Creperie Garcon

At Creperie Garcon, the golden-browned galettes and neatly finished crêpes catch the eye first. One option is a galette with prosciutto, Camembert and salad for 2,080 yen. Diners who chose this combination have remarked on its toasted colour and tempting aroma. Other savoury choices centre on egg and cheese, with options that include ham or mushrooms, so you can choose the filling to suit your taste.

For something sweet, there is a simple crêpe with house-made caramel sauce, as well as combinations with banana or fresh orange. One diner who tried the caramel crêpe enjoyed the way its texture changed between the surface and the inside, making it a dessert to savour to the last bite. Another appreciated how the crisp batter of the pear-and-caramel crêpe gradually softened as it absorbed the fruit’s juices.

Cider is a natural choice alongside galettes and crêpes. The menu describes it as a lightly sparkling apple drink with an alcohol content of 5% and a price of 680 yen. White and red wine are also available with a meal, while coffee or tea can round off a sweet crêpe.

You can dine in at this small restaurant in Shimobenten-cho, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto. It is described as an intimate spot suited to smaller groups. Payment is cash only, so it is worth coming prepared.
