Creperie La Maison De Jeanne

If you want a trip back to 18th century Brittany, you must dine here. We were lucky?? enough for our first choice, Creperie Des Halles, to be closed and stumbled across here looking for an alternative for lunch, which we also thought may been closed with a large heavy wooden closed door, but were given a friendly greeting on cautious entry. We were greeted by a single room of simple wooden furniture and stone walls, but inviting atmosphere and of course Jeanne Simple but complete menu of what turned out to be delicious crepes and galletes and drinks. You could imagine very little would have been different from a visit a couple of hundred years previously, apart from the paper plates and disposable wooden knives and forks (perhaps a side effect of the covid pandemic, but more likley that the kitchen was a small corner of the only room, and likely not to have space and facilities for washing up), but it was the food we came for and it was all delicious along with artisan cider served in teacups. So a rare gem, and a must visit if in the area.

An old fashioned, traditional Breton creperie. This place is full of character, with lovely food and friendly service. The toilet out back is nice and clean!

I love Treguier and visit several times when I go on holiday to Brittany. I hadn't really noticed this creperie previously but it looked interesting with honey and flour for sale outside when many of the other places were closed or full. Going inside I found one large room on two levels that looked like a medieval dining and living room knocked into one (which is probably was). Furniture and decoration was rustic with free newspapers available. On the higher level was a bar cooking area. It seemed one can reserve a table but there was space on a large bench table. In terms of clientele I found this was popular with other Brits but locals were also in evidence. The menu is fairly short and consists mostly of savoury and sweet Galettes and crepes with local cidre and coffee, from what I recall. The simple choice is reflected by simple prices. An interesting twist is cutlery cups and plates are disposable presumably for Eco reasons. I had a Complet galette but you could customise the ingredients. Service was prompt and very friendly, it helped if you could speak French but you could get through the basics with rudimentary French. The meal was very good and was just right for a light lunch. A helpful lady gave me the current edition of Oeust France and there was a yearbook of old photos. In summary it was very homely and felt like being a guest in an old merchants house. On leaving I bought some flour which comes on various types to attempt to cook my own Galettes but why bother when you can have it done properly at a good price at this establishment?

This is a lovely place with a great original atmosphere. The owners are super friendly and the building is a true wonder. The galettes and crepes are very reasonably priced, quite simple but very tasty. Well worth checking out if you want to savour some Breton delights.

The facade is very, very old and at first, despite the items for sale outside we were not convinced it was open- it was. The inside is even more fascinating than the exterior. There is a limited menu of crepes and galettes but they were really good and it was a well worth being brave and opening the door. The owners were friendly and the surroundings ancient.
