Thundering typhoons on Rue Émile-Zola! Cult crêperie Blev Hir has passed the baton to local brothers Jérémy and Jimmy Kerboull (their parents ran the greengrocer’s across the street), who have spruced up this 22-seat spot with just the right touch of Breton humor (a ”Marche ou crêpe” sign, a Captain Haddock figurine keeping watch) and a clear philosophy: incredibly fresh, local, no-nonsense ingredients (cheeses and eggs from Saint-Vougay, charcuterie from Guipavas, butter from Landerneau, flour from Pont-l’Abbé), all treated simply and well. That evening, we dove into: a completely kraz (“crispy” in Breton) galette complète with melted cheese, a runny organic egg and ham, all lovely and hot; followed by a sweet crêpe with pan-fried apples, homemade salted caramel, Breton shortbread two ways (crumbled and as ice cream) and a dollop of whipped cream. Thunderously good. · Pedro Rascaille
