Pancakes at any time, opposite the lighthouse of Île Vierge

Crêperie La Route des Phares in Plouguerneau

Full view of the Île Vierge lighthouse! In Plouguerneau, behind the fences on its terrace, Crêperie des Routes des Phares proposes a varied menu. Whether you want a sweet or savoury crêpe, you’ll be served at any time of day here. The mix is home-made, with organic flour. The ingredients are essentially local. Every week, the chef’s suggestion changes: line-caught pollock, foie gras cooked on the barbecue, etc. Don’t forget to leave room for dessert: palet Breton ice cream, Plougastel strawberries, etc.! Or you can sit comfortably in a deckchair and just have a drink as you watch the sun set. The house speciality is the breizh mojito. With cider, of course…

The fish of the day is prepared ceviche-style, the buckwheat has an oriental twist, the vegetables are marinated and served in a whole artichoke… Sunday is brunch day, to enjoy with family or friends. Remember to reserve.
