I’ve been going to Breizh in Tokyo and Paris for many years, so I was happy to come across this outlet in Kyoto. It’s in a beautiful, inviting little house with a lovely terrace in the back that has a nice view of Kyoto’s quaint streets and houses. The menu consists of all the classics, as well as some items unique to this outlet and seasonal specialities. Everything is available a la carte or in various sets. As we had spent the morning sightseeing and doing a lot of walking, we were fairly hungry and opted for two sets: one with a classic galette and one with the addition of seasonal vegetables. Both were excellent. I had the soup of the day with my set: a pumpkin soup, available hot or cold. At the waitresses’s suggestion, I opted for cold, and it was delicious and refreshing. The salad with the other set was likewise fresh and tasty. My set included a dessert crepe, so I opted for a simple one with French butter and brown sugar from Okinawa, which we shared. For drinks, as part of the sets, we had two glasses of cider, one sweet and one dry, and we added on some tea at the end, having asked our waitress for a recommendation. It was delicious with an aroma of peach. The staff were pleasant and the waitress who assisted us was a complete delight: friendly, patient, and helpful with recommendations, all of which were spot on. Looking at some of the other reviews, I think it’s worth noting that in Kyoto’s touristy areas, premium pricing seems to be the norm, so expecting budget rates at a French crêperie along the Philosopher’s Path might be unrealistic. Nevertheless, prices here align with other Breizh outlets, offering, for example, a complète at ¥1,380 (about €8.73). The use of high-quality organic ingredients, often imported from Breton, contributes to this, but also enhances the experience. The menu is prominently displayed in front of the shop, so there shouldn’t be any surprises.

I can't speak more highly about this place! I've been to France, live in Melbourne and have had many delicious crepes and galettes. I would say this place would be up there as one of my best crepe experiences ever! The crepe Suzette was wonderfully presented (complete with the Grand Mariner being set alight!) and the texture was light, smooth and inviting. I got a vegetable galette which featured eggplant and snap peas which were in season. The buckwheat was crisp in the right places and cooked to perfection. And the pork pate is housemade and so tasty - it sort of has the consistency of a terrine. Advice for travellers - book ahead as it does get busy being at the end of the Philosopher's walk. If you have a larger group, a separate room is available for 1000 yen and you get to sit on traditional Tanami seats. You will be well accommodated no matter what language you speak however a little Japanese goes a long way.

A gem in Kyoto! I really loved the fusion between traditional French crepes recipes and Japanese local ingredients. The menu is diversified with plenty of choices - I really wanted to try this French/ Japanese mix so I had the ‘Galette légumes de Kyoto’ with local vegetable and black shichimi togarashi, as well as the ‘Crepe Kyoto’ for dessert either uji-matcha ice cream, local kuromitsu and Hokkaido whipped cream. Both were amazing 😋 The price is a bit high for Japan (paid ¥¥1900 for the main dish and ¥1400 for the sweet crepe) - but overall knowing how expensive this same address is in Paris - this was really a good deal 😂 The place is a bit further away from the main touristic place so was super calm the evening I was there - and the staff was lovely as well :)

GLUTEN FREE AND DIARY FREE! YUM!!! This was THE BEST breakie I’ve had in Japan. The buckwheat crepes are diary free, gluten free and sugar free, they come out crispy and delicious! The prosciutto is absolutely divine quality, fresh and an elevated change from classic bacon. Coffee was really lovely too. I had an Americano(long black). Highly recommend, even if you can eat all the things! For breakfast or lunch or snacks! You will be so glad you came to visit! Arigatooo! Follow me for more adventures :) Instagram : rachelclaremccann **This meal was altered for me, minus fresh mozzarella, plus an egg.

Located just at the southern entrance towards Philosopher Path, this picturesque French crepe theme cafe is hard to miss. The outdoor tables are really tempting for a nice spot to rest the legs and have a nice dessert or coffee to recharge yourself. The menu is extensive, but we only have eyes for the sweet stuff. The crepe is good but turned cold and slightly hard in the nice cool spring weather almost too quickly. Besides the front entrance area, I will recommend the quiet and private outdoor table at the back of the cafe.

We stopped in for a snack before visiting a temple nearby. I see some reviews here about not being able to share food items, or having poor service, which we didn’t experience at all - we shared a crepe, and the service was very kind and attentive! I’m not sure about the requirement of everyone ordering a drink, though, because we both had an iced coffee regardless. Yes, it is a little pricey compared to the area, but it is a relaxed atmosphere, good service and delicious food. Well worth it!
