Best Crêpes Bretonnes in Toronto

“Buckwheat, butter, and a lacy-crisp edge. Brittany's galette is the savoury crepe with a spine.”

Crêpes Bretonnes

What the real thing tastes like

The Breton galette is buckwheat — nutty, earthy, naturally gluten-free — spread paper-thin on a bilig griddle until the edges go lacy and crisp, then folded around ham, gruyère, and an egg with a standing yolk: the complète. Served with cider in ceramic bowls, by law of custom if not of state. The sweet wheat crêpe is its gentler sibling, not its equal.

The crisp lace edge and the intact sun of yolk are the two details every review inspects. Buckwheat's earthiness converts those who thought crepes were dessert, and the cider-bowl pairing is reported as non-negotiable by anyone who has eaten one in Brittany.
