Balade en Crepanie - Vannes

Vannes does not lack good crêperies, with many using organic and/or local products. But Balade en Crépanie, in the medieval quarter of town, is in a league of its own, with delicious, creative fillings like a red lentil coconut puree (great for vegetarians wanting a bit of non cheese protein), top of the line local products, and a great atmosphere. Being vegetarian, I can only speak to that side of the menu: the vegetables of the moment go off the beaten track (e.g., carrot purée à l 'orange). Many of the dessert crepes feature local organic products, but the prize goes to the heavenly spiced prune compote, made in house. The place fills up with locals, often en famille, so reservations are recommended. Apparently this gem of a restaurant will be changing hands soon yikes! But if I understood correctly, the owners – two hard working sisters – included their recipes in the deal, so fingers crossed, for both the food and the atmosphere.

One of the most visited restaurant to eat a good galette or a crepe; many choice on the card, all what you want; friendly service in a good ambiance.

I wanted to go there for a famous Galette from Brittany. I called them to know wether they were still open at 9:00pm on a Friday nite. The person who took my call showed a perfect lack of education telling me “we’re sold out” and slammed the phone abruptly

Made very welcome, and had very tasty galette and crepe. Taking into account poor ex rate, I found it a little expensive.

Excellent galettes and friendly service. Good location to find. Also local people came to eat same dishes.
