling like I'm not just another customer, very nice staff and what I presume was the owner seemed passionate. The food wasn't served with fancy plates or cutlery, it doesn't need it! Delicious honest food. Please try this spot.

Third time here and it's been consistently amazing. The outside section street is a lovely place to eat and drink now that it is pedestrianised...thank you Marcel and Marin you're the best! Favourite: La Marcel Crepe and and Americano

Authentic crepes from britanny. Sweet and savoury, with cider or coffee, whatever you mood. Definitely try

We have eaten at Chez Marcel several time now and love it. We have a galette each, this time we chose "La Bergère" and "La Farick" Both really delicious, accompanied by a lovely cup of tea. Always a great welcome and perfect galettes. We will return!

A very nice spot in the old city, just stop by and have their delicious crepes and savouries!

Super tasty crepes. Lovely place.

Crepes are amazing so are the galettes

The cheese galette was delicious, but they all looked really good. The very kind waitress.

This place gets a glorious thumbs up from us; only popped in for a coffee but the service, attitude and style was spot on and the young lady made the coffee really well. Chef seems like a real Don too. Looking forward to coming back here for food. Nice🎩 💜💫💜

I tried the Nordic galette (with smoked salmon) and it was delicious. We arrived just after 9am on a Tuesday and we were the only customers so there's very convenient times in terms of avoiding the crowds: however on the flipside, it seemed the two staff were still busy cleaning the restaurant as I had to walk in to place the order rather than expecting table service. Their coffee was decent (lacking the modern latte art of many espresso-serving establishments) and their al fresco seating was refreshing even though it's close to vehicles.

French pancakes in Bristol, you can't ask for more! Nice place to eat, I recommend it

Amazing food. Fascinating doctor who connection, it's the toymakers shop!

Spur of the moment visit. Had passed before and decided to give it a go. The restaurant looks authentic from the exterior and lives up to that when you enter. Friendly welcome and a menu that offers plenty of choice without being overwhelming. We went for a savoury galette with cheese and spicy sausage and a couple of sweet ones. All were served piping hot, were a decent size and absolutely delicious. The coffee was good as well. The service was friendly without being too intrusive and had a good chat with our server about Normandy afterwards. We really enjoyed it and will be back

One of the best places in Bristol, distinguished by serving crepes with different flavors and their coffee is very beautiful👍🏻 The taste is amazing, the service is excellent, and the latte is nothing short of amazing I advise you to visit it 👍🏻👍🏻

Brilliant, Genuine, full of flavour

Delicious food, great customer service and nice little cozy place

Buzzing creperie with huge choice of crêpes and gallettes. Service was a little on the slow side, but great atmosphere inside (some outside seating available too).

Delicious savoury galettes washed down with a mug of French cider. A great lunch.

Amazing crepes and atmosphere! Got transfered to France indeed, will return!

Tasty food, and surprisingly filling. It's a small place but there is also some outdoor seating. The staff were chatty and friendly. Unfortunately there were building works going on in the street outside when we visited.

I recently visited this charming shop that offers both sweet and savoury crepes. I chose for the savoury crepe and it was delicious. The feeling was favourable and perfectly balanced the ambulance. The vibes of the shop is cozy and comfortable, I’m looking forward to try another one of their sweet crepes next time! Highly recommended.

Really nice little place with some outside seating. Interesting range of crepes etc, but also really good for a coffee.

Tasty crepe in Bristol. Would recommend it

Lovely little Creperie in Bristol. Not sure how I haven't found this place sooner, but will definitely be going back for my pancake fix. Not having a sweet tooth I went for one of the savoury pancakes - 'La Complete' (ham, emmental and egg) and a mug of dry cider.

Such a cute spot, visited in the afternoon. We got one sweet crepe and one savoury, both were lovely :) The service was really good and speedy! Sat by the window - we almost felt like we were in France!

What a great find - Galettes were delicious and transported us back to French holidays. I had the spinach and goats cheese - delicious. We have been searching for a brunch spot in Bristol Centre for a long time. Most have been disappointing and often trying too hard to be trendy - in our experience this means expensive. We received a friendly welcome and our food arrived quickly - all freshly made - superb. We will most definitely return when we are next visiting Bristol.

Nice moment in the heart of Bristol where a piece of France warmly welcomes you. Breton pancakes and pancakes are delicious and hearty. The service is quality. Very good value for money. Possibility of eating on the terrace.

Lovely Creperie! Good tasty stuff!

