Voyage Gaufre, Rochefort-en-Terre 06-2017

There isn't many food review sites online (perhaps just not in English) for many of the little towns in Brittany. That means Tripadvisor really comes into prominence in the region. I was surprised to see #1 in Rochefort-en-Terre was a gaufre (or waffle) place.

In the morning after a walk around and purchasing some local Breton cider for the road, the wait was successful until 12pm when Voyage Gaufre opened. The building and exterior is absolutely cute and gorgeous and so typical of what made Rochefort-en-Terre the best voted village in France for 2016.

The menu has savoury and sweet gaufres. How could I go past La Bretonne (noix de St. Jacques cuisinees, fondue de poireaux) €12 whilst in Brittany? Beautifully plump scallops sauteed in butter came on top of leeks cooked in butter and served on a waffle with crisp outside and soft and very buttery inside. It was butter in extremes and delicious as a result. The watercress on the side also had melted butter drizzled on it just to be compatible.

For the less buttery, there are also sweet gaufres and some reasonable sounding salads too.

I can see why this is #1. I didn't have another gaufre but I'm happy I had it once here.
