Petite crêperie familiale où l’on vous sert des crêpes simples et savoureuses ! Les prix sont tout à fait honnêtes et il y a une grandes variété de crêpes & galettes. Le service est rapide comme il faut et le personnel de bon conseil et souriant.

Einfach wunderbar! Die Galette waren beide ein Gedicht und die Crêpes so gut, dass ich einen zweiten für mich bestellen MUSSTE Der Service ebenfalls sehr gut. Freundlich, zuvorkommend und gut gelaunt. Klare Empfehlung unsererseits. Wir kommen beim nächsten Urlaub wieder!

Nous sommes arrivés assez tard, à seulement 20 minutes de la fermeture, et avons pourtant été accueillis avec beaucoup de gentillesse. Le repas était excellent, si bien que nous avons tous commandé une crêpe en dessert. Service chaleureux et cuisine de grande qualité ! Une adresse que je recommande vivement – nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

A lovely little gem offering both "normal" crêpes and savoury galettes (buckwheat crêpes). Very friendly service, wide range of flavours including Normandy specials (e.g. crêpes with apples, flambées with Calvados apple spirit). Cute interior. And dogs are allowed!!! :)

Hier gibt es ausgezeichnete Crêpes und Galette. Wir hatten Galette Speciale Râtelier und Galette Speziale Floh als Haupggericht und Crêpes Helene und crêpes flambées Normandie als Nachspeise. Alles war ausgezeichnet. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und wir wurden trotz sprachlicher Barrieren (wir sprechen nur schlecht französisch) sehr gut beraten. Die Einrichtung ist angenehm und modern und wir können die Crêperie ohne Einschränkungen weiteremüfehlen.

Small indoor creperie. Gallete complete. Crispy and buttery with a hint of salt. Delicious. Extremely great value. Lovely polite staff.

The best crêpes and galettes. Buttery and crispy around the edges. We have been going to Coutance especially to eat there. Very small. Best book.