Lured in by the irresistible smell, my daughter and I had gorgeous crepe breakfast (mine, savoury; daughter’s, sweet). If we hadn’t been leaving Bristol later that day, we would have definitely come back to sample more of the menu. Reminded me of France and staff were lovely.

Fantastic food, coffee and service! One of our favourite places in Bristol, good for breakfast, brunch or lunch, cosy inside + outside seating

Excellent (and authentic) crepes, both savory and sweet, fast and pleasant service. We had a great time.

Been there a couple of times and the food is really good! Just this one time, one of the crepes we ordered was extra salty, and tried to tell the server about it, but they were kinda rude and refused to do anything about it, saying it's the same batter, just one can't be extra salty :/

Blimey what a treat. I had L'Andalouse (chorizo, Emmenthal, egg), she had la Forestiere (Jambo , Emmenthal, egg). Cooked great. Coffee is also bang on. Cosy, nice atmosphere, decor, music, people. Clean toilets. Vive la France.

Lovely lunch. My friend, who does not lives in Bristol, always wants to go to Chez Marcel. Lovely gallettes!!

This place was crammed. We managed to get a table. Food and service was great. If you like savoury or sweet crepes, this is the place for you.

Chez Marcel is an authentic french creperie in Bristol. Their crepes taste the same as the ones you could eat in France; both savory and sweet crepes are good, prices are decent too. The service is efficient, the atmosphere is friendly, there are tables outside but you can also seat inside. There’s no other creperie in town so it’s a popular spot, but we never had to wait for too long to get a table. I’d surely recommend if you like french crepes.

Food was nothing special and it was overpriced. Service was sloppy - they never brought out my drink and they kind of threw the cutlery onto my table instead of placing it gently like normal. At least they don't auto add service charge to your bill.

I think the price is a bit expensive for what you get, but I really love the atmosphere in here, the decor is appealing & it's tasty.

Great authentic cafe that genuinely feels like you could be in France. Staff were great especially when we accidentally left a wallet behind!

The best crêpes in Bristol - authentic yet accessible and well priced. Lovely service

Lovely spot hidden away! Felt like being back in France, the crepes and coffee were amazing. Highly recommend

I arrived at 3:15 pm and was waiting outside by the door for my friend to arrive so we can be seated, meanwhile people were entering the restaurant and just sat down they didn’t even order. My friend arrived at 3:20 and we came into the place as the guy was taking some people’s orders then he came to us and we asked for a table for 2, he said sorry you can’t sit you can just get takeaway and some people literally just ordered. The restaurant says it closes at 4 pm on google maps and on the sign outside the restaurant so if its 3:20 it’s supposed to be still open. VERY DISAPPOINTING

Fab food, with vegan options. Will definitely be returning.

I went for breakfast, the venue is small but cosy, I also appreciated the background music and the atmosphere in general. I took a crêpe with chocolate sauce and orange marmalade. It was good but not very balanced. The marmalade bitterness covered almost completely the taste of the chocolate. That was also because the chocolate sauce has a very mild taste and remains too "neutral". The hot chocolate wasn't hot, unfortunately. Globally it was an ok experience, hence the three stars.

Girlfriend and I went for a Crêpe and a beer here for brunch on the weekend and enjoyed the welcome, the food and the peaceful location very much.

I had no idea crepes could taste this good. Mine was a savoury with ham, eggs, mushrooms and gruyere - delicious and not too heavy compared with a trad English breakfast. Had to wait a bit for them to arrive being a busy Saturday morning but well worth it.

Galette und Cyder waren gut. Das Personal leider sehr unfreundlich und wollte uns zuerst gar nicht bedienen.

超級好吃的法式薄餅！服務也很親切，價格合理，肯定讓人想再訪，來布里斯托一定要來！！！

Written work from 9:00 to 16:00. As a result, they open late and close earlier. The attitude towards customers is terrible, the service leaves much to be desired. Tried to make the delivery was refused. Expect something big from the service is not worth it. Because they don't care about you. According to the rest of the reviews, I can see it too. This is the only place where the service is poor. The only thing that pleases is only the food and sometimes the products are not super fresh, that's all. It's best to go to “Creams Cafe” (sweet crepes) or to “Quick Crepes” (with sweet and meat crepes). They are located nearby.

The crepes here is FANTASTIC!! They got a full range of savoury and sweet crepes and We just one of them each! We both loved the savoury one so much, it is pretty much a breakfast with the crispy crepes! Also do love the Nutella one as well with nuts! Definitely going to try the sweet one with ice cream next time!

