A great crepe shop in the Montparnasse neighborhood of Paris. We traveled here on foot, cars don't do so well here but it's near the metro. This is an old, historic place, decorated with local art and some quirky displays. Service was quick, friendly, and very helpful (my French still sucks after all these years!) I tried a sausage, cheese and fresh tomatoes while others tried ham and cheese. The crepes were savory, fresh and unbelievable. We finished off with a Nutella sweet crêpe a chocolate glace. Nice quiet night after a day of walking Paris... can't go wrong here! read more

Our annual visit to the Creperie was once again a total delight. I have been coming here for years, and recently have brought my family (vegans, celiac, and gourmets) all of whom regard this as their favorite place to eat. It simple would not be a trip to Paris without a visit to the female manager, who has not aged in the over 20 years I have visited this place. The crepes are outstanding and the timing of the service is impeccable. This restaurant is always busy, but if you arrive for late afternoon before the Parisians come out for dinner, you can snag a table. Fabulous place!! read more

Packed by locals at 10pm, with 10 other crepe spots in the same block? Didn't disappoint. Daughter had a banana, chocolate crepe. Lots of fun with a little rum flambé showmanship tableside. read more

We loved this place. The food was great and the service was excellent. The ambiance was so nice. read more

Seems to be the most famous of the Breton creperies around it in the Montparnasse area, thus you need to be prepared to stand inline for a while. They have an 'American' focus on turning tables so the wait is not as bad as it may seem. Crepes, good. I had spinach/goatcheese adn something for main with A calvados/apple compote flambeee for desert. Both good. Worth the 20 minute outside wait in the cold and the rushed/american service ? My wife and kids things so. read more

Recommend by a Parisian! There's lots of crepe spots close by but this is the best spot! They have savory and sweet! I recommend the chocolate crepe with whipped cream, it was so buttery and perfect! It is paired with a brut cider (it's dry, bubbly, not too sweet) which went well with the crepe! It's loud, busy, and full of energy! read more

The best crepes I've ever had. This is the 4th crepe I've had in Paris, and all of the previous ones have been mid. I never crave for crepes, but after coming here, I will. Tried a savory and sweet one. I HIGHLY recommend the maraîchère or any crepe with bacon. The lard brings so much flavor! Most importantly, they do not skimp on the filling!!! Every single bite was packed with spinach, cheese, and egg. There is usually a line but so worth the wait. Service is fast once inside. I will be back. read more

This is a long time favorite of ours. Josselin features a huge assortment of Brittan style crepes. My favorites are the bacon, egg, spinach and cream cheese and the Martinique which comes out Flambe. Upon arrival you will get in line there is almost always a line. It moves very fast so don't worry! When called you will be shoe horned into the smallest table and seating area you have seen. This seems to just add to the ambiance and charm of the place. I ordered the the bacon, egg, spinach and cream cheese first. I was a little reluctant to order the Martinique for desert fearing they might consider me an American pig however when the Frenchman who had the same crepe as I, ordered another for desert, I felt at ease and ordered mine. These Crepes are amazing and I place this on a "MUST VISIT" list if you go to Paris. For those of you on a tight budget this is your dream come true!! read more

I do not recommend this place at all. Probably the worst service I have ever received. Server was an older woman, who was not friendly, pleasant and clearly did not like Americans. She knew zero English, which I feel like you really need to try hard not to learn it, especially working at a restaurant that often has tourists coming through. She served several ppl who sat after us, while leaving us waiting. Food was ok, nothing special. We only got savory... she never came back to us, table next to us had sweet crepes and then after coffees... and they had sat 10 mins after us... so while we would of ordered more we were ignored. read more

Very busy crêperie despite being on the same street as many others so I wasn't surprised that it took a while before our server took our orders. But once we ordered, all the crepes came within 10 minutes. Lots of locals were in the restaurant so I think it's safe to say that it's not a tourist trap. Give it a try! read more

