I like the galette, do you know how? When it is well made with butter inside! Well, it's the case ofAuguste, the last modern crêperie opened by BléNoir last September after the one of Hippolyte only one year ago in the 9th district.
We go just a step away from the Pompidou Center in the district of Beaubourg and Les Halles to discover this crêperie which is located in a charming pedestrian street, that of Saint-Martin. It is in homage to the wooden halls built by Philippe Auguste (King of France) in 1183 that the restaurant bears this name.
At BléNoir Auguste, the traditional Breton creperie atmosphere is out, we want to be modern, like the 50's revisited, to have the impression to eat in a real restaurant and not in a simple creperie. A refined atmosphere with a touch of arty, design lighting, cosy leather seats and velvet armchairs, a large central bar, a marble and gold table and wood on the floor and walls form a trendy and warm ensemble.
On the plate, you will find recipes that have been finely tuned over time and made with fresh, quality, local and organic products. At Auguste, everything is homemade.
At the time of our passage, we tested the rolls, these rolled and toasted pancakes as an aperitif to choose between chorizo or salmon, a true delight. We accompany that of a good cider among the beautiful card rigorously selected and of a juice of farm apple and we are at the top.
On my side, I chose theEpinard d'Olive with coppa made of Emmenthal and creamed spinach, while my friend was tempted by an original pizza-like cake with cheese, ham and olive, but on a buckwheat pancake base. Crunchy and tasty, they were swallowed up without a second thought.
No creperie without dessert crepes, I choose the pretty chocolate duo, banana and poached pear while my more reasonable friend chooses the dark chocolate plus and grated coconut on a buckwheat pancake base. The pear melts well and the chocolate is good, the pancake remains light.
In the end, a nice crêperie well located and a greedy meal that doesn't leave us with a heavy stomach.
Please note that it's been over 4 years since our last visit, so the place and experience may have changed.
