Crepe restaurants in Brussels
The right vocab and the right ingredients
In this land, we are used to making sweet crepes. However, the Bretons alternate between savory and sweet! The meal usually starts with savory garnishes. We are thus talking about a pancake with buckwheat flour as the main ingredient.
There is no shortage of pancakes before the big appetites move on to crepes. When the garniture is sweet, wheat flour replaces buckwheat.
Whether you prefer sweet or savory, you can wash your meal down with a good cup of cider… which just turns out to be a pretext to the chouchen that acts as an after dinner digestive.