A place known only for crepes so it was very good. I generally love crepes so anywhere in France would be very authentic to try it out. The batter is so rich and so is their toppings which makes it delicious. The one I ordered was a caramel one which came with a vanilla ice cream inside and it tasted so good. They also have savory crepes which im not a big fan of. The quantity for wine in France was in Centi liters which was very confusing at the beginning. Apart from that, service and ambience was great. read more

One of the best crêperies in Paris because of the quaint atmosphere, great service, flavorful food, and tasty cider! It may get busy here during peak hours so prepare for a little wait. The whole street is full of crêperies but this is the one that's most commonly packed. You can't not try both a savory and sweet crêpe, so maybe come in a group so you can try multiple dishes with less guilt. Don't forget to wash it down with some cider on tap served in a cute little pitcher. This is a gem in Paris that everyone should check out! read more

My husband and I have decided when I return from my Paris trip it's time to start a diet. We have overindulged the last couple of years and getting a little thicker than we like. So for my last hurrah, I decided for dinner, I'd have traditional Breton crepes. It was difficult deciding which of the many creperies to stop at, there are so many on this little stretch of road. La Creperie de Josselin looked perfect, with its antiquated wooden facade, the perfect ambiance. I was warmly greeted as I was sat in the back corner. I went with the Jambon et Fromage on Buckwheat. I was served in no time. The crepe had the perfect crustiness and warm melty cheese. Of course I had a sweet cider to accompany it. Every bite was better than the one before. Since this was my last big meal, I had to have a dessert crepe. This was a tough decision as they all sounded wonderful. I went with one of the Specialties of the house, the Tartin. It did not disappoint. The stewed apples (think warm, cinnamon applesauce) buttery toffee, sandwiched in a traditional sweet crepe, topped with Chantilly cream was the best dessert I've had in a long time. A perfect ending to a perfect meal. It makes me want to rethink going on a diet. Get here early for dinner, as I left there was a long line waiting to get a table. read more

When in Paris, it's a must to enjoy some authentic French crepes. I stumbled upon this quaint restaurant in Montparnasse. When we arrived, the staff warmly greeted us and were seated right away. It was late in the afternoon so it wasn't too busy. The interior is small as with most eateries in the city. The staff speaks English so it was easy to place our order. They have tons of options from sweet to savory crepes. We opted for one nutella and one with stewed apple, walnuts and almonds. The crepes are paper thin and so delicious. I enjoyed my afternoon snack with a single shot of espresso. The prices are reasonable and this spot caters to tourists. read more

We had dinner here after a full day of sightseeing and it was worth the extra bit of walking to get to it. The inside is bustling and fast moving. You need to know what you want from the menu quickly. We had gluten free dinner crepes - mine with chicken and mushrooms (to die for) and my son had something with ham and cheese and loved it. The waiter we had was adorable and kind. He helped me with my frenchlish and even charged my phone for me in the back. I will go back any time I'm in Paris for sure! read more

Quaint spot that prepares your food in minutes. They also have the menu in both English and french, which is nice. The portions are very big, so come hungry or you will not be able to finish your crepe. Staff is very friendly and I was able to just barely get by on my 5 words of french. You can tell the locals like this place too. read more

We started off with an egg ham and cheese crepe which wasn't amazing but wasn't bad. We wished it had different cheese. But the real game changer were our dessert crepes--chocolate and toffee. These were to die for! I think the toffee was better but we recommend both. The staff were also extremely friendly and everything we ordered was brought out straight from the kitchen. The coffee was really great too. We recommend the coffee cream. Definitely come here!! read more

Time after time we come to Paris, Josselin is a must visit. This was our third time in the last 7 years and nothing has changed. The buckwheat savory crepes are still to dream about and causes one to not eat any other crepe anywhere ever. The fillings always taste fresh and a good blend. The sweet pastries are just the right amount of filling to crepe. The servers are very pleasant. It was like returning to a neighborhood cafe. Don't bother stopping at any of the other 30 creperies in the neighborhood! read more

