The Breton canteen, a colorful creperie of the 19th century

In the Ourcq district, one block above the canal, La Cantine Bretonne has been distilling the smell of golden crepes, both savory and sweet, since May 2018. Notice to lovers of gourmet dishes and wide open spaces!

The walls are a warm mix of royal blue, duck blue and powder pink. On the plate, a condensed version of Brittany's finest delicacies: buckwheat galettes that crunch under the taste buds. Here, they're made with organic, gluten-free black flour from Brittany to suit all palates. This is the Cantine Bretonne, a new crêperie in the 19th arrondissement, located at 22 bis rue de l'Ourcq, near the Parc de la Villette.

Inside, there's something for everyone, with a predominance oftraditional recipes such as the Complète with white ham or the St Jamaise with andouille de guéméné (with camembert and cider-fried apples) and more atypical creations like the spicy Boucanière with marinated chicken and kari gosse.

We've taken a fancy to theBreton hot dog, filled with artisanal sausage, Emmental cheese, Comté cheese and onion confit. It's served rolled up like a sausage, offering an original way to enjoy it. On the palate, the flavors are enhanced by a drizzle of honey-mustard sauce. For lovers of iodized pleasures, the Wakame with lemon salmon gravelax, with a creamy herb center, is a refreshing and hearty option.

For dessert, crêpes are the order of the day, with well-executed classics such as the regressive homemade banana-chocolate or the addictive cider-fried apples. And, of course, cider is the perfect accompaniment, in a variety of versions such as the mojito revisited with calvados and cider.

Opened at the end of May 2018 by the proprietors of Maison Becquey and La Simonetta, this new spot just a stone's throw from the Canal de L'Ourcq has the advantage of a vast room with different areas, for large tables or small group meals.

The whole is bathed in light thanks to large bay windows overlooking the street and its passers-by. Not to mention a terrace which, although a little noisy due to its immediate proximity to the street, allows you to take full advantage of the setting sun.
