Who can go past crepes?  Savoury galletes or sweet crepes, they are everyone’s favourite.

Often the simplest ingredients bring together a beautiful harmony of flavours in your mouth.

Voliere and Berger Galettes

 

Originating from Brittany, crepes and ciders are now synonymous with the “little” town in France across the channel from the UK.  It shares more than the channel with the UK, it also has a celtic history.

Back to crepes – all of you who have been yearning for gluten free (galettes are as they are made from buckwheat), dairy free and egg free REJOICE!  Le Petit Francais can make you one with a moments notice, though 24 hours notice is best (a better galette with the overnight rest).

Spoilt for choice between a basic vegetarian one, to the chicken curry and gruyere cheese (Voliere) or the hamburger (Pink Panther anyone?) – you may take much longer to decide than to devour one!
