Crêperie du Roy

The Crêperie du Roy presents itself as the oldest in Dinan. It is on the rue de la Lainerie, the street that goes down from the upper town towards the rue du Jerzual, so it is on your way to the port. It is a small place, with about 14 seats inside, and a terrace.

What you eat

Buckwheat galettes, 100% buckwheat, and wheat crêpes, hand-made with local produce. The house specialities include the complete galette with red onion cooked in cider and a sweet apple galette flambéed with calvados. For dessert, the frangipane crêpe with home-made chocolate or the salted butter caramel cream one. You order à la carte.

The classic order is a savoury galette as a main course, a sweet crêpe for dessert and cider in a bolée, the earthenware bowl in which it is served in Brittany.

When to go

It is open Tuesday to Sunday and closed on Mondays. With so few tables, in July and August it fills early at midday: arrive before half past twelve or book by phone. They speak French and English. Dogs are allowed.
