Food Style? Crepes and Galettes

The little town of St Malo is a beautiful walled establishment, overlooking several islands in a section of the English Channel that sparkles emerald green in the sun. It's known for its savoury crepes, or for galette, as well as its sweet ones. I've chosen a little cafe with no English translations called Margaux for a quick lunch, because I need to be back at the bus soon.

I chose the Enzo. I was very interested in the "canard fumé", which, without looking it up, I hope is smoked duck.

Galette


Enzo - smoked duck breast, pear, roquefort and balsamic reduction
Holy moly. It is absolutely delicious. And my translation is also correct. The smoked duck and the blue cheese, beautifully rich ingredients, perfectly balanced by the sweet poached pear and a slight hint of the balsamic reduction. The for galette is crispy, not soft like a crepe. I am very impressed.
