Apple `wine', gruyere cheese....says France doesn't it?

Area: Nagoya Station, JR Towers 13F

This seems to be a restaurant brought to Japan from the Bretagne region in France.  Apparently they specialize in buckwheat crepes or galettes.  The crepe itself has little added seasoning, so you really do get a feel of buckwheat, and you can enjoy the crispy outer edge and chewy inner texture.  Here, I had the cheese galette set (1050円, drink included, lunch hour ends at 3pm).  The cheese was really the key in giving this dish it's flavor.  I think it was Gruyere cheese, so it was quite strong, a nice change from the usual mild cheese that you normally find in Japan.  Overall, it was a nicely done plate, but the word that comes to mind is `simple'.

For the drink, I chose the store's specialty apple cider drink.  This fizzy, not so sweet alcoholic drink is made by a process similar to how wine is made from grapes.  You can choose from dry, sweet or organic.  I went for the dry, and was pleased with how well it went with the meal.

Perhaps being originally a cafe in France is why Breizh has a bistro feel.  If it's a nice day, you can sit outside on the terrace and look over Nagoya from the 13th floor.  Of course, there are a variety of not only savory, but also sweet dessert crepes to choose from.  You can also have your crepe made with butter for an extra fee (I think that would be a great addition).
