Sticky Fingers BCN

Hidden away in the strangest corner, is the Creperie Bretonne. Located underneath the Frank Gehry fish beside Barcelona’s twin towers and next the Casino. The most common affluence of people are tourists, which is a pity, as many are missing out on this great restaurant. It would probably be more suited to the Borne or Gotico areas of the city. So, every once in awhile, I traipse out to get the best crepes in town.

Supposedly the first creperie was opened by the Anaík Noblet family in Colliure, France and who then continued extending their franchise to include 4 other restaurants in Girona, Barcelona, Valencia and Figueres. I first came upon this magical experience while visiting Girona and was delighted when I found the one in Barcelona. I have also had the pleasure to sample their delicacies in Colliure this past spring.

What makes eating at the creperie such a sensational experience is that each one is very different. The two characteristics that remain the same are that each restaurant is a creperie and that the kitchen is housed inside an old bus. Yes, the buses are actually inside the restaurants. The bus in question in Barcelona is a silver, double decker.

While waiting to place your order or for your food to arrive, entertainment presents itself in the form of crayons at each table and a big white sheet of paper that serves as a table cloth. If your drawing is really good, it may end up on the wall. All this drawing is possible only if you can tear your eyes away from drinking in all the different details to be seen inside the restaurant. Even the bathrooms are curious, with old bus doors closing the stalls.

The food itself is spectacular. All manner of crepes, from vegetarian to meat, fish or cheese. They are well sized and very filling. The salads are also delicious and big enough to share. The quality for price ratio is excellent and the sweet, dessert crepes are excellent. A weekday lunchtime menu is available and they also make reservations, which is a relief when the restaurant is full on weekends and during the summer.
