A galette is a savoury buckwheat crêpe, a type of pancake from the French region of Brittany. Unlike the crêpe, however, the galette is cooked on one side only.

The galette is frequently garnished with meat, fish, cheese, salad or similar ingredients. One of the most popular varieties is a galette covered with grated gruyère cheese, a slice of ham and an egg, cooked on the galette. In France, this is known as a galette complète (a complete galette). A hot sausage wrapped in a galette (called a galette-saucisse) and eaten like a hot dog is also becoming more and more popular.
