Mamie Bigoude, Breton restaurant in Tours, France
Mamie Bigoude is a Breton restaurant in Tours serving traditional French dishes with buckwheat galettes and sweet crepes cooked at a central counter. Diners can watch the cooks prepare their meals from their seats.
The concept launched in Tours in 2008 and later expanded to other locations across France. The restaurant now operates at multiple sites in the country.
The place brings Breton food traditions to the table, especially through authentic galettes made with water, buckwheat flour, and salt, prepared right in front of diners.
The restaurant sits on Rue Chateauneuf and opens most days with a lunch service and a dinner service at different times. It helps to check ahead since days off may apply.
The interior features unusual touches: some tables are set inside vintage bathtubs and converted bed frames. This playful design makes dining here a visual experience.
