Crêperie Heb-Ken

Nantes


A local institution since 1976, this no-frills crêperie cooks up every imaginable flavour of savoury galette and sweet crêpe. The themed menu is conveniently organised by key ingredient (onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, leeks and so on) and there's ample Breton cider, beer and lait ribot (thickened milk) – by the bolée (drinking bowl) or pitcher – to wash the whole lot down.
