I love the bright blue napkins on the light brown paper placemats on the tables outside, which give the place a fun, light-hearted feel. Serving food all day (not just the limited lunch and dinner hours), this is a good place to go for galettes (savory crepes made with buckwheat flour) as well as tartines, although I was more focused on galettes and crepes, which are some of my favorite foods from France.
They offer a relatively extensive list of galettes, from the regular egg, cheese and ham filled ones, to the more inventive ones such as the indian or danish galettes, or one filled with foie gras and duck, or the one I chose, the ch'ti, with regional ingredients such as the deliciously pungent maroilles cheese, endives, and ham.
My galette was delicious! Although I wouldn't necessarily call it a buckwheat galette (it looked like a regular crepe made with brown flour, and didn't have the texture that galettes usually have), the flavors were wonderful. There was a nice balance of sweet, salty, and bitter from the cheese and ham, and the caramelized endive. There was something about the flavor combination that was reminiscent of chocolate, at least to me. Sounds wierd, but I really enjoyed it.
They also have some dessert crepes, such as one with salted butter caramel (my favorite!), and a short list of wines and cider to go with your meal.
Service is quick and extremely friendly. The gentleman who served me was very nice and almost sang his words when he spoke to me.
This is also a pretty good place to dine by yourself, if you're travelling alone the way I do whenever I'm in town. I'll be back during my next trip! read more
