Besides Ireland ,Scotland and Wales, Brittany, located in the North-West of France, is one of the well known places in the world where Celtic culture is celebrated. If you are interested in trying out some Celtic delicacies or experiencing a little piece of Brittany, then stop by Mamm Goz.

Stephane, the owner of Mamm Goz, is a Breton native; all of the decor in his restaurant, from the curtains to the "Bolee" (glasses used exclusively for cider) is authentic--including the food. As a result of his trips home and good relationships with brewers in Brittany, he is able to supply his restaurant with Brittany authentic ciders. Coming to Mamm Goz is a great opportunity to sample some of these local brews; if you're not sure what to try, Stephane will be glad to recommend something.

The most famous dishes in Brittany (Bretagne in French) are Galettes and Crepes. The galettes (Or savoury crepes)at Mamm Goz are made with buckwheat and stuffed with different fillings. The restaurant's sweet Crepe's are great for a snack or dessert. Recent meal additions here include the savoury galette "Ar Turball" (NT$490) and the sweet crepe "Houad Enez" (NT$250). "Ar Turball" is a savoury crepe with imported sardines oven baked with Brittany sea salt and potatoes. It is then topped with the chef's special sauce for a delicious finish. The Houad Enez is a Crepe stuffed with home made caramel sauce and sweet semolina and then topped with fresh seasonal fruit.

From Tuesday to Friday during lunch hours, Mamm Goz offers three set meals that range from NT$280 to NT$420. For dinner, they offer a NT$600 set meal that include a home made countryside vegetable soup. If you would like to try out something truly authentic, then give the Galettes and the Crepes a try. Make sure to soak in the celtic atmosphere too--don't be shy about asking the boss what various patterns or objects are, he'll be happy to share.
