クレープ・ガレットと言えば、シ―ドル（リンゴ酒）と食べるみたいなので注文すると、お祖父さんはシードルをつぎながら「今回はうちのレストラン初めてなの？そしたらお願いごとをしてね」と優しく言い、なんだか温かい気持ちになりました。
さて、メニューを確認すると、あまりにもの安さにＥも私も「こんなに安いんだから美味しくないんじゃないかな？」と一瞬不安がよぎっていたのですが・・・そんな不安もつかの間！食にうるさいＥは頼んだcomplete（ハム・チーズ・卵）をペロリとたいらげ、追加注文。私はその間、美味しい～と大喜びでToulousaine（トゥルーズのソーセージ・チーズ・オニオン）を食べました。デザートにはＥはチョコバナナ、私はレモンを注文。普段はあまり甘いものを食べない私もこのデザートには大満足。ここのクレープ・ガレットが何が違うかと言うと、生地がパリパリしていて、具が美味しい。そして何より丁寧に作られているのが分かります。
パリで安くて美味しい、更にサービスが良いレストランは本当に少ないので、頻繁に通うレストランになりそうです！
Last night I went to a creperie (a crepe and gallette restaurant) called Creperie de Vieux Journal with E. We arrived to Vavin station which is close to Montparnasse. The restaurant is located on a quiet street off the main streets where famous restaurants are lined up. Outside of the restaurant sat a gentle looking old man and ushered us to a seat with a smile. There were many old newspaper and magazine clippings on the wall and had a retro vibe.
Apple cider is usually drunk with crepe and gallette so we ordered some and when pouring the cider, the old man sweetly said "Is this your first time at our restaurant? Then you must make a wish" which made me warmed my heart.
Now, when we looked at the menu both E and I were worried about the quality because everything was really cheap... but that doubt lasted for only a second! E who is demanding about food finished his complete (ham, cheese, and egg) in seconds and ordered another one. Meanwhile I enjoyed every second of my Toulousaine (Toulouse saugage, cheese, and onions). For desert, E had a chocolate and banana crepe and I had the lemon crepe. Even myself who doesn't eat sweets much really enjoyed desert. What makes the crepe and gallette here different is the crusty outside and the tasty inside. And above all, I can see that they are made with great care.
There aren't many restaurants that are both tasty, cheap, and have great service so I think this will become a place we go frequently!
