Breizh Café

Top choice in Le Marais, Ménilmontant & Belleville


Everything at the Breizh (‘Breton’ in Breton) is 100% authentic, including its organic-flour crêpes and galettes (savoury buckwheat crêpes) that top many Parisians' lists for the best in the city. Other specialities include Cancale oysters (€18.50 for half a dozen) and 20 types of cider. Tables are limited and there's often a wait; book ahead or try its deli, L'Épicerie, next door.
