Breizh Café, A Gastronomic Adventure Between France and Japan

Originating from Brittany, pancakes and galettes have won the hearts of foodies across France and now also in Japan. Having opened in Cancale and then in Saint-Malo, Paris and Japan with no less than nine addresses including five in Tokyo alone, the creperie chain Breizh Café owes its success to local ingredients selected with care, offering a relaxed experience.

Designed by Bertrand Larcher in 1995, this creperie offers a connection between Brittany, its place of origin, and Japan, its chosen home. Breizh Café straddles the two countries at the core of its restaurants where both cider cellars and sake cellars are on hand to quench thirsts and stomachs are filled with Breizh Rolls, 100% buckwheat pancakes cut and served like maki and a selection of pancake ‘alternatives’, including a desert with sweetened Okinawa black butter and matcha ice cream.

Perpetually evolving and improving its culinary persuits, Breizh Café de Cancale has now opened a new space dedicated to the Japanese gourmet experience, named La Table de Breizh Café. Behind the stoves of the open kitchen, chef Fumio Kudaka, from Hokkaido, is on hand to share Japanese flavors with both Bretons and tourists.
