Crep' des Lys - Auray

We had driven from the port to begin our holiday in Brittany and arrived in Auray at lunchtime. It was a public holiday so not so many places open and we almost passed by this place as it didn't look impressive from the outside. What...a mistake that would have been! We had exceptionally good galettes, thin and crispy just as they should be and leaving us room for a sweet crepe for dessert. We had a lovely bottle of local brut cider and spent much of the rest of the holiday looking for more. The coffee was also very good. This is a very friendly place, not just the staff but as each of the other diners left they said goodbye and "bon appetit" to the remaining diners. My partner is not a big fan of galettes but can't wait to go again

Arrived with my wife and daughter mid afternoon on August when many places were finished serving but found great service from very friendly host in a really clean and pleasant location. The finest crepes we've ever had (la Texas is excellent if hungry) and...a very good smoked salmon salad. If ever in Auray again we'd love to eat there again

I have been here once before to enjoy a quiet, delicious pot of jasmine green tea, but today I finally tried their crêpes. I ordered L'Auray (a savory buckwheat galette with cheese, cured ham, egg, and a chutney of sautéed tomato, basil, and onion), a..."coupe" of two scoops of ice cream (caramel and rum raisin), and my friend and I shared a half-bottle of "brut" cider. Holistically, the meal was a success. I especially enjoyed the flavor combination of egg, cured ham, and tomato and basil, which is something I've never seen before in other crêperies. The buckwheat galette itself was rather on the thin side, and wasn't as buckwheat-y as in other Bretonne crêperies, but then again, those are personal preferences. One of the most lovely things about this crêperie, however, is the service and the ambiance it creates. The owners and their waitstaff are all incredibly warm and sociable without being overbearing. For this reason alone, I would return...and I probably will, for another pot of tea and more ice cream. *Note: "brut" refers to cider that is drier with a crisp, appley tang. If that doesn't sound like your style, ask for "doux which is sweeter and fruitier
