Whether you fancy something sweet, savoury or totally unique,you’ll go away sated and hankeringfor a second, or even third. For the ideal evening out, team your concerto of crêpes with some traditional cider and follow them up with a drink at one of the city’s best bars.

  • price 1 of 4

With its modern interior of pale wood and choice of 15 artisanal ciders, this outpost of a restaurant in Cancale, Brittany, is a world away from the average crêperie. All ingredients are ofextremely high quality – think things likeGuéméné andouille sausage, andseaweed and yuzu Bordier butter. Book ahead.

2.Tanguy

A room completely stripped back, serving up classic recipes and quality products. That's Gwilherm Tanguy’s style. If you're lucky you'll find the smoky andouille (sausage) and organic Priziac tome (a French soft cheese), or the simple yet super crispy one with butter (salted, obviously). Oh, and just so you know, it’s not called a galette at Tanguy, it’s abuckwheat crepe.

3.La Galetterie

La Galetterie is tucked away in the 15th arrondissem*nt; a half-ironic, half-serious announcement for this creperie whose menu quietly puts in the effort and sources its products well. Organic buckwheat flour, AOC cheeses, smoked fish from Brittany and unique, hearty galettes that are above all, delicious. Make sure to wash it down with an artisanal cider.

Krügen issimple and uncluttered, allowing you to focus on what’s on your plate – most likely a breton classic like acrêpe complèteor a galette with sausage. Try a kouignamann pastry for dessert and, before you leave, make sure to check out the grocery section to stock up on cider and biscuits.

5.Flour

This little canteen with its moldings and tiles in the 10th arrondissem*nt plays things cleverly on three fronts. Clémentine Garret indeed offers three types of galettes to wrap around her homemade fillings: Indian, Levantine, or Breton. It’s up to you to decide where you prefer the slider between crispy and soft. And in the middle? Roasted and marinated veggies, seasonal raw ones and a load ofspices. And definitely make sure to try one of Flour’s dessert crêpes, like the ‘scrambled’ with caramel.

6.Brutus

Quite frankly, it’s worth coming to this address for the 25-strong cider list alone… andthen again at night forits eccentric cider-based co*cktails.But with its swish, stripped-back décor, exemplary service and – most importantly – a wonderfully inventive crêpe menu packed with fresh French ingredients, you’d do well tosavouryour time (and try it all) at Brutus. TryThe Jeanine, with a panful of andouille from Vire, emmental potato, mustard,andcider and onion confit.

Siblings and ownersMarie and Jérémie come from Saint-Malo, and it’s pretty clear they know their stuff. The menu has around 20 galettes and crêpes to choose from, savoury and sweet, and all are made with organic buckwheat. Order the galette with andouille, then the chocolate and salted buttercrêpefor dessert, washed down with Sorre cider.

8.Sâj, la galette libanaise

At Sâj, a room with green checkered tiles and floral patterns, chef Adam Geaam (Michelin-starred, might we add), offers sajs, a wheat galette from Lebanon. Made fresh and folded in half, the saj is crispy on the edges, dense in the middle, and accompanied by pickled vegetables, halloumi, and sujuk (spicy dry sausage) or labneh and pastirma (cousin of pastrami). Perfect for a Chandeleur (French Candlemas) slightly further east than Brest.

The federation is clear: Turkish wheat galettes are perfectly valid for Chandeleur. No need to resist the temptation, so let's head straight to this Kurdish canteen. Alongside the embers where the grill master works, we load up our dürüm with a skewer of lamb, tomatoes, red onions, arugula, parsley, and lettuce. No fries, mayo, or harissa: it’s to be savored as it is, plain and simple.
