Crepes of Brittany Celebrates its 15th Anniversary with its “Flavors of France” Celebration
Crepes of Brittany proudly marks its 15th anniversary with “Flavors of France,” a two month-long culinary celebration taking place throughout December 2025 and January 2026. The anniversary honors the restaurant’s French heritage, its journey from a small Wharf-side beginning to a popular Monterey destination, and the loyal guests who have supported it along the way.
Throughout the two months, guests will be invited to enjoy a special anniversary offering inspired by the authentic regional flavors of Brittany and Normandy. If customers mention the “Flavors of France” anniversary promotion and with a purchase of any crepe, they will receive a free Lemon Sugar Dessert Crepe during the month of December 2025 and January 2026 – a sweet treat for their special anniversary this year.
Owned by Thierry Crocquet and Daniel Peron, both natives of northern France—Brittany and Normandy respectively—Crepes of Brittany was founded on a shared commitment to authenticity, craftsmanship, and hospitality. Thierry and Daniel first met in 2008 at Daniel’s former restaurant, Taste of Brittany, in Stockton, California, and they reconnected two years later. United by their culinary philosophy and heritage, they selected Monterey as the home for an authentic French creperie.
The original Crepes of Brittany opened in 2010 on Old Fisherman’s Wharf, beginning in a small corner of a coffee shop with just a handful of tables. Despite its modest size, the location allowed the owners to establish the high standards of food quality and customer service that would define the restaurant. Traditional techniques and carefully sourced ingredients helped deliver a truly regional French experience rarely found in the area.
Six years later, following steady growth and strong community support, Crepes of Brittany moved into its current stand-alone location (45 seats inside; 40 seats al fresco) near Old Fisherman’s Wharf and the Portola Hotel & Spa. The restaurant features many eye-catching decorative items including posters, a fish net, porcelain plates, painted trays and four large crepe griddles.
Thierry Crocquet, co-owner, adds, “Everything is inspired by where we come from—from the recipes and ingredients to the warm, welcoming Brittany-themed atmosphere. Celebrating 15 years is especially meaningful, and we are grateful to the community for allowing us to share our culture.”
“At Crepes of Brittany, the passion has always been about bringing the authentic taste of French crepes to the Monterey Bay,” said Daniel Peron, co-owner. “The goal is to take guests on a brief journey to France through carefully prepared food that reflects our roots.”

A Cultural Roots Story
Brittany—Bretagne in French and Breizh in the Breton language—is located in northwestern France, bordered by Normandy to the northeast and extending westward into the Atlantic Ocean. It has a lot of similarity to the Central Coast of the Monterey Peninsula. The region’s maritime landscapes, traditions, and distinctive cuisine strongly influence the flavors and philosophy behind Crepes of Brittany. The capital of Brittany is Rennes, and its culinary legacy remains central to the restaurant’s identity.
