No trip to Brittany without a crêperie
Sponsored Content
Anyone traveling to Brittany can’t miss stopping by a crêperie. It’s as much a part of daily life here as the morning trip to the bakery, only with galettes and crêpes instead of baguettes. And luckily so, because these specialties are loved by both kids and adults alike.
A taste of Brittany on the plate
If Brittany has a national dish, it’s definitely crêpes and galettes. The sweet crêpe is made from light wheat flour, paper-thin and filled with everything deliciously sweet: apple, chocolate, or simply cinnamon and sugar. Its savory sister, the galette, is more rustic—traditionally made from buckwheat flour, slightly brown, with a nutty flavor. In Brittany, they’re part of the culture, something you simply have to try.
A visit to Crêperie La Petite Longère
At Place du Calvaire in the charming Saint-Énogat district lies Crêperie La Petite Longère. Sitting down here means diving straight into the true spirit of Brittany. The atmosphere is warm and easygoing, the checkered tablecloths add a touch of tradition, and the typical cider cups are already waiting on the tables. The menu features so many kinds of crêpes and galettes that you’ll want to try them all. One of the highlights is getting to watch as the crêpes and galettes are made right on the hot griddle. With practiced movements, the batter is spread, flipped, and filled. And the service makes the experience even better: the staff aren’t just attentive but genuinely friendly, creating that wonderful feeling of being a regular from the very first visit.
Families welcome
What makes this place so special? Children feel just as welcome here as adults do. While we leisurely order the next galette, the kids are happily absorbed in a throwing game set up on the terrace. And honestly, by the time dessert comes around with a chocolate crêpe, there’s simply no way not to fall in love with Brittany.
Summer evenings under lanterns
If you manage to stop by in the evening, you’ll see the terrace at its most magical. Sheltered from the street, glowing with colorful lanterns, and filled with the scent of freshly baked galettes, it’s a little slice of Brittany you won’t soon forget.