We came on a Saturday night about an hour before closing and we were seated within 5 minutes. This place was absolutely hustling and bustling with people. Ordered the buckwheat crepe with egg, ham, and gruyere cheese. My favorite crepe of all time! It's like doubly wrapped and extra crispy on the edges. It had plenty of filling in every bite as well. I think the crepe must be cooked with butter because it's incredibly soft. We also ordered the normal crepe with chestnut. This was a novelty especially cause the chestnut was a sweet paste spread evenly throughout. Certainly not as good as the savory crepe, but not too sweet and basic for a non-savory crepe. Also ordered a pitcher of the dry cider. It was probably enough cider for 6 glasses. Not a particularly hard cider and not too sweet either. Food came out within 5 minutes after we ordered and we finished eating it within 10 minutes. Super quick especially for French standards. read more

I have been going to Josselin for 20 years. My most recent experience was in late August. It's still quaint and unintentionally charming. The crepes are still delicious! I'm never disappointed. read more

Meh. Don't understand the popularity; strikes me as a bit of a gimmick for a brick-and-mortar restaurant. I ordered my crepe with egg, ham, cheese, and onion. The date ordered her crepe with egg, ham, cheese, and mushroom. They were massive, they were too salty, and the cheese did not taste of the highest quality. Service was crisp. read more

I was a little hesitant to go to a creperie, I've been to one or two before and they weren't entirely my thing. I don't especially like sweet crepes, and the savory crepes that I've had were underwhelming. Josselin's is a whole different story. I loved how the edges of the crepe had a crispiness to them. These will be the standard that I now judge all future crepes. I had the Josselin (egg, ham, cheese, and mushroom) and my companion had the Maraichere (spinach, egg, bacon, cheese, and cream). Both were delicious, but I think the Josselin takes the cake. I don't typically like mushrooms that much, but the mushrooms really brought the dish together (I wonder what type of mushrooms they were). We rounded out our meal with coffee and a dry cider. All delicious, and made for a perfect meal outside in the sun. Service was friendly and fast, the fastest that we saw in Paris. read more

You're in Paris and you need a wide selection of top notch crepes: La Creperie de Josselin is where you need to be. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? La Creperie de Josselin is an adorable little neighborhood shop with some of the sweetest people you can possibly imagine. English isn't widely spoken apart from being on the menu, but you can get by, and your crepe will be out in no time once ordered. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? You'll be able to lock down a genuinely massive sweet or savory crepe at Josselin for between €9 and €12,00, and their flagship Josselin crepe ran me the latter which was a great deal. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? This was a very good crepe. The Josselin is essentially your standard ham and cheese crepe but it's followed up with mushrooms and onions as well, and the combination is a great one. Single Star. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back? I both need to come back and would be excited to do so to sample their dessert crepes that I was too full to order the first time around. Star. read more

I am not the biggest fan of crepes, but my mom insisted on going to this place, so of course the whole family went. I ordered the egg, ham, cheese, and mushroom crepe while she ordered the plain one with sugar. Surprisingly, I enjoyed both and was eager on having more. It was perfectly crisp, and it has turned me into a fan of crepes. We went just at the right time, as shortly after we were seated, there was a line forming. The service was great, and we did drink beer to go alongside with the crepes - made a wonderful pairing! read more

In Nov 2022, I came back to Josselin for the 3rd time. I was surprised by the numbers of the customers. It was substantially lower than the first two times in 2011 and 2012. The service was as good as in 2011 and 2012. However, for any reason I was not impressed by the food. I cannot even finish what I ordered. read more

