Crepes were decent but the outside of mine tasted a bit overdone so had a bit of burnt taste - I liked the one that my partner got better than the one I got. That one was more savory and flavorful whereas mine felt a bit more on the healthy side and closer to a salad. Maybe it was better for me. We tried ordering two cokes and one water to share as well as fries. Ended up with one coke, water, and told fries were out though it was early in the day. Service was very take it or leave it vibe but I noticed the other server seemed more proactive with other tables. Mixed feelings about this place. There are also lots of clown memorabilia... if I come back, I'll keep it to daytime lol. read more

We tried the complète with spinach and a sweet crêpe with chestnut cream, and both were delightful. The savory crêpe was a perfect light meal -- nicely balanced, not overly cheesy, and the buckwheat added a great texture. The sweet crêpe was also excellent, with just the right amount of sweetness. The edges were lightly crispy, while the inside remained soft. Even though it seems to attract a lot of tourists, the food is surprisingly good. The staff are very friendly, and the place had a lively ambiance, though it can get quite busy and seating is a bit tight. Many patrons were enjoying the cider, which had a surprisingly strong kick! Overall, a nicely balanced and affordable meal. Highly recommend for a relaxed crêpe experience with great atmosphere. read more

I had the smoked salmon with leeks and it did not disappoint! So delicious. I paired it with a kir royal champagne and it was a good combo! I forgot that my husband is not a fan of exotic cheeses, so he ended up not enjoying his because he did not like the cheese. However, he ordered the homemade cider they have in house and it was so good. We highly recommend The cider. Their service is super friendly as well. read more

Came here for lunch with my boyfriend at 1pm on a Friday. We did not have a reservation but were able to get seated right away because we were a small party. If you have a bigger party it might be good to make a reservation since you might have to wait a little. The place was very full, both indoors and outdoors but they do have extra seating in an underground level. We sat outside for the view of the street. Our servers were very attentive and efficient. They got all our orders in very fast and our food was ready quickly. We both got coffee that was really solid (I got an allongé which was strong and velvety but not bitter and my boyfriend got a cappuccino that came with a little bit of chocolate on top.) For food we got some savory and sweet crepes: Galette Piste: savory crepe made with buckwheat flour that came with cheese, mushrooms, chicken, egg, and sour cream. This was so amazing I cannot even begin to describe it. The cheese was super flavorful and the amount of it was just right. The chicken was tender and not dry at all. The mushrooms combination with the cool sour cream was reminiscent to me of a stroganoff/ or Russian chicken and mushroom blini. The galette itself was a little bit crispy but still moist and soft which was mind blowing to me as this is such a thin batter. Super filling and delicious. Quality was top notch! Galette Equilibriste: another savory buckwheat crepe. This came with chicken, cheese, tomatoes and pesto. My boyfriend really enjoyed this. It was very refreshing and also had a very perfect amount of cheese with juicy chicken. The pesto was subtle and had a nice aftertaste of olive oil. Very good and filling choice as well. Crepe Nez Rouge: this was a sweet crepe with raspberries, mascarpone, chocolate sauce, and chantilly cream. The combination of the rich and sweet chocolate with tart raspberries and cream was divine. Mascarpone was very subtle. Not too sweet and very delicious. Crepe with fromage blanc et confiture: plain crepe with some white cheese (feels a little bit like yogurt but very mild and without a tart flavor) and a jam of your choice. They have a bunch of different ones but we went with blueberry which was a little sweet and made us wish we had gotten something more tart/citrus like the lemon jam. Very good as well! On the simpler side if you like creamy things that are a little sweet but still feel healthy. Both sweet crepes had a really nice and spongy texture Loved this place! The ambiance was really casual and cute. The service was very friendly and the crepes were probably the best we had at any sit down place during our short stay in Paris. Prices are very reasonable too. Definitely come here if you find yourself in the area and are craving some delicious crepes. read more

Yummy yummy crêpes. Service was A-OK. In times where the French go anove and beyond to be nice and friendly, the waitress was a bit non-chalante. Worth it though read more

Ive been here several times, its it a nice street, the salty crepes are really good, the dessert ones are as well. The service is NOT on point.. they are usually speeding you through or super slow snd forgetting you: There is no ambiance its a basic interior but gets the job done. read more

I'm not too fond of crepes but these savory and sweet crepes were AMAZING ! The chef and our server were by far the BEST! This made our last night in Paris unforgettable.... This is an absolute must if you're in Paris!! Definitely recommending and going back when in Paris !!!! read more

I got the vegetarian crepe, my friend got a crepe complet. Both sooooo good. I haven't had a better crepe in the 2 months I've been here. The pesto was delicious, the vegetables were perfectly seasoned. 10/10. However, our lunch was made all the more entertaining by a man and his girlfriend who sat right behind us. This man would not shut up, my sympathies to his poor girlfriend. He mansplained philosophy, constantly negged her about how much he likes history while she likes shopping, and would not stop commenting on budgeting and how much she was eating. If you see this Miss Girl, DUMP HIM, for the sake of yourself and everyone who is forced to listen to your one sided conversations read more

