Le Pot O’Lait

Latin Quarter


A bright, contemporary spot, the Milk Can is the business when it comes to galettes (savoury buckwheat crêpes) – try smoked salmon or goat's cheese and bacon – and sweet crêpes (pistachio ice cream, zesty orange, hot chocolate and whipped cream). Salads are spectacular; kids will love the ice-cream sundaes.
