Reviews Summary
This creperie is celebrated for its delicious galettes and sweet crepes, with many praising the charming ambiance of dining under a large tree in a square. While the food is a consistent hit, some diners have noted that the flambéed crepes can be overpowering due to strong alcohol content. Service can also be a mixed bag, with some experiencing friendly and efficient staff, while others found it lacking.

"Had high hopes for this place as it received the trip advisor excellence but I was disappointed. First time going there, I had the banana cooked in butter with raisins, flambéed in rum (2/5). The banana and crepe were lovely, but there is too much rum! The rum completely overpowered everything else and I had to take advantage of the tilt of the table to only eat the non-rum-soaked parts of it.
But anyway, my boyfriend and I came back again the next day to give the place another chance to redeem itself. I had the grand marnier flambéed crepe with almonds and again, it felt like the chef poured a shot on my crepe after cooking it. Maybe I’m just not accustomed to the flambé method of cooking but the alcohol tasted so strong! Personally, I’d rate it a 2/5. My boyfriend had the crepe with hazelnut cream, chantilly and ice cream and it tasted sooo good (5/5).
My advice is to avoid the flambé crepes and stick to those with Chantilly (sth like whipped cream)"

"This is one of the best galettes that I have ever had and we ate lots of them when we were in Brittany. The lady who served us was under a lot of pressure the the complete (that is a buck wheat gluten free pancake with ham, egg and cheese) was absolutely fantastic.Great setting in a square under the great big tree and a wonderful small carafe of rose. If you arevisiting the ill town of Vence look out for this place as a wonderful lunch stop."
