About us
Cecilia, originally from Britanny and Benjamin from Geneva but breton at heart, imagined Blé noir as a way to share their passion for the breton gastronomy and thought of it as a poetic and culinary expérience to be enjoyed to the fullest .
Each ingrédient on the menu has been thoughtfully selected to create the tastiest combinations.
Cecilia : “To me, the crêpe is the taste of my childhood, during which I spent a lot of time at my grandmother’s . coming back from school, I would find her in the kitchen where she would have me sit on a pile of fresh sheets that had just been folded . I would watch her prepare the dough with her bare hands before spreading it with a rozel in an even and really thin coat of dough on the burning crepe-maker. The idea of this restaurant stemms from these lovely memories I have of her.”
