Bistro Barberet & Bakery: Experience Authentic French Cuisine in Lancaster, PA

incredible dining experience, checked all the boxes. definitely the place to try escargot. very authentic French cuisine, sublime dishes. I had the moules frites and my partner had the burger. our server Meredith was attentive and lovely. we will certainly be back, we can't wait to try more of the menu! what a spectacular birthday dinner

The perfect date night, or evening spent with friends. I had the beef tartar; the beef was cut so delicate and the explosion on flavor in your mouth is exceptional. The salmon and side were a double take. A must go back to enjoy. The pastry shop is out of this world.

Both the bakery and bistro are exceptional -- best desserts in the city by far. My family has tried everything in the bakery by now, and nothing has disappointed; the fruit tart, Snickers dessert, and Azure are perennial favorites. The bistro is a lovely fine dining option if you have the time; a streamlined but authentic French menu. Service is always spectacular, and the ambiance is very refined yet inviting. Again, everything I've tried has been stellar (Get the bouillabaisse if it's available!). The bistro is ideal place for a special occasion, while the bakery is worth a visit any time, for any reason.

Missing wifi for patrons. Coffee excellent. Patisseries impressive looking and taste as perfect as in France. A great experience.

My husband and I come to the bakery every time we're in Lancaster for incredible pastries and have had great experiences in the bistro for dinner. Most recently, we had our wedding rehearsal dinner in the bistro. We had the best time - the whole night was incredible from the food and drinks to the friendly service. We also ordered baguette sandwiches and desserts for our wedding day lunch and our bridal party loved it. Highly recommend Barberet for all things - breakfast, dinner, dessert, catering, or hosting an event!

Fantastic pastries, especially if you want something unique. They are reasonably priced for how filling and good they are. The allergens are clearly marked for each item and there are several gluten free choices. They also have teas and coffees. There is a long counter with bar stools where you can sit and enjoy the pastries as well as a full service restaurant in back. The bar seating isn't the easiest if you are there with more than one other person and want to have a conversation but at least there is an option to sit and eat.

The desserts look great here, but the important part is that they taste just as good! I liked everything I’ve tried here, but I would personally recommend getting the Azure if you’re a chocolate fan or the Coco Bomb if you like fruity flavors. There are sandwiches too, but I don’t think they’re as good as the pastries. I look forward to coming here all the time and I’m always happy when I do.

Barberet Bakery stands as a quintessential representation of traditional French pâtisserie, offering a generous selection of croissants, macarons, eclairs, and more. The service was impeccable - friendly and patient ( it took us a while to decide what we wanted). We took a raspberry tart, a raspberry macaron, and a pistachio eclair, each item was a true testament to the bakery's dedication to freshness and perfection. Pistachio eclair was recommended by owner as his most favorite and I can definitely see why. The absolutely flawless raspberries deserve special appreciation! Also we took an almond croissant and an apple turnover to go. And coffee was as delicious as everything else! Every item we sampled was superb. If you're in the area and searching for an authentic French bakery - this is the place! Barberet Bakery is truly in a league of its own. And just so you know it might just set an impossibly high bar for all future bakery experiences.
