Breizh Cafe
109, rue Vieille du Temple (3rd)I realize it's taken me a while to post something and I apologize to anyone--if there is anyone--who has been expecting something new to read. The internet that I had in Paris was awful but I am now back in Taiwan so eventually I will have all my pictures of Parisian food up!
Before my discovery of Breizh Cafe up in the Marais, I had been slightly disappointed by the crepes and galettes I had--some were slightly soggy and lacking the thinness I craved. Not anymore.
The fact that the owner's wife is Japanese is blatantly evident in the simple presentation of the food and the spartan decorations in the cafe--both of which I love. The food was not overdone--just the freshest oysters and a perfect galette.
These oysters were AMAZING--definitely the best I had in Paris. I LOVE how they were presented on a plain black slate with a line of sea salt.
The thing buckwheat galette with delicious melted Gruyere cheese, ham, runny egg, and artichokes was even better with a cup of brut cider on the side. I wish I could eat one right now.
I need to be back to Paris! Sadly, when I went back a week later for my dessert crepe, they were already gone for their summer break. Next time I'm in Paris, this is definitely one of the first food stops I'm making.
too bad Mamm Goz is closed. they served pretty tasty galettes and crepes like the one in your pic and was the only place in Taipei that did. there is a new crepe place near NYNY but i don't think it's as authentic
