I have adored TGG in Braselton, and have eaten there many times when I was in the mood for a rare treat with great atmosphere. It's a good spot for date night, or a special occasion, or just when you want a properly- and artfully-prepared crepe and coffee. Their new location in Dacula is a bit further from home for me, but it is worth the drive - and longer. They have an expanded menu featuring a variety of French classics. They still do offer galette and crepe menu items. This new location also features bar service, and their menu has a short list of specialty cocktails and TGG versions of standard mixes. Amuse Bouche: a fresh watermelon gazpacho (served in a shooter) with a tiny crispy wafer topped with Gruyère and apple preserve. Wild! I ordered the Boeuf Bourguignon. One of our party ordered the Sea Bass and another went light and ordered a selection of appetizers. They reported excellent preparation and flavors. Mine was extremely well prepared, rich and full flavored. The dishes were presented like works of art. It was the luck of the day that beams of setting sunlight shone through the curtains and illuminated our meals just as they were placed on the table. The spiraled lemon on the crab cake caught sun like a stained glass window. The beef arrangement on my side looked like a tiny forest, with tender boulders of mushrooms and meat, fallen trees of carrots, a little shrub of Swiss chard, and a sapling sprig of fresh rosemary. But for real - artistic musings aside, this was some damn good food. I thoroughly enjoyed the main course, and of course, I had to get a crepe for dessert. Tout de Chocolat was such a perfect finish, with freshly toasted almonds and warm buttery caramel to offset wave after wave of chocolate flavors. I always love the atmosphere they create. The owner was in the house and she is always such a delight to encounter. The Galloping Galette should be on your short list for great restaurant experiences in Gwinnett County. read more

So wanted to give it a 5 star... The building is interesting and a bank back in the day. Seated right away, by bubbly host/waitress. No reservations on a Saturday night at 5. Got in right away, might say something. Ordered a margarita and beer and put in knowing we wanted escargot and got our drinks. My was not drinkable with too much lime juice. The waitress took care of the drink and I ordered a tequila pineapple juice. Perfect. Shaken not stirred. The amouse bush was delicious and a great start. Waited a long time between courses IMHO. Did get the French onion soup which was actually very good. Just needed a pinch of salt Ordered the scallops and the duck special. Very rich but so flavorful and want you coming back for more. Unami bomb. The duck side was this unchcous polenta that ate more like a pudding. The finishing touch was the pear crepe with whipped cream, ice cream and chocolate sauce. We will be back and I want to see if we can them to a 5 read more

Such a cute little French restaurant in the Dacula area! My parents brought me here for dinner on a Friday night. The staff were very friendly and checked on our table several times. They are known for their Galette which is basically a savory crepe with toppings. We all tried a different galette and my favorite was the scallop one! They were a good portion and we all ended up taking left overs home after. They had a couple options not on a galette that I would want to come back and try! read more

We were greeted and seated. Both Vivianne and Yannick stopped by our table to check on our experience. It was an excellent meal. We started with a tasting of brisket on toast with a carrot soup. I also enjoyed the chicken curry on gallette and it was delicious. The portions are generous and the gallette a nice addition to the dish. My wife enjoyed salmon on rice and asparagus. The entire experience was a delight. Nice place with a quiet atmosphere and the bar is also well rounded. Taylor our server took great care in serving. This was our first visit and we will return. read more

Saw a dinner event for this new restaurant on Facebook, and decided to eat here for my birthday dinner with the girls while visiting the Atlanta area. It's located in Dacula, which is over 30 miles NE of ATL. Well worth the drive... Upon entering, Viviane (one of the owners) greeted us with her sweet French accent behind the hostess stand. She promptly seated us and handed us the menus. I was grateful the menus were simple and not overwhelming. The ambiance and comfortability of the restaurant was romantic and tastefully decorated. All the wait staff were very attentive and polite. All items came out quickly, nicely presented, and perfectly prepared. I started with a Honey Lavender Latte. Literally perfect. Of course I tried the French Onion Soup in a French restaurant! Very nice, although I usually prefer a little more bread & cheese and a bit less pepper. I tried a bite of the Salmon Pinwheels and they were light and flavorful. For my entree, I chose the Beef Bourguignon. It was like a beef stew with veggies on a bed of mashed potatoes. Very good! It is red wine heavy, but was just the perfect type of comfort food I wanted. The others wanted to try the galette entrees (one Bolognese and one Dolmen beef) and they were divine. Perfectly prepared and tender meat. Very tasty and interesting since it was my first time trying galettes. We all ended up saving half of our entrees so we could try out their dessert crepes. Chef's kiss! Viviane even serenaded me with a soft birthday song she sang in French. I highly recommend trying this unique place out if ever in the area. It is truly a noteworthy dining experience that I would love to have again. read more

