I thought I’d start a little series here on the blog where I share 3 things or places that I love in different places. Today, let’s start with the basics: crepes in Paris. Everyone wants to know where to get great ones, so here I am to share my three favourite spots in Paris with you to get a crepe. And because I believe in doing a thorough job, I’m going to tell you what I order at each place.

Let’s hit the streets of Paris and get this done right.

3 Really Great Places to Eat Crepes in Paris

1. LA DROGUERIE DU MARAIS | I love this tiny window-shop stand. The man who owns it makes a no-fuss crepe- with all the classic fillings: Nutella, banana, jam, sugar & lemon, and the like. I love the cheap prices and the prime location on Rue des Rosiers, but I also really love tuck inside the tiny shop and sip hot mint tea from the decorative glasses for €1 to really round out the experience.

2. BREIZH CAFÉ ODÉON | After the original location of Breizh in the Marais did so well with it’s chic concept selling Breton-style crepes, it only seemed natural to hop across the Seine and open another location in an equally popular area. Luckily, the left bank loves crepes as much as the right and this location is just as fab.. and with a larger seating area. Go for savoury crepes (“galettes”) made from buckwheat to start and end with sweet crepes stuffed with classic and gourmet options at the end of your meal. Reservations are definitely recommended.

3. CRÊPERIE MARIE MADELEINE | This little stand and cafe was just around the corner from our place in Paris a few years ago. After far-too-frequent visits, we became friends with the sweet couple who own the cafe. By the end, Viola was helping make her crepes and we had made some sweet friends there. It doesn’t hurt that they have Speculoos on offer at this stand, my very favourite crepe filling. (If you don’t know what Speculoos is, it’s basically the original Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter. Aha… you see the amazing combination at hand now, don’t you?) So that’s my order. And if they have the crunchy Speculoos on hand, even better!

A LOCAL RECOMMENDS…

“If we want the simple, basic crepes in a perfectly, Paris location- we go to the little crepe stand by Saint Germain des Prestige church and get a Nutella & banana crepe. “ -Kathryn Ivey
