The buckwheat flour batter used here is a fully vegetarian egg-less batter which has more of a nutty flavour than traditional pancakes and consists of: Organic Buckwheat Flour, Salt, Bottled Water (not tap water), Sunflower Oil and Syrup and uses a traditional hand mixing technique which incorporates air into the batter "and allows it to breathe".

* Eggs, Ham and Cheese seasoned with Himalayan Pink Salt and Black Pepper, Organic Rocket, Homemade, Vinaigrette (made with with Cider Vinegar & Dijon Mustard).

We have previously visited here where we had their "La Vegan" Savoury Galette which normally contains Sauteed Garlic Mushroom and Spinach with Sesame Tahini Basil Sauce (and we added a couple of more toppings of Cherry Tomatoes and Emmenthal Cheese) the addition of salted butter and Himalayan Sea Salt with herbs and cracked black pepper elevated the crepe to a higher taste level. It was served with a rocket side salad. Here's a link to that previous visit: • Savoury Galette Batter...

There is no secret to the recipe & preparation because these guys make everything in full view while you wait.
French Crepe Suzette or Galette. is a popular snack in France; it's made from a batter of wheat flour that is fried on a hot griddle in a very similar way to an Indian Masala Dosa or even a Chinese Jian Bing - these guys make it look very easy, but it takes many years of practice to make perfect pancakes like you see here.
A very special thank you to Eva, Tomas and all of the restaurant team who welcomed us and graciously allowed us a privileged glimpse into their kitchen to do the videoing.
