About

On the Port de la Houle, Breizh Café Cancale offers a careful take on one of Brittany’s most iconic meals: the buckwheat galette and the wheat crêpe. Facing the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, the house combines the simplicity of a popular dish, careful choice of ingredients and gastronomic curiosity. It is a place to have lunch facing the sea without necessarily wanting a long or formal meal. Organic buckwheat is at the heart of the menu. Around the galette come selected Breton produce, seafood depending on the current offer, quality butters, vegetables and craft ciders. The sweet crêpe extends the pleasure with the same care for taste and produce. In Cancale, this repertoire echoes the oyster-farming tradition, the lively quays and the appeal of the Emerald Coast. Do not confuse this crêperie with La Table Breizh Café, a separate gastronomic restaurant at the same address, with its own cuisine, chef and booking.

What you will see

  • Setting: friendly and bright, facing the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel.
  • Cuisine: organic buckwheat galettes, wheat crêpes and Cancale seafood.
  • Menu: organic buckwheat galettes, wheat crêpes, seasonal Breton produce, ciders and seafood options; check the menu and prices before your visit.
  • The Port de la Houle as a horizon: the quays, boats at high tide, oyster beds and changing light; it can be very busy in summer, and a table with a view depends on the service.
  • Organic buckwheat in the spotlight: the quality of a galette is measured by the flavour of the buckwheat, its thinness and its cooking.
  • The wheat crêpe as a real dessert, showing off the quality of the butter and seasonal ingredients.
Show 3 more points
  • Cancale on the plate: oysters, shellfish and other coastal produce can inspire the dishes available.
  • Breton butter and producers: the house uses Maison Bordier butter, among others.
  • Craft ciders: dryness, fruit and fizz can be matched to a seafood galette, a cheese filling or a sweet crêpe; ask what alcohol-free drinks are available.
