    Cafe crepes with speed. Simple but inexpensive.
    Robert H.

    Before you head over to Notre Dame or Sainte-Chapelle stop by here for some inexpensive 3€ crepes. You'll need the extra carbs if you expect to climb the Notre Dame tower and the place is located right across the street from the line. This was the only place I saw without a round grill but I'll tell you their setup is very efficient. The flat rectangle grill can cook two crepes at once and has the batter on wheels. If you're in a hurry, they can cook 10 crepes in a five minutes. You won't get any mind-blowing crepes at any street setup so why pay more than you have to? Stop here and save a few Euro.

    Worst crepe place in my experience in Paris. Very few diners inside which should have been the first sign. We initially ordered the chicken and cheese and they were out, so we got ham and cheese. The ham quality was low. Reminded me of the worst kind of lunch meat. The dessert crepe was greasy from the pan which is not how other crepes are in my experience. It was a banana nutella crepe. I expected the banana to be sliced but it was served whole.

    After a long day of sightseeing and note dame, we stopped at this restaurant. We had spaghetti and lasagna. Comfort food. The food was delicious. It hit the spot. As we walked out we noticed that if you order the spaghetti outside it was 6 euros but inside the restaurant was 14 euros. But at least at this restaurant they let you know. That's one thing we learned about being in Europe. That if we take away it's half the price than eating inside the restaurant. The next day we returned and ordered crepes and spaghetti outside and again it was delicious. The service is fast. We got the bill at the same time we ordered they were not joking around. We had the best Nutella crepes for 3 euros here. We're home now and we wish we could have had more of those crepes.

    Perfect place for a cafe and crepe after seeing the cathedral. Very nice staff and a good atmosphere.

    Overview: My first meal in Paris, so good I had 2, amazing service…read more ---- Jamon, fromage, oeuf (ham, cheese, egg) gallete €7 (~ $8) - crispy cheese - topped with some spinach and veg mix and a half a cherry tomato - very filling - made fresh right in front of you - they are huge and take up the whole plate Caramel, banane, amandes (caramel, banana, almond) crepe €5.50 (~ $6.50) - not as crispy (as is traditionally softer than a galette) - good amount of bananas, almonds, and generous with the caramel as well - also very filling and took up the whole plate ---- Notes: - A little hole in the wall place, with seating on the inside and the outside - there is a €1 fee if you eat there vs take-away - the older gentleman who works there was amazing, super friendly and welcoming, you can feel the love in the crepes he made - we came back in hopes of seeing him again but there was another worker there, the crepes were still good, but wasn't as good as the original ones we had (you can tell the difference from the photos) - seating inside there were playing music and seating outside you can people watch ---- Overall: if you're looking for an authentic crêperie this is the place you need to try, it's affordable and welcoming, delicious sweet crepes and savory galettes, the older gentleman was a sweetheart

    Great spot for crepes both sweet and savory! Comfortable seating for dining in or they have a walk…read moreup window if you want to take away. You can watch them make crepes while you are dining too which is fun! Service is great and they have menus in English and French.
