Good food, large menu to choose from. Service is very good. Can't go wrong here. Good location downtown Galena

We had the Lobster Bisque special and Steak Sandwich. We really enjoyed both. Too full to try the desserts but will be back for them.

Highest quality food in Galena. Many fresh daily sandwiches, pastries, dinner specials, and a beautiful little wine bar in the back. Pinky thoroughly explained all of the options. She was the best! read more

Service excellent and a nice place. read more

Straight A's all around. We stopped for a snack there without knowing much of what to expect, remembering that it was in construction last year. We are picky about French food, as we should, since we are French! We had a few pieces of cake to share, and it was heaven! Also, the people were very nice, and we were very comfortable there. Overall a great time! read more

Very busy and a great place especially for brunch. Three girlfriends shared a fantastic sandwich with some wine and that allowed us to graze thru other candy stores and ice cream shops all day long in Galena. read more

Pastries were delicious. Did not get any sandwiches, they looked great. Like Starbucks where they warm them up in an oven. Quaint small seating area we got ours to go! read more

Great service. Had the best tea in Galena during our stay. Busy place that serves sweets , sandwiches coffee's and alcohol.

If you pass by galena , you have to do breakfast, lunch and dinner to this place ! Best bakery, fresh croissant and the cocktails are amazing !!! read more

Delish but BUSY. This looks like it would be a great spot to stop in the afternoon and grab wine and pastries. We got a breakfast sandwich and an eclairs and latte. The sandwich was great, eclair not too sweet, latte just OK. Very cute vibe wish we could have stayed to dine in read more

Excellent food and service!! We can't wait to go back. The owners are very friendly, and gave great recommendations. Great outdoor seating area, beautiful indoor set up. Galena needed a place like this! read more

Had delicious quiche and pastries with a yummy decaf latte. Will definitely be back.

We recently went there for lunch. We both had the ramen soup. The broth was tasty, but the pork in it was very hard to eat and an odd texture. We wished they would have used authentic ramen noodles instead of fettucini and cooked the egg so it was not hard boiled. The waiter was awesome. We did like the pan de chocolat and the croissant we took with us. The ambiance is fun. read more

Great cheese plate followed up by great treats. Friendly staff led to a great evening.

My husband and I came to Galena for a weekend getaway and decided to stop for a little sweet treat. Pinky with Bread and Vine was such a delight. She was so helpful and sweet (just like the delicious treats). The pistachio cheesecake is amazing! The warmed up apple turnover delicious! The macarons where melt in your mouth! read more

Just ordered in the new pork ramen on their menu. $19 is steep for ramen, but worth it to me if it's really good. I was disappointed in the amount of broth I was given and unlike the photograph/description on the menu there were no eggs to put in...a significant part of any bowl of ramen. As the only ramen in town, I'd been looking forward to ordering so for me a disappointment. read more

Not my first time in Galena, but my first time at this wonderful café! I had a delicious ham and cheese crèpe. The service was efficient and friendly even though the café was packed. Modern, bright decor. read more

Bread & Vine - Ham and cheese crèpe. Fabulous! - French Near Me - Galena, Illinois

What a great restaurant! The food is phenomenal and what an incredible wine list! Wait staff was excellent. Too bad we're leaving otherwise we would have eaten here multiple times. Definitely a place to stop. And we didn't even have any pastries that looked amazing. Next time read more

Delicious food, excellent drinks, and delectable desserts. On top of that, it's a great deal! A perfect lunch or dinner stop, or just a place to grab a drink and dessert after dinner. A must visit in Galena and easily one of the best eateries in town. Our bartender Nash was especially fun and efficient. An easy 5 stars. read more

Awesome! Breakfast, lunch or dinner. So many excellent options that are all very good. Best stop in Galena for every meal and anything in between. read more

This always happens whete places are great when they first open then the quality goes down. We went to here the year it open and the service and food were great! We were there this weekend and I was very disappointed. I believe that customer service can make ir break a business. If you continue this way, you will be going g out if business. The girl at the register, absolutely the worst, has zero people skills. The food, well, not good. We were served old and cold food. Pre-made ok but not everyone likes every ingredient you out on food, you need to provide options. And the prices were absolutely ridiculous for what you are getting. Sadly, we won't be back. You need work in customer service as your top priority and the girl at the registered needs major training! You have a lot of competition and you need to reevaluate your business.​ read more

Awesome spot for food, drink, and fun. Come for the food and drink variety, stay for the incredible desserts. A must stop in Galena!

We ordered take out, and every item was delicious. The service was timely and friendly; though we did not stay to eat in the dining room, it was darling, and we would love to eat in next time. read more

What a wonderful new restaurant in Galena - easily my favorite place here! On our first visit, we tried a cheeseburger with fries, a Cuban sandwich and a salad. Everything was delicious and made with very high-quality ingredients (much different than almost all of the other Galena restaurants which seem to be using just industrial food ingredients). The bakery goods, desserts, cocktails, wines and coffee drinks all look great as well and so I will be back soon. Also very grateful that they allowed my dog to be with us in the outdoor dining area!! So glad to have this new place in town. read more

We had to come here twice and too bad I don't have the other photos! Fun stuff, great tacos! And wowwww the breads and sandwiches were divine! read more

This is a really cute place with a nice vibe. Food was good, creative cocktail list. The pastries pulled us in from the sidewalk. The service was a bit disconnected - our server, who also was making drinks, came back to our table to say "I can't make this drink, I tried a couple times. Do you want something else?" The people around us seemed to not be getting their food, or their orders were incorrect. Ordered: Croque Monsieur, Cuban Sandwich, Breakfast Omelette Sandwich, Empress Cocktail, Pomegranate Mojito. read more

Fabulous place! Loved that they take pride in their ingredient sourcing and just had the friendliest staff. Keep it up!

