03/12/2024: Lost in a picturesque valley in the town of Quillan, Le Demi-Sel is a Breton crepe restaurant that seduces with its bucolic setting. With its location on the main avenue, slightly off-center from the center, it remains easily accessible and invites you to take a gourmet break in a relaxed atmosphere.
During my visit, I opted for several savory and sweet crepes, but the experience was mixed.
The buckwheat pancakes, although generously filled with products of impeccable quality, disappointed me with their dough. It lacked cooking, crispness, and that typical buttery taste which gives all its charm to real Breton pancakes. This detail hampered the authenticity of the dish, but fortunately, the freshness and flavor of the interior ingredients made up for this imperfection.
For dessert, my sweet tooth took over, and I let myself be tempted by two sweets.
The apple crumble was simply delicious: balanced, tender, with a subtle touch of spices that warms the heart.
Then, the caramandine caught my attention, as much by its poetic name as by my curiosity to taste their salted butter caramel. This dessert crepe convinced me, with a rich and tasty caramel that perfectly met my expectations. Although it is not the best caramel I have tasted, it remains a success overall.
The service is provided by a young and dynamic team, who demonstrate professionalism while maintaining a pleasant atmosphere.
In summary, if the pancake dough deserves improvement to achieve Breton excellence, the quality of the fillings and desserts makes this place a nice address. Le Demi-Sel is a pleasant stopover, perfect for lovers of good flavors in an enchanting setting.
