Breizh Cafe

This is the place that made the pancake gourmet

Named Breizh after the Breton for Brittany, this is the place that made the pancake gourmet, and although not particularly budget as crêperies go, it’s streets ahead of the competition in terms of quality. While crêperies are often dismissed as restaurants for children, here the setting is distressed beach hut and the clientele fashionable Marais. The choice of savoury galettes and sweet crêpes ranges from classic complète (egg, cheese and ham) to imaginative creations. A taste of authentic Brittany (with a sibling in Cancale), many ingredients are proudly sourced from Brittany, from organic buckwheat to Breizh Cola. Accompany your galette with cider – there’s a list of almost twenty types.
