Le Petit Breton Artisan Crêperie

You'll find this little Breton outpost just a stone's throw from the Botanic Gardens, and thank God for it. The owner knows their way around proper French crêpe technique – the galettes come made with genuine buckwheat flour that gives them that nutty, earthy flavour you'd get in Brittany, while the sweet crêpes are thin, delicate, and spot-on every time. The café itself is cosy without being cramped, perfect for lingering over a chocolat chaud after a wander through Drumcondra. Whether you're after a savoury galette stuffed with ham and cheese for lunch or treating yourself to a Nutella crêpe that'll ruin your appetite for dinner, they've got you sorted. It's the kind of place that makes you feel like you've stumbled onto a side street in Rennes, which in dreary Dublin weather is exactly what you want.
