Galettes de sarrasin
Galettes de sarrasin are a Breton delicacy – similar to the regular crepes we know and love, but made with a mix of buckwheat and regular flour. This makes the crepes heartier, and gives them a nutty taste that pairs well with all kinds of toppings, ranging from simple butter and lemon to roasted veggies, meat, or cheese. The most popular is a single, runny-yoked egg.
Traditionally, these are served with a small mug of locally made cider. There are creperies all around Brittany that specialize in galettes de sarrasin, but try L’Hermine in Morlaix, or Kreiz Kastell in Saint-Pol-de-Léon for some of the area’s best.
