D and I went to Glorietta yesterday since D signed up with the Nikon Photoworld Asia event located at the activity center.
He attended the Advertising Photgraphy talk by Xander Angeles which lasted for about an hour while I made myself busy window shopping :)
He got a complimentary planner from Nikon for asking a question and his name was also included in the raffle.
After the event, we went to Greenbelt to have our dinner. It took us an hour of walking and deciding where to eat and finally we ended up somewhere.
Cafe Breton.
I wanted something light and Cafe Breton was definitely the place to go for a quick fix meal.

I was torn between Galette Bretonne and Galette Paysanne but decided to go for the latter since it was more filling with the hungarian sausage and egg.
The Galette Paysanne (P287) was served with a whole Hungarian sausage, onions, egg and asparagus with cheese sauce.
The Hungarian sausage was actually good. It was juicy and peppery at the same time. The asparagus with cheese sauce was my favorite among the toppings. It was light and creamy, a perfect combination with the galette.
D on the other hand got himself a Breton Mozzarella Burger (P204.75) which was a juicy all beef burger patty with mozzarella surprise and side salad.
We took some photos and then found ourselves searching for the mozzarella cheese. Just then we realized that it was a mozzarella surprise meaning the mozzarella was actually inside the burger patty. Yum!
The burger patty was really soft and juicy. There was a gooey and cheesy goodness in every bite.
After finishing our crepe and burger, we still felt hungry and so we got another order of their Galettes. This time their Galette Bretonne (P267).

It won us over.
Galette Bretonne is definitely a must-try! I could order this again and again every time we would dine here.
It is best to squeeze out some lemons into the crepe to bring out a zesty tang to it. It helped sharpen the taste and brought out the natural flavors of the spinach, crab meat, shrimp, and cheese. The fresh cream on top was also a perfect add on to the crepe. It gave a creamy but light taste to every bite.
We were about to bill out when we just can't help but have some dessert. So, we got an order of La Pinay (P168) which was basically a mango crepe topped with French vanilla ice cream and drizzled with chocolate syrup.
You can never go wrong with La Pinay. I love how the crepe was still hot when it was served and we need to eat fast so as not to make the ice cream on top of it melt. It was a 3-minute moment of silence after the plate was served in our table.
Here are pictures of their menu:

DeleteThat was one good choice. I've always love their crepes and galletes, and of course their coffee concoctions...
ReplyDeletehaven't tried their coffee yet. Maybe I'll try their macchiato someday :)
DeleteI always see Cafe Breton in Trinoma, but we haven't got to try it yet. I was actually scared that bf is not too fond of galettes and crepes.. haha.. But I'll definitely drag him here really soon. The Galette Bretonne looks and sounds like my kind of food.. Yum! <3
ReplyDeleteGo try it out Sumi! You'll never go wrong with Galette Bretonne and La Pinay. Bf might like the burger perhaps haha! :)
DeleteI've been eyeing this cafe whenever I pass by Podium, but never had a chance to try. :\ The burger reminds me of the Juicy Lucy burger in Il Mercanti.

Saw the Juicy Lucy burger from your Il Mercanti post. It looks better with the sesame bun and of course.. bacon! :)
DeleteYum yum. The Hungarian sausage looks delicious! I'd love to try the crepe, too!:)
ReplyDeleteGo try their crepes! Its really good. You can even customize your own crepe :)
DeleteMy fave crepe of theirs is the simple butter and sugar.. (with extra butter and sugar) hehe
ReplyDeletehaha! I bet it's equally good since their crepe per se is already yum! :P
DeleteI LOVE CAFE BRETON! Ever since me and my ex found this restaurant, we have become such great aficionados of their crepes and desserts :>
ReplyDeleteUs too! :)
DeleteThanks for the recommendation. :) These past few weeks, I have been in the Makati area but I always go to the same restaurants. It's nice to see that there is a new restaurant I can try. Can't wait to try their crepes and galettes! ^__^
ReplyDeleteTry it out Karla, you won't regret for sure :)
Deletei miss the crepes.. used to go to Podium's Cafe Breton with bf (now hubby) since he lived in that area:-)
ReplyDeleteI've been here a couple of times. I love their crepes, but I think I've only tasted crepe dishes from Cafe Breton so far. The burger looks really delicious though. It looks tasty and juicy!
ReplyDeleteIt really was juicy with the cheese oozing out :)
DeleteI love Cafe Breton's crepe and coffee!
ReplyDeleteI've always heard good things about La Pinay! I spent a few years in Manila but never got to try Cafe Breton! I think that's unforgivable because I for one am a dessert monster. Haha
ReplyDeleteYum! Cafe Breton is lalalove! So cute how you guys had to keep ordering more and the good stuff just kept on coming! :)
ReplyDeleteAgree! Maybe cause Cafe Breton only serves good stuff! :)
DeleteDrooling about your post now!! :p
