Each Breizh Café location is an embassy for the tastes and flavors that shaped my childhood in Fougères, Brittany. Serendipity led me to discover Japanese culture. My mother's cooking and that of my adopted country shared similarities: Brittany loves buckwheat, and so does Japan, in different forms.

BREIZH CAFÉ, 30 YEARS OF BRETON AND ARTISANAL EXPERTISE
At Breizh Café we strive every day to develop sustainable, local, organic farming. We treat our resources with care and we promote Brittany's agricultural life, from the soil to the plate.
"The butter is so generous that it amplifies the taste of the ham, comté and buckwheat, and immediately registers in the memory.
"Launched by Bertrand Larcher, a Breton who lived in Japan, Breizh Café is not your average crêperie. What makes it different from the average crêperie in Paris? Extremely high-quality, super-sourced products.
"Bertrand Larcher feeds his krampouz with the cream of the local crop: organic Breton buckwheat, Bordier butter, Label Rouge salmon, free-range eggs...
Result? Competitive galettes!
'S ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS
-
Our galettes are made from 100% organic, IGP-certified buckwheat flour from Brittany, which is certified gluten-free and stone-ground for nine hours at the Moulin de la Fatigue in Vitré. This artisanal craftsmanship brings out the full aromatic richness of the buckwheat and carries on a Breton milling tradition.
The Moulin de la Fatigue has also been awarded the “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant” designation, a government recognition that honors excellence in artisanal and industrial craftsmanship.
-
The story of Breizh Café has been unfolding between Brittany and Japan since 1996, when Bertrand Larcher, its Breton founder, opened his first crêperie in the Kagurazaka neighborhood of Tokyo. This encounter has since shaped our vision of “crêpes with a twist”: Breton regional products combined with Japanese ingredients and inspirations, such as yuzu, matcha, and seaweed. It’s a dialogue between two cultures that share a respect for the product, a passion for craftsmanship, and a keen eye for detail.

No, not everything on our menu is gluten-free. Our buckwheat pancakes are made with gluten-free buckwheat flour. Our wheat pancakes, however, contain gluten, as do some of our toppings and preparations. Our kitchens handle ingredients that contain gluten, so cross-contamination is possible. We cannot guarantee that the dishes we serve are gluten-free.
-
Yes, our menu includes vegetarian options. Check the menu at the restaurant of your choice to see which galettes are available and their toppings. Our staff can also provide you with information about their ingredients.

At Breizh Café, our galettes are made with buckwheat flour—also known as “black wheat”—and are typically filled with savory toppings. Despite its nickname, buckwheat is not wheat and is naturally gluten-free.
Our crêpes are made with wheat flour and come in a variety of sweet flavors. They therefore contain gluten.
-
