If you ever drive the 330, then you have definitely seen this crepe restaurant- whether you know it or not! It’s small and located in the Plaza House Shopping Center, but it’s there! Le Village Galette en Crepe is a cute little place with a delicious menu. The full menu is served at dinner and includes pasta and other main dishes, the lunch menu is more limited, but fortunately, both menus include crepes!
Le Village reminds me of a café you would find in France, complete with rouge accents and wine displays. There are very few tables in the restaurant, but we did not have a problem snagging one of them during lunch.
The only real problem is that the full menu is in Japanese and the staff does not speak much English. Of course Okinawans are more than wiling to overcome the language barrier, so it’s not a hard work around. The dinner special menu is in English, so that’s a plus. The menu itself is adorable. Almost like a scrapbook:
We ordered two crepes: the first was a savory option with the lunch special, and the other was a dessert crepe. If you have never had a crepe, it’s similar to a very thin pancake, made of flour. They had options for regular white flour crepes or buckwheat flour crepe. We tried buckwheat with the savory crepe and regular white flour for the dessert crepe.
The lunch special came with an appetizer of yummy chicken salad, a side of pickled carrots, potato soup, and a drink. The savory crepe we chose had mushrooms, pancetta, egg and tomato. The dessert crepe had strawberries, ice cream and whipped cream. The dessert crepe was delicious, I preferred it to the savory crepe – but maybe that’s because it had ice cream!
