Creperie Flaubert - Perpignan

We had a simple meal. Two gallettes (savoury buckwheat crepes) followed by a honey and lemon crepe, with a piche of cider. You could have such a meal in many places, but the quality of the food and drink here, the elegant ambience, the graciousness of the service, all made for a memorable occasion. This restaurent, in a side street near the train station, is well worth a visit and could do with more customers.

This was our first experience with buckwheat crepes, but it certainly won't be the last. The buckwheat provided an excellent tasting and ingenious envelope for their expertly prepared ingredients. Our hot ingredients stayed hot, moist and flavorful throughout the meal without leaking or tearing the crepe. The restaurant is charming, clean and comfortable and the owners were most helpful interpreting the menu. My lunch consisted of a delicious creamed potato with bacon crepe and my wife raved about her ham, mushroom and cheese crepe. The portions are large so you might consider splitting one savory crepe and one dessert crepe. Their house wines are very good.

Stopped here for breakfast, the savory crepes were good but the dessert crepes were excellent. I had the "hot chocolate" but my friend ordered the lemon one and it was amazing!
