We visited Bar Breton the other night to try their galettes - crepes, but with a toothsome, somewhat acid buckwheat. I'll say that I enjoyed mine - the first ham and cheese with egg, and the second nutella - but will note that I found it unnecessarily expensive ($16 for a crepe?). My fiancee had a salmon dish on the menu, as she didn't want crepes. It was competent, but entirely a throwaway. My pear cider was excellent.
What do I recommend? Get a savory crepe at Bar Breton, and then visit the amazing Crepes Lady in midtown for your sweets. She makes an amazing crepe, crunchy and tender and blistered with butter, and you get to talk to a treasure of a woman while you're at it.
EDIT: My last visit to the crepes lady, Madeleine messed up the first crepe she tried for me, made another, and folded the first into the second before applying the nutella, saying that when she was a child, this is how it was done in Brittany anyway. I have no idea whether that's true or not, but I don't care, as it was doubly delicious.

I think that should be "$16 for a crepe?!?!?!?!"
Especially a crepe with Nutella. That is an insane price for something even I can cook with a minimum of fuss and mess.
No, the nutella crepe is $7. 16 is the crepe with ham and eggs and cheese and salad.
