For over 35 years, a family business has kept the Breton tradition alive in the heart of Bouffay in Nantes.
In Old Quimper
Located in the historic center of Nantes, Au Vieux Quimper has been welcoming locals and visitors for over 35 years . Its recognizable facade, terrace, and warm decor are part of the neighborhood’s landscape.
Behind the doors of this family-run crêperie , Breton tradition is reflected in the buckwheat galettes , wheat crêpes , and recipes prepared on-site. The expertise has been passed down with the same passion for three decades: to serve generous, carefully prepared cuisine that remains true to the restaurant’s identity.
It all begins with two flours emblematic of Breton cuisine . Buckwheat gives galettes their distinctive character and flavor. Wheat flour lends crêpes their sweetness and light texture. For over 35 years, the family has been perpetuating these artisanal techniques with precision and consistency.
Thin, golden, and delicately crispy, crêpes dentelles hold a special place in the history of Old Quimper . Cooking them requires precise technique and constant attention. This gourmet specialty embodies the expertise passed down through generations .
The quality of a recipe begins with the choice of ingredients . At Au Vieux Quimper, we prioritize carefully selected products and collaborate with renowned local producers. Flours, dairy products, beverages, and garnishes combine to create authentic cuisine that reflects its local roots .
Our crêperie Au Vieux Quimper is perfectly integrated into the Bouffay district , one of the oldest and most vibrant neighborhoods in Nantes. Its cobbled streets, historic facades, and lively squares surround the crêperie with a unique atmosphere.
The Château des Ducs de Bretagne is just a few minutes’ walk away. The train station, the shops in the city center, and Nantes’ main cultural attractions are also easily accessible. An ideal spot to enjoy a Breton specialty during a day in Nantes.