Best bakery I've been too in the US! Congratulations to Eric for his wonderful concept and execution of it. Fresh, delicious, top-shelf. read more

Bread & Vine - Burrata Salad - French Near Me - Galena, Illinois

Im not sure you can explain my surprise in happening upon this place in Galena! Great food and a cool vibe! It is miles above any other lunch place in Galena. Studio 54 radio made the whole experience! Not your typical Galena lunch place! read more

On a Saturday on a cold November afternoon this place was packed. So much fun and really good food. The Croque Monsieur was up to Paris standards, served fresh and hot. The pastries are incredible. The French bistro tables and chairs were perfect. It didn't matter how crowded it got, how fast those tables turned, or how many extra people tried to wedge themselves into a tiny spot, the staff kept up with the crowd and made sure you had everything you needed or requested. A great place to treat yourself. read more

This place is too cute! Great friendly service! Shout out to our server, Lochlan. They have phenomenal fun food! My Tuna Poke (on special) was so refreshing and tasty. My husband had the French hotdog that was so deliciously satisfying! We were too full to try the amazing looking desserts, but that will definitely be on our list on our next trip! read more

Great place. Stopped in for a snack and was happy I did. Wife and I split a sandwich. Fresh, tasty, on ok/good bread. Worth the price. Service was good once they stopped chatting with each other. read more

A wonderful addition to Main Street! We stopped in for some morning pastries and frankly I was a little disappointed we didN't have breakfast there. The almond roll was great as were the macarons. Whether you want breakfast, lunch or to satisfy your sweet tooth after dinner, swing by Bread and Vine. Maybe a coffee or cocktail will top it off. read more

This place was a gem. Service was fantastic, food was excellent - do not miss out on eating there in Galena.

Great addition to the Main Street scene in Galena. The al fresco dining is fantastic, the staff is beyond friendly and welcoming and the food and pastries are fantastic. Great wine by the glass list too. read more

I like the concept, and the pastries look beautiful, but the nutella eclair is not good to the point that I almost questioned if a spoiled ingredient had been used in it. I don't generally leave reviews, but after seeing a google reviewer's comment on the same menu item it seems there may be an issue with the recipe itself and it was not a one-off situation. One more thing, which has nothing to do with the quality of the food, but I'm unimpressed with the unprofessional manner in which the business owner responds to any negative reviews. I imagine the other menu items are much better, and others seemed to be enjoying their dishes - just avoid the nutella eclair! Update: the owner sent a private message blaming me for ruining their hard work attaining a high rating. Again, I'm not typically reviewer and in all honesty, a bad eclair is a small, small thing in the grand scheme of things. If I hadn't seen another review on google stating the same thing, I would have chalked it up to my personal taste and moved on without saying anything. What bothered me the most (and ultimately convinced me to leave my own review) is the way the owner responds to these reviews - that is, in an uncivil and rude way, and the world doesn't need more of that. The world needs good nutella eclairs. Please be better. read more

Lovely espresso and lobster bisques, split a bucket of creamy prince Ed mussels and nice fries. Had to get some bread to enjoy the rest of the sauce. read more

Visited Galena and had my first macarons here. The amaretto and cinnamon ones were AMAZING!

On a recent trip to Galena, Illinois with my 3 sister-in-laws and my mother-in-law, we ate at Bread & Vine on Main Street. It was a short walk from our airbnb and offered a diverse menu, various wines/drinks and lovely desserts. We were not disappointed! We all had the tasty and refreshing Pomegranate Mojito to start. Then we ordered the charcuterie board which had a variety of cured meats and some nuts with a nice spicy pepper jam. Two of us ordered the Poke' bowl that was filled with delicious fresh ahi tuna-which I had to share because it was so filling. We also had the goat cheese and pear salad and the goat cheese & honey pizette (pizza). Everything was outstanding! Portions were generous, served fresh and appealing to the eye and taste buds. But the best is yet to come! They have over 15 different desserts to choose from! I had the apple tart-kind of a tall apple pie-that hit the spot. Others had the flourless chocolate cake, lemon merengue tart and the triple chocolate mousse. Nothing but high praise from everyone. In fact, I am returning in the morning to try a breakfast sandwich and get some triple choc mousse to take home. Our server was attentive and prompt (and the only one!) when we arrived at 6:30 to a pretty empty space. They did get busy after 7 with couples sitting down and families coming in to order desserts at the counter service. 5 of us had 4 mojitos, 4 entrees and an appetizer with a total under $150. (Someone else picked up the dessert tab). Very reasonable in this current economy-and well worth it because everything was delicious! Highly recommend! read more

Holy cheese and bechamel! We got the Croque Monsieur and the Frankfurter and wow....they were both buried under a shield of cheese and sauce. Mind you the cheese and sauce tasted good, it's just that it completely overwhelmed and buried everything else. If they only kept 1/3 of the cheese and sauce it would be WAY better. read more
