Crêperie Ty Breizh

Crêperie Ty Breizh is a classic crêperie at 38 Rue des Boucheries in the medieval quarter of Quimper, Finistère — the historic capital of the ancient kingdom of Cornouaille and a city that considers itself the cultural heart of Breton identity. Ty Breizh means 'Brittany House' in Breton, and the name reflects a commitment to the region's traditions that runs through every aspect of the operation. The galettes are made from buckwheat flour sourced from farms in the Finistère bocage, the eggs come from free-range hens, and the fillings are drawn from the Cornouaille regional pantry: the andouille de Quimper — a locally produced smoked sausage — fills the kitchen's most Cornouaille-specific galette, paired with Gruyère and a fried egg. Breton salmon with cream and dill represents the coast-and-river tradition of Finistère, while a galette of seasonal vegetables with goat's cheese provides a vegetarian option of genuine quality. The sweet crêpe range places the kitchen's homemade salted caramel at the centre: made in small batches from Breton butter, sea salt, and cream, it is spread warm on a plain crêpe or combined with roasted almonds in a more elaborate dessert preparation. The cider selection reflects Finistère's strong farm-cider culture, with several labels from the Bigouden country and the Montagnes Noires, each available in bottle or by the bolée. The dining room is charming without being contrived — exposed stone, old timbers, Quimper faience ceramics on display — and positioned a two-minute walk from the Cathedral Saint-Corentin and the Odet river. Quimper's medieval quarter is busy with visitors from May through September; reservations for dinner and weekend lunch are advisable.
