There are plenty of places to eat in Bordeaux, but if you're craving authentic French galettes and…read morecrêpes, Nom d'une Crêpe is worth a stop.
The restaurant has a cozy, rustic feel with exposed limestone walls that give it plenty of local character. We were fortunate to get a table by the front window, which made for a pleasant lunch while watching people pass by.
A special mention goes to Flom, who looked after us from the moment we arrived. He was welcoming, attentive without hovering, and happy to answer our questions about the menu. It's the kind of service that makes you feel comfortable right away.
A helpful tip: if you're considering one of the set menus, keep in mind that they're priced per person and aren't meant for sharing. Since we wanted to split our food, we ordered individual galettes and a dessert crêpe instead.
We tried the Bil galette with ham, egg, and Emmental cheese, as well as the Biloude, which added mushrooms. Both had nicely crisp buckwheat edges with generous fillings and perfectly cooked eggs. For dessert, we shared the Lolotte crêpe with banana and melted chocolate, which was rich, indulgent, and perfect for sharing.
The prices are fair, the portions are satisfying, and the atmosphere is relaxed. If you're wandering around Bordeaux's old town and want a casual lunch that's both traditional and delicious, this is an easy recommendation. I'd happily come back to try more of the menu.
