Crêperie La Romaine — Restaurant in Martigny

Love this place! Got here for a lunch because my wife wanted some local crepes and was pleasantly surprised by both the food and the service.

The food: I tried classical buckwheat crepes with ham and egg and the dish was as good as I was anticipating... and slightly better thanks to an unexpected twist with rich and flavourful combination of a fresh egg yolk smoothening and empowering the buckwheat notes.

The crispiness of the mantle, the perfect balance of flavours between the grilled bacon and molten cheese. At no point did one ingredient dominate too much. Instead, their embracing dance on my palate left left me wanting for more.

Truly a...

Discovered this establishment on our transit at Martigny after a ski trip from Verbier, it was worth the 13 mins walk from the gare 😋 The restaurant has a very spacious space with simple warm interior behind the small entrance door. There was something special with the crêpe batter, it was crispier and more flavourful than other crêpe bretonne I ever tasted (my guess is they put cheese inside). What also surprising was the chèvre salade, as they wrapped the chèvre with apple and crêpe batter. The lady who took our order was very friendly and accommodating. It was definitely a...