PROS: his had these best crepes I have ever had in my life. The strawberry with chocolate is out of this world. Aesthetically pleasing Very helpful [I speak no French] with the menu. Fast pleasant experience. CONS: You don't have another on New York! read more

This crepe house was really good one, not very much touristic but gives enough options for us to choose dishes from many choices. This place has tables on ground floor and basement, but completely full. We (four people) waited 15 minutes and separated into two groups. 6+ people attempted to get in while we were waiting but they all gave up... So it's recommended to be ready to wait for 10-15 min at least. We had 1) gallet (buckwheat) with bacon, mushroom and eggs, 2) Crepe with maron cream in it, 3) Crepe with grilled almond and vanilla ice cream with home made chocolate. Taste of 1) gallet itself was very tasty (w/enough salty taste) and all ingredients were balanced and mixed with creamy white source. Good for small lunch (not filling that much as you know). 2) Maron cream crepe was good too, but it's rather very simple one. My kids had 3) crepe with almond and ice cream, they said it was yummy and enjoyed it a lot too. If you want to take a short coffee/lunch break before or after shopping in St. Germain area, this is the perfect place. You need to understand it's typical French shop so tables and chairs are packed in a small space so you cannot bring big backpacks there :-) Overall, we have enjoyed real crepe in a pretty small creperie. It's worthwhile to wait and try! read more

This creperie was super charming and the food and service were excellent. As an American dining in Paris with very little knowledge of the French language, you come to expect a disdain, BUT here we were treated wonderfully with menus in English. There were many different options that all sounded delicious. I highly recommend any American stop by this gem! Oh any get the seeet cider. ;) read more

La Crêpe Rit du Clown - Savory Crepes - Creperies Near Me - Paris, 75

With a name like La Crêpe Rit du Clown (supposedly means "the pancake laughing clown", or Crepe du Clown, at least that's what I remember), it's easy to assume that this place is a joke. Or perhaps the joke is on you. I dunno. The place had me wondering how bad crepes are where I live, because I liked the crepe I ordered here. It's like if you get used to eating tinny-tasting canned corn, suddenly fridge-tasting frozen corn is a treat. The other creperie was closed. I thought the crepe was a bit too sweet, but we were in the mood for crepes & coffee, & it was freezing outside (twas a rainy day en Paris). It was no Laduree (wow, really, I'm comparing this place to Laduree?). The crepes were nothing special, & the coffee was good European coffee, as expected (there wasn't a single cup of coffee that tasted bad, in the whole of Europe). It looked like a place for families/kids. Maybe it's like their humble version of the Rainforest Cafe. The people eating looked like locals - grandparents, grandkids. If you were part of a working class French family & your kid wanted some special dessert & you didn't want to spend too much, you'd bring him here. Because the boy, he will eat anything sweet. What I mean to say is that I enjoyed the crepe that I ordered, but I'm not sure I should have. Like instead of saying it was absolutely fantastic & recommending it straight to friends, I'm more like...."hmm". I can't remember what I ordered - it was either the Mont Blanc or the 1 with Chestnut Spread - but I think it was the latter. It was OK, & so was the price. The service was good, there was 1 server for the whole creperie. If it's raining en Paree, this is a good place to head straight to for a crepe & hot espresso, after spending a ton of money at the City-Pharma. read more

There may be more English speakers than locals, but at least it's a cute creperie that offers decent food at a reasonable price. The selections were not the fanciest, but the buckwheat crepes were perfectly executed. Highly recommend anyone to finish the meal with the lime sorbet with vodka. A real shot of vodka! The waitress was the friendly person I have met during my entire stay in Paris. She was even kind enough to let us use the landline since we were too cheap to turn on the roaming! I would not make a trip out here just for crepes, but certainly worth to stop by if you happen to run out of Pierre Hermes in the rain and need a warm cider and vodka ice cream. read more

After shopping in Saint Germain, one can get pretty hungry and could use a snack. That's where we wandered over to this crepe place down a smaller street. There was a vendor on the Main Street but we were looking for a place to sit down. The menu had English and French and the waitress spoke some English so that was helpful. For "Boisson" drink - get tap water, then there are also lattes (grand creme) and other coffees and hot chocolate. The crepes are sweet and a good portion. Don't be afraid to pick on to your liking and enjoy it! read more

Hands down, the best crêpes I've had while in Paris (and I've had quite a few). Service was wonderful, the crêpes were cooked just right. And the sour cream on their smoked salmon was absolutely delicious (keep in mind that I don't even like sour cream). My friend eating with me also loved her food. In fact, she says it's her favorite eating place and experience on this whole trip! (For me it's a close second) If I ever get the chance to come back to Paris, I would definitely come here again. The ambience is very casual. The place is quaint and small. Most of the great vibes I was getting came solely from all the people who worked there. although, if you're scared of clowns like me, then be prepared to be greeted by one right at the door. But, after that you're good to go with no more clowns in sight! FYI they are very friendly to tourists and so the place gets a 50/50 mix of French and tourist customers. Oh! And the pricing is good! read more

