I promised Jodi that, as we were in France, we would go to a Crêperie to eat a crêpe. We ended up at Le petit Josselin, located rue de Montparnasse. This street is quite interesting as it is full of Crêperies, as if we were in Bretagne, although I have never been there...
So, here we are, entering the place; immediately on the left is the area where they are making crêpes. Of course, I cannot miss the piece of butter sitting there...very promising...
And, in the back of the photo, you can see a crêpe, with a darker color indicating that the flour used is buckwheat, making it slightly heaver and tastier. In fact, the crêpe is called a galette.
Jodi ordered the three cheese crêpe, stuffed with emmental, roquefort and goat cheese.
On my side, I ordered the savoyarde, made with reblochon cheese, potatoes, cream and chives. It had prosciutto on top.
I could also taste the campagnarde:
It was stuffed with eggs, cheese, potatoes, cream and chives, and topped with bacon. A bit similar to the savoyarde.
The galette itself was crispy and from the three crepes, I preferred the three cheese one. But overall, it was very good!
Of course we could not leave without any dessert! We ordered the crêpe avec de la creme de lait that is in fact a crêpe with dulce de leche.
The batter for the sweet crêpes was different from the savory one. It was of course sweeter. It is possible that for the sweet ones, they used milk in the batter, whereas for the salty ones, they may have used beer (it also makes the batter lighter).
This crêpe was very good; this is how I like to eat dulce de leche: not too thick and not too much so it does not overpower the entire dessert.
I also tried the Grand Marnier crêpe that was flambee...
I can tell you that after that, we were full and we did not need to get a treat anywhere...Le petit Josselin is a good address to know. In fact, when we arrived, only couple of tables were taken; but when we left, the restaurant was full and people were waiting outside!!!
Enjoy (I did)!
