Breizh Café: Breton Crêperies Between Paris, Brittany, and Japan

Breizh Café is a restaurant group specializing in crêpes and buckwheat galettes, driven by Bertrand Larcher. Its approach combines Breton culinary tradition with Japanese influences, a connection the founder traces to his childhood in Fougères and his discovery of Japanese culture. The brand describes itself as an ambassador for Breton flavors and operates locations in France and Japan.
