CREPERIES.ORG

A creperie is a restaurant specializing in the manufacture and sale of crepes or patties. Crepes or ti-krampouezh in Breton, are widespread in Brittany where crepes are a regional speciality.Crepe schools in Brittany receive trainees from all around the world.

Different regions have different types of crepes and cakes. In Lower-Brittany or Breizh Izel, which corresponds roughly to the area of the Breton language or brezhoneg, we make crepes (krampouezh) or wheat (gwinizh) or buckwheat (ed-du). In Upper Brittany or Breizh-Uhel, part language Gallese, we make sweet creperies and buckwheat creperies, which includes only a paste made from water and no milk. The appearance and taste are different in these two regions.

However, in Lower Brittany buckwheat crepes are regularly called "cakes" , so as not to confuse consumers. an authentic cake is a creperie with a double layer of dough, as opposed to the crepe lace.
