Amazing!

Glad we stopped in while passing through. Breakfast croissant, savory crepe & dessert crepe were all great. Chairs were hard and uncomfortable. The decor and ambiance is the cutest. Would definitely return!

Dinner

Terrific dinner. Was heading up to the main square and saw this was open for dinner. Had a veggie crepe and a dessert crepe. Both very well made and not dry like in so many places. Nice staff, good AC.

This is a casual restaurant. Most people are in street clothes, though there are some business people there at lunch.
