We came to eat here after seeing that they offered crepes with buckwheat and therefore gluten-free. Everything was very good, the only downside, which didn’t bother us, but is simply a note, was the very slow service: understandable since there were many tables and only one person serving. There is still a sign, albeit small, indicating that they work at a very calm pace, and it is also nice to be able to adapt to slower rhythms and appreciate the wait for food, but perhaps it could be indicated more clearly. I definitely recommend it!

I would like to speak in favor of this place, the only one I know in Menton where I have eaten twice without any issues. I am a coeliac very sensitive to contamination. From the outside, I can't say that it looks like a worry-free eating environment because it doesn't give the impression of being clean. They prepare 100% buckwheat galettes and the classic wheat crêpes. I specified that I am coeliac and they told me they would clean the grill, and they seemed to know what they were doing. In fact, in the two times I've been there, I've never experienced any symptoms! However, when choosing the galette, I stick to safe options without any special or elaborate toppings. I had the one with avocado, egg, emmental cheese, and prosciutto. The only downside was the more than an hour wait to receive the dish on August 20th.

Very nice place where you only eat savory buckwheat crepes gluten-free; there is definitely contamination because they also make the "classic" sweet ones in the same kitchen. It’s perfectly fine if you have only a mild intolerance, like my wife, otherwise avoid it.
