Breizh Café

Top choice in Montmartre & Northern Paris


Be it a simple sweet crêpe smeared with melted hand-churned Breton butter, galette (savoury pancake) stuffed with smoked duck breast, pan-fried mushrooms, Comte cheese, egg and cream, or a St-Malo seaweed-and-egg-filled crêpe roll, the Batignolles outpost of France's roaringly popular Breton crêperie does not disappoint. In winter snuggle up in a navy-blue-and-racing-green plaid on the pavement terrace.
