This is a homey but attractive little creperie in a lovely little square in the upper town. I don't know what the name means but I think it translates the Flower of Salt. Go figure. We thoroughly enjoyed a light lunch which featured a couple of the gormet rose specialties of the town. They sell a few things like rose jam and other products as well but we passed them by.
Favorite Dish: I had a nice omelet with cheese, onion and tomato and my wife had a crepe with 4 red fruit jams. She had a glass of kir a la rose which I tasted. Rose flavor is something I think might grow on you but I enjoyed my Abbaye Affligem, a blonde beer, very much. For dessert I tried the dessert crepe with rose jam and found it very tasty with some coffee.
Total cost of the two lunches with drinks: E 30.90

This restauarant was definitely not a very good idea, however a lovely location on the plaza.
We ordered salty crêpes with bacon and salad.
The plates and the cutlery were not clean and the food was a bit slimy. It was just edible. Perhaps the cook had a bad day?
The service was ok.

Our favorite stop during a visit to Provins, Mamie Gâteaux is an inexpensive restaurant with wonderful things. On our last visit, a very hot summer day, I had fresh peach juice-- incredibly refreshing and delicious. Here you can sample a provins specialty-- rose-flavored food. Try a crepe with rose icecream, rose syrup, and rose jam. Sublime! You can also purchase rose cakes, spice bread, etc.
Favorite Dish: I've become a fan of rose-flavored things.