I went last evening and thoroughly enjoyed this spot. The owner is French and she greeted us, my sister and I, warmly and kindly. So sweet! I had the latte with no flavor, it's was smooth with a stunning froth! Heck I'll gonna back again just for the latte lol. I ordered the French onion soup, and my sister ordered the special, Hailbut with asparagus. The portion was huge and it was incredible. I also got the steak galette cooked medium rare, it was delicious and the ratatouille was my favorite part. I'll be going back. The ambiance was lightly lit and lovely. read more

I love this place so much, and Vivienne, the owner, is an absolute gem. I've been to the brunch location a lot and recently came here for dinner with my husband. PERFECT spot for a nice date night or anniversary! The food and service are top tier! read more

Hidden gem. Food and drinks were delicious. We went on a Tuesday evening before July 4th. The decor and ambiance were just what we needed for a mid week date night. The owner was gracious and friendly. This was our first experience with French cuisine, so we were pleasantly surprised by how well our server's recommendations turned out. Definitely returning. read more

Short version: I would strongly encourage anybody to come here IMMEDIATELY. What a beautiful hidden gem. Absolutely incredible service and when you think that can't be topped, the food is even more incredible. Detailed version: From the moment you step over the threshold of the door, you are embraced into Viviane + family's world. From the genuine greeting to the charming atmosphere, the aromatics filling the space, all the way to the gentle background sound of various degrees of music playing. The attention to detail is wildly impressive yet approachable. The taste and quality of food is not easily achieved. Great portioning. Not dainty. Not heavy. Enough to leave with a full tummy and an even fuller dose of joy to your soul. You can tell each person that works here wants to be here. They feel personally invested rather than just a job for the sake of it. They can THROW DOWN on an espresso martini. Absolutely delicious I had mine decaf but don't let that fool you, it packed a sneaky punch. The only "negative" I experienced is laughable at best and that is solely that I think their restroom mirror is hilariously small and perhaps hung by a taller person but if my vanity is the only downside at an incredible restaurant - again, laughable. Come for the experience, stay for the journey. TGG Dacula has, without a single question, gained a very loyal follower. I wish nothing but incredible things for this family, the business, the community. We need this addition in our neighborhood as we continue to flourish. Truly blessed and grateful for this to be in my own "backyard" but would be worth the drive wherever you are coming from. read more

This is a Must-Go-To restaurant. Please go to this new French restaurant in downtown historic Dacula! We need privately owned, fabulous restaurants like this in the area. It has a selective but deeply French inspired menu that fits everyone's tastes and very generous portions for the price. I went here to celebrate my birthday with my family and what an amazing experience! I highly recommend The Galloping Galette not only for their service but also for the food, the atmosphere and the attention-to-detail. It was our first time here and I had the Lakeside cocktail which was very smooth without being overpowering. Everyone who tasted it also loved it. We had the salmon roll and the mussels for appetizers. My husband had the French onion soup that he said he would come back here just to have the soup, it was so good. For entrees, we had beef strips, scallops, the 1" thick pork chop special with sweet potatoes that was like a perfect soufflé, and flavorful collard greens, which I typically don't like but these were very good. I can't remember the name of the other entree, but it was like a beef roast over mashed potatoes. I'm totally butchering the names of these entrees. The menu is in French with descriptions in English. We had the dessert with bananas, the dessert with exotic fruits and the dessert with chocolate. Everything was excellent in taste, texture, timeliness and presentation. Viviane, who was the owner and explained that she and the food were from the northern part of France, I believe, sang happy birthday in French! She came to the table a few times to check on us and the servers were on the spot with meeting our requests and needs. read more

