Cafe Breizh (“Breton Café”) is a favourite of ours when in Paris. Most people are familiar with wheat flour crepes, but the buckwheat used in Brittany is delicious. If you have the opportunity, have a galette at a creperie in Brittany. Unforgettable.

Oh my!

Was your galette “meal enough” for you, MM? :)

@EJ, I wonder if they were normal (wheat flour) crêpes filled with trimmings for salad Niçoise or they were socca, the genuine Niçoise baked crêpes made from chickpea flour batter that are eaten as is out of the oven or brazier (if you were out in the street or open market), sans topping as additional enticement.

In the 50’s one of my aunts attended a course at Pat Limjuco Dayrit’s Le Cordon Bleu Manille cooking school where she learned to make crepes Niçoise. These savoury crepes are stuffed with a cooked mixture of, among others, chicken, ham and mushrooms, and then topped with grated cheese. These crepes are very delicious and a firm family favourite. Try them the next time you are in France.

There are 2 crepe stands I tend to revisit when I’m traveling. One is a small crepe stand in one of the side streets from Notre Dame. The other is in the Harajuku area of Tokyo. Like Mrs MM, I tend to gravitate towards sweet crepes too.
Wow, I’d love to try the last crepe on the menu. Leeks, scallops, cream and seaweed butter? Yes please!

We had crepes at Little Breizh in the St. Germain neighborhood. We each had the set meal of 1 savory crepe + 1 sweet crepe + drink for 14 euros (we were beyond stuffed). Inexpensive and unforgettable meal.

Palette rhymes with galette but did you mean palate instead?
