Discover a selection of crêperies in Paris to enjoy delicious, sweet crêpes or savoury buckwheat pancakes.
Sweet or savoury, crepes are a favourite with everyone!

But for a sweet treat, there’s nothing like a crepe! Popular fillings include butter and sugar, sugar and lemon juice, salted caramel, and the famous crepe Suzette with Grand Marnier. All these and more can be enjoyed in the many crêperies in Paris or on the go from a street stall.