The Galloping Galette in Dacula opened its doors just about a month ago. If you are familiar with the culinary jewel called The Galloping Galette in Braselton, you already know this is a place worth its patronage. TGG -as it is lovingly called - sets the standard for crepes and galettes in Northeast Georgia. Its owner and hosts Yannick and Viviane brings the French expertise in both flavors and hospitality to offer their guests an experience only TGG can offer. I can speak for many when I say that once you have had a TGG crepe, there is no going back to other inferior copies. We have visited with TGG in Braselton for years now and was excited to finally step foot in TGG in Dacula. It did not disappoint. We went one surprisingly cold evening, and were embraced in a warm hug that is the simple, yet elegant dining space. There was a cozy alcove for customers who might need to wait for their table, but since we called to make a reservation before we came, we did not have to wait at all. All of our appetizers were top-notch. Our party had the French Onion Soup, the salad, and the Quiche. We have had many French Onion soups before, but theirs was the best. I will never know what ingredients made it as divine as it was, but really, you just sit there and enjoy it all. The Quiche holds its own, the crust crumbles, while the egg filling satisfies in both its silky softness and its blend of salty sweetness. They also managed to elevate the salad with toasted nuts and their very own house-made dressing. Our main courses were superb! The Galette Bolognese unified meat, tomato and herbs in a blend that sings in your palate. We were happily surprised with the Galette with beef medallions - good meat and a sear perfect for its size. The salmon that I had was the best in my opinion - the galette layered with cheese was the perfect pair for the bed of greens and the expertly grilled salmon, flaky and flavorful. We initially planned to cap the meal with crepes for dessert, but alas we were too full to order any more tonight. So we will definitely be back, for date nights, celebrations, visiting guests, and just about any other excuse we can come up with to savor what is undeniably among the best tastes that Dacula has to offer. read more

A hidden gem in downtown Dacula! We came in on a Friday evening for a date night, the atmosphere was great, the host was very nice and we were seated right away, they weren't very busy since they're new and not too many people know about. For an appetizer we tried the French onion soup and they also served us with some cute little plates compliments of the chef! Everything tasted freshly cooked and full of flavor. My better half ordered the Scallops Gallette, which was very filling, I ended up helping her, and I ordered the Boeuf Bourguignon! The flavors were rich and we were treated to an authentic French cousine. We also had desert and it did not disappoint, we opted for the almond caramel crepes with vanilla ice cream, the almonds were roasted and they complimented the vanilla rich flavor very good! I feel like we don't deserve this is Dacula, most of the time we have to travel far to get something exquisite for dinner! The owners are very involved in the process and they came to great us and chat a little bit! Great atmosphere, thank you for your great food Will definitely follow up to try the ratatouille! read more

We recently met friends for dinner at the newly opened Galloping Galette in Dacula, across the street from Dacula High School. We were kindly greeted by Viviane at the host table as we walked in the door. She was delightful and took us to a nice table with a window view. The decor in the restaurant is so nice. Most of the tables were full but it was still a quiet and nice vibe. The menu is just the right size- not too much to get confused by. We did not order an appetizer, only drinks and an entree. Our server was very good, and took care of us well. The kitchen sent us a complementary shot glass of hot chicken broth to get our palate ready for dinner! They also sent a tart of some sort. Both were good and a nice way to begin! We ordered the Beef Borgnine which was incredibly flavorful, especially over the mashed potatoes. No need to waste a drop of that incredible reduction sauce! We also ordered the salmon, and the evening special New York Strip. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted wonderful! We really enjoyed everything! We especially enjoyed hearing of the history behind the building from Viviane and her husband when he came around to check on us. We also liked that we could carry on a conversation with our friends and were able to hear each other. So many restaurants these days have such a high sound wave which can make it difficult to talk with friends, but we did not experience that at TGG at all. We finished off our meal with a caramel and almond crepe with ice cream! Yum! Give this place a try! We look forward to visiting again! read more

This French epicurean restaurant is hosted in historic Dacula. Bare antique brick walls with dim contemporary lighting and seating set a romantic atmosphere. We know the owners as we are also patrons of Galloping Galette Braselton. Hospitality, prompt service and exquisite French inspired culinary dishes are served with perfection. Tonight, smoked salmon with cream cheese pinwheel appetizers were served. My husband's entree was sea bass served over vegetables and risotta. I ordered the vegetarian buckwheat galette. The French press coffee is smooth and rich. We encourage you to visit this new restaurant. The owners work very diligently. read more

Had dinner here with friends. it was a superb experience. The owner's wife greeted and seated us. The staff were very friendly and attentive.

The scallops were very good, but the beef galette was extraordinary. We will take friends and family there at every opportunity, read more
