Bretonne
Named after the northwestern district of France, Bretonne serves up a dizzying array of savory and sweet (mostly) buckwheat crepes that make for a substantial but casual meal. These include Middle Eastern versions of the classics, like the eggplant and labaneh crepe, which is also stuffed with potatoes, tahini and a healthy dash of spice. The desert crepe menu is just as extensive, with standouts including the “Bretonella,” filled with homemade chocolate, and the salted caramel crepe, paired with crème fraiche and sliced almonds. This self-service street food spot has hefty wooden tables where patrons can seat themselves. The joint stays open late to cater to bar-goers with the munchies. Note: There’s a second branch at 22 Washington Avenue in the neighborhood of Florentin.
