Krügen Général

The cuisine at Krügen Général represents genuine Breton gastronomy, built on a foundation of traditional techniques and authentic regional products. At the heart of the menu lies the galette bretonne—thin, crispy buckwheat crêpes that showcase the distinctive flavor of blé noir (buckwheat flour). These galettes are prepared according to time-honored methods, achieving the perfect balance of crispy edges and tender centers that characterize excellent Breton crêperie work.

The restaurant's commitment to authenticity extends beyond technique to sourcing. Products arrive directly from Finistère, Brittany's westernmost department, ensuring that ingredients carry the genuine taste of their terroir. This direct relationship with Breton producers means that the butter, flour, and other essential components maintain their regional character and quality.

Beyond the signature galettes, the menu features other Breton specialties that complete the regional experience. The kouign-amann, a traditional Breton cake made with layers of butter and sugar, offers a sweet counterpoint to savory galettes. The 100% Breton pancakes provide another expression of the region's crêpe-making tradition, prepared with the same attention to authenticity and quality.

The culinary approach emphasizes the terroir and the work of local producers, making each dish a celebration of Breton agricultural heritage. This focus on regional products and traditional preparation creates a dining experience that transports you to Brittany while remaining firmly rooted in the Parisian dining scene. The menu accommodates various dining occasions, from quick weekday lunches to more leisurely weekend brunches, always maintaining the same commitment to quality and authenticity.
