Amazing crêperie with all kinds of flavour. We would recommend the ham/cheese galette as well as the salmon galette. The banana caramel crepe was also a hit. The ciders were worth a try too.

Informed, attentive, and friendly staff (who speak perfect English), great oysters, and great drinks. The nice thing is that they are open all day on Saturday and Sunday. It is a very small, tight space so let go of your personal space issues and just enjoy the fun of it all. Be sure to make reservations or enjoy dining at the bar
