Crêperie in La Caserne, on the mainland: buckwheat galettes from €10, sweet crêpes and mussels in summer. Closed in winter, reopens on 1 April.

A crêperie before the footbridge
L'Hippocampe is the crêperie of La Caserne, the group of hotels and restaurants on the mainland before the footbridge. It is run by Les portes du Mont Saint-Michel, the same group as several hotels and restaurants in the area. It is the simple place on this list: galettes and crêpes at crêperie prices, no online booking, in a room of about eighty seats. It suits before catching the shuttle or on the way back from the mount, when the Grande Rue is full and its restaurants charge the price of the location.
The menu boasts a short supply chain: the flour comes from an artisan miller in the area, the Moulin de Moidrey, the eggs are Label Rouge from a nearby farm and the cooked ham has the Bleu-Blanc-Cœur label.
What to order
The buckwheat galettes range from the €10 traditional one, with ham, emmental and farm egg, to the €18 house one, with house-smoked salmon, egg and pink onion compote. In between are the Super Complete with mushrooms (€12), the vegetarian with aubergine hummus and roast vegetables (€14), the Normandy Delight with Vire andouille, melted camembert and mushrooms (€16) and the Breton with smoked pork fillet (€17). Sweet wheat crêpes cost from €5 for the sugar one to €8 for banana and chocolate spread, and the salted butter one, €7. In summer there are mussels marinière with chips for €17, salads and artisan ice cream sundaes.
Opening hours and season
Open Tuesday to Saturday, from 12:00 to 18:00. In winter it closes: its website announces reopening on 1 April. If you go from November to March, look for another table in La Caserne, such as La Ferme Saint-Michel, which is open every day. Book by phone. It has private parking with an access code and free wifi, and accepts cards, holiday vouchers and meal vouchers.

Qué pedir: the traditional complete galette (€10) or the Normandy Delight with Vire andouille and camembert (€16), and a salted butter crêpe (€7)

A tener en cuenta: A quick sit-down meal at crêperie prices, without climbing the mount.