The place itself is nice but the crepe didn’t taste fresh and it was only browned on one side.

Lovely atmosphere. The crepes are nice but nothing espectacular and a bit overpriced. We had to wait a bit too much (20 min) for a hot chocolate and a crepe

A little Paris in Bristol. Delicious gallette, nice staff, cozy place, fair price - definitely recommend it!!

Probably the best crepe and galette I have ever had so far. We ordered La Speisse and La Nordique. The chocolate sauce on La Speisse was so addicting, combined with orange jam, very classic really, what's not to like? La Nordique was kind of fancy, with the salmon and the caviar. You should eat every component together in one bite to really appreciate the harmony: saltiness from the salmon and caviar, creaminess of the cottage cheese, and a hint of sourness from the lemon. Both were huge in size and we had just eaten something filling right before coming here but we managed to finish everything off since it was that good.

It took an hour and a half for us to get our food . It was nice and all but not worth the wait

Fabulous crepes! Great choice on the menu, I definitely recommend going!

Enjoyed our crepes and gallettes at Chez Marcel and have gone back for more...definitely one of our faves

Worst customer service!! It says opens at 9, we were there 9:05 and the waiter said i m still preparing and wait 10 minutes in a rude way.. did not accept that we sit outside even, and was very unwelcoming and we decided to leave

lovely food, the staff were friendly and helpful. Real French Speakers! fab!

Service is so bad. Never experienced such a bad service like that in bristol . I’ve lived in bristol for 4years and never been treated in that way in a restaurant. I came with my family and there were 2 empty tables . No one welcomed us so we sat and we suddenly hear “ hay hay hay” what are you doing. I politely replied that we are looking for a table for 4 and he said “ no no no” you need to wait. I again politely replied” how much is the waiting time” he said I don’t know and I can’t tell you but in a way that he seemed he didn’t want to welcome us or that he didn’t even want us to wait. I told him there is an empty table and he replied” yes there is an empty table , I am very busy , I cannot serve you” . I was not upset by the words he used but his tone was discussing. I’ve tried the restaurants 3 months ago , the food was amazing , but I think if they keep on treating some guests that way, they would loose them

Authentic delicious crepes from friendly, handsome Frenchmen. What’s not to like?

Very authentic experience thoroughly enjoyed by myself and some frenchies

Great choice of crepes, sweet and savoury ones. Fast service and good location!

Had a gorgeous lunch at Chez Marcel, the galettes were really tasty and there was a great selection. All the galettes are GF too. Really pleased we stopped here.

Friendly staff, delicious savoury pancakes.

Delicious savoury gallettes sat by the window, watching the world go by and washed down by two pichets of cider which were rather good!

Nice to have some crepes outside, friendly staff. Ordered a £3.40 orange juice but got served a half-opened tiny bottle that looked like it came from Tesco... Really not sure how that was possible, but the worst part is paying that much for it. Felt like I got robbed, but the crepes are excellent.

Absolutely Delicious. Great variety. Something for everyone. Staff are a delight.

This cozy cafe that gave me the best impressions! Good vibes, perfect location, hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, and tasty coffes. I definitely recommend it to everyone! I will come back here again and again. Sit outdoor and enjoy the sun and city vibes✨️

A good selection of both savoury and sweet crapes. The portions are not very big, it's quality over quantity, so in my case I could have done with a bit more food, but for some it would be an ideal size. Nice outdoor and inside seating . Staff were good and we didn't need to spend ages trying to pay the bill.

Magnifique. Everything you want and expect from a French galette restaurant.

What a nice little gem. Staff super friendly and food was served fresh and warm. Coffee slightly underwhelming, but the crepe definitely worth a trip. So delicious, and crispy at the edge, cooked to perfection. Very nice vibe going there. Can’t wait to come back.

A really nice French cafe with awesome crepes & coffee with a cool vibe. Would go again :)

Had ham and cheese crepes and they were average. Not really like French crepes.

Slow. Slow service. Actually crossing the line to bad and frankly rude service. Our waitress purposefully ignored us and pretended not to hear us, served tables in the wrong order just because they were closer to where she was standing. It was very frustrating. I wouldn't recommend this place or go back despite the food being tasty, which it was. The coffee was ok, a bit weak and watery. The front of house staff need retraining.

Crepes and coffees are nice. Staff is friendly. Sat on the outside patio as place is rather difficult with a stroller indoors.

very good crepes, great ambience, and staff was very friendly! must get the lemon & sugar crepe

Great little spot to grab a bite to eat and a coffee and watch the world go by.

