Breizh Cafe

After reading that the Breizh Cafe is the best place for buckwheat crepes in Paris, I decided to try it for myself. I arrived at 1pm with a friend to find the small cafe full. We had to wait 20 minutes before getting a table and then quite a while longer before getting our crepes. I think they forgot about our order

While waiting for the crepes to arrive, I got drunk on delicious apple cider from Brittany. Great!

Most of the crepes on the menu have ham or bacon (which I don’t eat) so I ordered one of the few without it. I was a bit disappointed when my crepe arrived and it had 4 or 5 big rashers of bacon on it. I’ll have to check what I ordered next time I go there because I’m sure that wasn’t supposed to be there. Anyway, my friend happily enjoyed the extra protein and I enjoyed the rest of my crepe.

I’ve always loved the sweet crepes you can buy on the street here in Paris. It’s great when you’re out exploring the city to stop and have a quick crepe au sucre. This was the first time I’ve ever had a savoury crepe, at least a proper buckwheat crepe, and it was delicious. I’ll definitely be going again and I’ll be sure to have a sweet crepe for dessert next time.
