Creperie Ma Bretagne, Madrid

The Creperie Ma Bretagne claims to be the oldest creperie in Madrid, and it offers something more than just the traditional French pancake: its star player is the Briton galette (or just galette). Similar to crepes, galettes are large and thin, and come served with any variety of ingredients. Unlike the crepe, however, it s made with buckwheat flour as opposed to wheat flour, giving it dark coloration and a heartier taste, and is only cooked on one side, leaving it moist. Here, the savory list includes different cheeses, meats and vegetables, while the sweet boasts indulgent options like liqueurs, honey, and chocolate. The attentive staff explains the history of galettes to each table while customers are free to enjoy the amiable ambience and delicious, French-infused foods. - Michelle Campagna
