Pâtes et Traditions
Pâtes et Traditions, an off-the-beaten-path BYOB spot in Williamsburg, was recommended to us by a Brownstoner reader. Sarah Horne for New York magazine writes, "For those with rusty high school French, pâtes refers to pasta, not pâté, and the latter is nowhere to be found here. Instead, Niçoise chef Lorenzo Gantonio, offers a selection of cream-laden pasta dishes and buckwheat crêpes with skinny-jean defying fillings like Roquefort, walnuts, and more cream."
"The long list of crepes includes both savory (brie and apple, mushroom) and sweet (Nutella, French chestnut, Suzette) offerings, and the prices [for the dessert crepes] are recession-friendly at $3.50 to $6 a pop. The entrees are pasta-centric, with a cream, bacon and parsley dish and a lighter chicken with white wine sauce," says Metromix.
Yelper Maria L. raves, "This place is a real hidden gem! Great food, great service and cute atmosphere.... The place is run by a French family from Nice and they are as warm and attentive as can be. They also serve brunch on the weekends and they have a great lunch special (savory crepe or pasta with soda for $9) during the week." What are your thoughts on this place?

Wow - I've walked by here a million times and never noticed it.

This place is great. Cheap, friendly and the crepes are amazing. They don't have a liquor license, which is semi-problematic if you need booze with your food, but it also guarantees that there's usually a table.

The people are lovely, but you have to really like crepes because that is pretty much all they have.
