Lead Brittany to the Menhirs

Wood carvings, triskels, lighthouses, minks and the ocean as far as the eye can see. We almost believe it. In Toulouse, Menhir’s crepe shop takes you on a trip to Brittany. However, once you arrive at your destination, it will be difficult for you to make a choice between the two thirty delicious pancakes savory dishes are offered à la carte. All, or nearly, refer to this little corner of France. The “Gourvennec” galet, named after the former footballer from Finistère, is made with chicken sautéed with onions and Roquefort cream. “Tad-kozh”, which means “grandfather”, combines asparagus, scrambled eggs, and parsley, then “mamm-gozh”, translated “grandmother”, mixes spinach, salmon, fresh cream, and dill.

On the sweet side, too, there is something that catches the eye. The menu includes the same number of pancakes as savory pancakes. Jam, chocolate, honey, caramel, chestnut cream, apples, pears, peaches, bananas and all its variations… We will especially like the crepe with peaches, currant jelly, whipped cream and toasted almonds, or even the apple crepe with Calvados (eau de vie obtained after distillation).
