The Chief Romain Le Cordrochwho runs the Bvañ restaurant in Vannes, now offers a galette every year that highlights his Breton region. And there are many more flavors to discover. The proof, while in 2024 he offered a hemp pancake, it is with chestnut flavors that he makes you start 2025.
A cake that brings Brittany to life
Of course, it is not just any brown, but Redon chestnut. If he doesn't really speak to you, it's because his culture had been abandoned for a long time. As always Romain Le Cordroch strives to bring initiatives to life through its cuisine, including the relaunch of this production. For example, he will call on La Ferme des Ecureuils run by Jean-Baptiste and Ludivine Hérissewhich brings this culture back to life.
The Redon chestnut has a tender flesh and a sweet taste, and the Chef decided to combine it with the fruit of the sour orange, a bitter orange which can be combined in terms of flavor while bringing a touch of pep to this pancake. In detail, this pancake for Epiphany 2025 is composed of a glossy puff pastry with chouchen caramel for shine and
crunchy when cut, a relaxed frangipane with pastry cream with Redon chestnuts, and bitter orange cream and candied chestnut pieces.
The indicative price of this local and seasonal pleasure is 20€ per cake for 4 peopleand €28 for the one dedicated to 6 people. It is necessary to place the order 48 hours in advance, directly at the restaurant or by telephone. The Bvañ restaurant is located at 6 rue Alexandre Le Pontois – 56000 Vannes.
