3 great creperies to celebrate Candlemas

To celebrate Candlemas, Paris Select confides in you three of its favorite creperies in Paris. Take advantage of this moment of madness to eat more than one and smear yourself with chocolate!

P’tit Breton: the eternal Chandeleur in Paris

For over ten years, Le P’tit Breton has been serving gourmets young and old with a smile, weekdays and weekends. With a friendly, generous approach, this brand reinvents the traditional image of the Breton crêperie. Now with three locations in the 2ᵉ, 9ᵉ and 14ᵉ arrondissements, this modern crêperie seduces with its unique concept: formulas, including an all-you-can-eat option, to satisfy every craving.

Breizh Café, the chic and cosmopolitan crepe

With 12 locations in Paris, Breizh Café has established itself as a benchmark for crepes. Also present in Saint-Malo, Cancale and as far afield as Tokyo, this staple of Breton gastronomy delights the taste buds with creations such as the spinach, mirror egg and grated cheese galette, the smoked herring and potato version, or the flambéed crêpe tatin. Renowned for using stone-ground, certified organic flours, Breizh Café also offers an impressive selection of 60 ciders, from Brittany and other regions, to accompany its specialties.

Brutus, Tu quoque mi Billig!

A trio of crêpe enthusiasts have come up with a charming bistro address in the heart of Les Batignolles, far removed from clichés of trawlers or waves raging against a Breton lighthouse. Here, the plates heat up for traditional Breton recipes with warm, nostalgic names, like the Jeanine, prepared with Breton buckwheat from the Paulic flour mill and topped with a tasty pan-fried andouille from Vire. Cider lovers won’t be outdone, thanks to a 25-strong menu, including Appie on draught. And for the evenings, let yourself be tempted by our expertly prepared cider cocktails.