We walked from Notre Dame on Bastille Day looking for a low key place / mom-n-pops. Great service, yummy food. The chestnut ice cream dessert crepe was incredible. Go eat here but keep it a secret because it is on a quiet side street and we should keep it that way. read more

We had a wonderful dinner here while visiting Paris. We Ubered over after a fun day at Louvre and had a blast! The crepes were divine and the service was outstanding! Staff was very friendly even as we were using google translate to help place our order :). The adults in our party went savory. I had the #13 Dompteur (Smoked Salmon, spinach, sour cream and lemon. I loved it! My wife got the #11 Acrobate - ground beef, cheese, onions, tomatoes and eggs which was also quite nice (my wife liked it better than mine). The crepes were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Our boys went sweet and also loved their crepes. Our oldest got the #18 Moreno - caramelized apples, cinnamon, whipped cream. Our youngest got a crepe of bananas and nutella and was in heaven. We also enjoyed very nice cider and wine. The decorations were a touch off the wall but that made it all the more fun. I highly recommend this place to tourists but also noted that there were many locals enjoying the restaurant. I will post pictures of the crepes and the decorations. read more

Excellent crêperie near the center of Paris. Ideal for a stop in a shopping or tourist day (near Saint-Sulpice, rue de Rennes etc.). Good variety of crepes on a funny theme (e.g., the circus). Good quality. The place is a bit small, but this is what makes it charming. Prices are reasonable. read more

Our first crepe in France. Haven't found anyone better so far. Very small seating arrangement though but I believe that is very common in Paris. read more

A crape made with buckwheat is a Galette, and these were the best we had. Do yourself a favor and try the Galette Complete with ham and egg.

Normal crepes, we don't feel waitress friendly serving customers; also limited flavors to Crêpes, kind of disappointed.

One of the best creperies we visited in Paris! The service was good, food was excellent. Some of the best crêpes I've ever had. Highly recommend coming here. read more

I was in Paris for a week and kept passing delicious smelling crepes. I don't eat gluten, so when I stumbled across this creperie I was so happy. My last night in Paris I went here. As an American, people usually speak English to you even if you don't ask them to. I took years of French and wanted to try to speak French while in Paris. The woman who helped us here spoke to me in French the whole time I was here, in a slow and patient way so that I could keep up. The service here was excellent, the crepes were delicious. Even though the dessert crepes do not say gluten free they will make you a dessert crepe with buckwheat if you ask. They have bowls for the cider, which was very cute. I highly recommend this place. read more

This will not be well received... 1. The crepes aren't bad, but I'm no expert. It's likely they are average. 2. Service was average at best. How hard is it to serve crepes anyway? 3. Avoid at all cost the cider. It's essentially cold, fizzy, clown piss. I can only imagine this is where the establishments name derives. Absolutely horrible! 4. Avoid the bathrooms. My feet stuck to the floor and there wasn't any soap. Make what you want of it, I'm just stating the facts. In summary: If your on vacation and need some grub to shut up the kids up give it a try. Otherwise, avoid at all costs since there are much better establishments in the vicinity. read more

This stop was where I had my first crepes in France and although I didn't have a comparison at the time, after trying others they were definitely the best. I got the crepes with steak and it was delicious. Another big hit was the the crepe with egg ham spinach and fresh cream. Besides the somewhat bizarre clown decor it is a cute place which had a mix of tourists and locals. Wish I made room for a sweet crepe for dessert! read more

Cool spot to get an early lunch. The place is packed and has two levels. We were seated on the lower level. The place has one, tiny, unisex bathroom downstairs, but hey that is convenient if you are walking around the city like we were. For four people the seating is tight, but you can make it work. Everyone working here is friendly and can speak English and there was a mix of locals and tourist. Everything here is delicious as you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Get the lunch time special which includes one savory crepe, one sweet crepe and one drink or coffee. We learned that the special cannot be shared, so we placed and additional a la carte order. We tried the chicken, onion, cheese crepe which had the caramelized onions and tasted like onion soup...it was good. Also, we had the blueberry crepe which was very sweet but delicious and a salad I can't remember which one, but it was good too. If you are in the area, give it a try! read more

After hunting for a creperie on a cold rainy day (the other two I had hoped to eat at were unexpectedly closed), I stumbled upon La Crepe Rit du Clown. I ordered one entree crepe and one dessert crepe. The entree crepe was filled with blue cheese and topped with a salad. It was very good. The dessert crepe I chose had chocolate, bananas, and whipped cream in it. Delicious! I have no complaints about my meal other than the price. For both crepes, no beverage included, my bill was 19 Euros. I don't have much to compare this experience to since I'm from the US and we don't have many creperies. I knocked one star off due to the price, but the service and food were great. read more
