Blé Noir ; Gastronomic Breton Crêperie in Carouge

Sitting down at Blé Noir means treating yourself to a gourmet getaway where every bite celebrates conviviality and the pleasure of flavours.

Blé Noir Carouge ; A Crêperie in the Old Town

On Place de l’Octroi, in the heart of old Carouge, Blé Noir occupies the former Auberge du Cheval Blanc. Chef Benjamin Luzuy and his partner Cécilia Flatres celebrate Brittany there. Sitting down here is much more than eating a crêpe. Each bite blends conviviality and Breton flavours. Crispy galettes and fresh seafood are enjoyed in a warm atmosphere. The setting combines Breton tradition and Genevan elegance.

Authentic Products and Short Supply Chains

Quality is at the heart of everything. The organic flours are stone-ground in Finistère. As for drinks, the craft ciders come notably from Johanna Cécillon, in the Côtes-d’Armor. Each product is carefully chosen. The address also shows a real commitment to the environment. Short supply chains, Swiss produce and respect for the seasons guide the menu. Less carbon footprint, more flavour.

A True Breton Brasserie

More than a simple crêperie, Blé Noir presents itself as a true Breton brasserie. The atmosphere is friendly, warm and authentic. The deliciously crispy crêpes are made with fresh, seasonal ingredients. They offer a perfect texture and balanced flavours. Revisited classics and original creations share the menu. Each bite invites you to discover new taste combinations.

Each dish embodies the meeting of Breton tradition and local products, in a contemporary setting. The passion of the producers and the kitchen team can be felt in every plate. The chef also has a second Blé Noir address in Eaux-Vives, in Geneva.

The atmosphere captures the Breton spirit while adding a refined touch.

The lobster roll and the craft cider are the real highlights. These specialities, rarely on menus elsewhere, reveal all their finesse. An authentic address, ideal for an evening in good company. From Carouge to Finistère, the journey is short.