A French creperie in Bristol where you hear the workers talk in French and make crepes following the original recipe. A wonderful experience overall.

God Awfull. They do not care slightest about any customer services. Totally dissapointed.

Authentic Bretagne cuisine served by attentive hosts

Crepe and cider, just like in France!

Fall in love with this place as a french person I can just only agree more for this place ❤️

Awful! Really not deserving of your money! It took 1 hour and 10 minutes for two savoury crepes. The staffs attitudes and communication skills are dreadful - there were no apologies despite them taking over 20 minutes to take our order, another 20 minutes for our two coffess to arrive and then another 40 minutes for the food to start arriving. Our crepes came out before tables that arrived before us and were given to the wrong table. No apology again for the confusion and the order was wrong! My crepe was the right one but my partners was wrong. There was also confusion of whether it was even our order due to it being the wrong crepe - so it meant I had my crepe waiting on the table for a further 5 mins (getting even colder!) and my partner waiting 10 further mins for his order to come out. The food itself - I'm sure if its fresh, warm and the environment its served in is actually palatable, then it might be worth the £10-12 for the food and nearly £4 for the coffee, but given the actual experience and also reading the arrogant replies from the restaurant on other poor Google reviews, I'm feeling very salty about the whole experience and giving money to the establishment. When the bill arrived, they had only taken the coffees off as compensation and wouldn't budge that was enough compensation in their mind. When I asked what happened, the guy replied 'its been like this all week, its been half term and busy'... What kind of justification is that?! Please save yourself the wasted time and effort and avoid or better yet - head to France and get some crepes there, you'll probably get them sooner that way ;)

A nice piece of France in Bristol

A lovely cozy place 🥰 the service was really good and the food was tasty

Open until 4pm, tried to order at 1550 told no we are closed!

Service is poor. Take ages to take your order. Food is good

Overall, I really good place to try if you like creps. However, if you are a coffee lover, better go to another place. My resume: -Atmosphere: 5/5. Nice cozy place. -Coffee: 3/5. Not really good. I would ask for another drink if I went again. -Creps: 4/5. It was really good. Definitely worth a try. It is not 5/5 because is expensive although maybe because of the context.

This is a great place for brunch, though they could do with more staff during the busy periods.

Best crêpes in the city but the best thing is the authentic french cider. Many happy memories of holidays in the North of France are evoked by this quaint and vibrant restaurant.

Very cosy French creperie in the centre of Bristol. The staff were very friendly and very accommodating, finding us a table and serving us quickly on a busy day. The food was great, we had both a savoury and a sweet crepe, both of which were lovely. Worth a visit if you're in Bristol

Really friendly staff and evidently a local favourite. Very cosy but not to the point you were on top of each other. The portions were generous.

Great crepes but a bit expensive for their quantity! The vibe of the store is so french!

I was very excited to come here as I love crepes/pancakes. Unfortunately this place is just not for me. Around 14:00PM today we arrived and we were greeted by a very friendly man with curly hair. It was quite busy but were able to have a seat inside by the window (thank you for that!). This place is small but very cosy, there is also an outside sitting area which is nice. I ordered the Hot Chocolate milk with cream and my partner ordered a cappuchino. My "Hot" Chocolate milk was not hot at all, I was very shocked they served "hot chocolate milk" at that low temperature... the cup was not warm (although it tasted very nice but the low temperature of the drink was horrible). My partners coffee and cup was HOT and he enjoyed his coffee. So maybe I just chose the wrong drink. I ordered the ham, cheese and mushroom crepe. They only use 1,5 piece of ham (they cut it in half so you have 3 small pieces of ham which I think is a bit greedy for the amount you pay). I did really enjoy the buckwheat, it tasted very nice and healthy as well. At the end a tall guy with brown straight longer hair gave us the bill. I am used to be asked after eating if everything was alright and fine.. however, he didn't ask us but just plainly gave us the bill and that's it. It was not busy anymore at that time. I really wanted to explain my experience here but guess they don't really care about customers. I won't come back anymore as it is too expensive for the amount of food and service you receive.

I was searching for a quick snack, I found amazing place with atmosphere, great and fresh food and friendly and fast staff. 10/10.

The food was wonderful and the staff were very friendly. Service was great as well. I will be visiting again next time I am in Bristol. Thank you for a lovely birthday meal. I loved it!🏆

Ça fait plaisir de retrouver une bonne crêperie française en Angleterre ! En plus le personnel était très sympa :)

Nice galette and nice service. Bistro atmosphere and good coffee. Would recommend.
