French crêpes be OHHH LAAAA LAAAAAAA.
It's all that buttah that makes for such a deliciously decadent meal.
Go sarrasin...and the buckwheat basically cancels out all the buttah!
OK, OK...
I know, wishful thinking but French crêpes is such a great treat esp when you're in need of comfort food.
Grande Crêperie opened just in time to get into fall/winter pudge pudge shape! This second location in the city is a crêperie window located at the side of La Marais Bakery at 18th and Sanchez streets (look for the "I *Croissant* SF" mural). Great set-up for those walking their dog and looking for a quick bite.
Per staff, current hours of operation: Every day 9:30 AM - 3 PM.

* Savory Galettes ($13-$16) & Sweet Crêpes ($8-$12)

* La Complète w/ french ham, gruyère, aged comté, oeuf miroir pasture egg ($16): https://tinyurl.com/jmsn6mhu
Before devouring, I slit into the egg and let the liquid gold ooze all over the galette...
The Brittany-style savory buckwheat galette was soft and chewy with delicately crispy edges. The melty gruyere+aged comté added a layer of rich nuttiness with a nice salty bite from the thin slice of ham (not overly salty). Not as rich and buttery as other galettes I've had so I easily ate the entire thing myself.
The accompanying side salad of peppery arugula, sweet tomatoes, and parm dressed in a tangy vinaigrette added freshness and balance.

Friendly and prompt.
With no line, my order was ready in 10 minutes and brought outside to me. The food runner kindly brought TT a bowl of water upon on request, thank you!

Overall, Grande Crêperie is a nice addition to this side of the city and IMO, much easier to get to than their Ferry Building location. If you've craving French crêpes, give them a try! read more