Thank you David Lebovitz for recommending this creprie! This was one of the best finds on my trip to Paris. It's located a short walk from the metro station (Montparnasse), on a street full of crêperies on both sides and this is the only one which has a long line out the door. They don't take reservations so be prepared to wait. Love that their menu is in French, English and Japanese. I loved the galettes here (unlike a crêpe, which is made of a finely milled, white flour, the galette is made of buckwheat flour and consequently somewhat coarser and heartier). My husband ordered the maraîchère...spinach and crème fraîche (a staple of Breton cooking) on a galette, which is then folded into a quarter. Across this are spread a fried egg and several strips of bacon. The moment this dish came to our table, my husband had the biggest smile on his face....I knew he had ordered his version of a perfect dish! I was lucky to snag a small bite and it was really delicious. I had the one with goat cheese and walnuts and that one had too much goat cheese for me but was still delicious. We loved the food so much that we went back the following Sunday for a late lunch and the galettes /crepes were just as delicious. On our next visit, we ordered the vegetation (egg, spinach, mushrooms and cheese) and the Breton (bacon, cheese, egg). They make the galettes rest on the griddle precisely the right amount of time, so that the edges are wonderfully crispy, while the center remains soft and tender. Was amazing!! The dessert crepes were equally good but keep in mind that you have to be very hungry/greedy to eat a whole galette and then a dessert one too...but since this was going to be our last meal at Josseline, we had it all! Also, definitely try the ciders here....the traditional one had almost 6% alcohol and was pretty amazing! For me, Josselin represents the height of comfort food, French-style. Friendly service, great food, bustling atmosphere, reasonable prices....what's not to love....will definitely be back when I'm in Paris next. read more

Really can't be any better!! But go during off hours, such as 4pm, for no wait and better plating/presentation. Will post pic, but didn't take a pic of the ugly one when I returned at noon for lunch on another day. Still tasted good, just didn't look as good. Had Josselin (ham), and Paysanne (over easy egg & bacon). Also, flambé sweet crepes are heavy on the alcohol but taste great. read more

Best crepes I've ever had hands down. I'm almost embarrassed to compare this treasure to what I've eaten back in the states. The batter is made up of some type of buckwheat that causes it to have the perfect texture- just the right amount of crunch and flake with slightly charred ends. The crepe is deceptively filling as well and rather big in size. In the US, crepes would always leave me wanting more, but I here I left with a very content stomach. As the name of the place suggests, I had to order the Josselin speciality. It's made up of eggs, ham, and cheese for around $13. Service was lighting quick despite being super crowded at 10:30pm (we were lucky and somehow got a table with no wait, but no exaggeration when I'm saying this place was packed and very alive at night!!). Slight language barrier but they understood everything and the process went smoothly. In and out within 20-25 minutes. If you're in Paris, you have to stop by here. The reviews don't lie and you'll probably experience the best crepe in your life. read more

Found in crepe row near Tour Montparnasse, Yelp led me here during my first week visiting Paris. All alone with just a few key phrases of French in my back pocket, I was a bit intimidated at first but had little to fear once I got here. It was packed for dinner, but the wait outside was short. As many places in Paris the restaurant was packed to the gills, and my server pulled out a table so I could squeeze in near some other foreign travelers. My first time here I got the ham and cheese crepe, while the next time a year later with my then fiance I got the smoked salmon crepe. Both were fantastic, though I think I prefer the creaminess and smokiness of the salmon one, which helped balance the strong wheat flavor found in the buckwheat crepe. It's definitely a different flavor profile than the pancake batter crepe you might be used to. The crepes were good sized, and you don't end up paying a crazy amount. Service was what you'd expect in Paris. When I was alone, I did appreciate how they quickly brought my check when I was finished up. Guess it was pretty apparent how American I was? Didn't get a chance to try any dessert crepes here, but the savory ones are definitely an experience worth going out of your way for. read more

When in Paris, gotta try as many different crepe dishes as possible! I ordered the chicken with spinach, tomatoes and cheese crepe and wife had the salmon crepe. Both tasted simply amazing! Crepes were cooked the French way: a bit "stiff" but not overcooked. Also ordered Chaud/Froid (Glace vanilla, flambé) dessert which was totally superb! Now this is the type of crepes I'm used too in the the U.S. read more

If you want authentic crepes you need to find yourself at Josselins. As you stroll down the street you will see this is the street of crepes, café and shops are all creperies down the road. You may see, as we did that most are bare with no or few customers, those in the know, head to Josselins. The place is packed, often a line out the door. We hit it during the sweet spot time and seated right away. They may speak English here, but you'd never know. Don't expect it, be kind and try your best to order in French. I took French for several years through HS and college and fumbled my way through France. Anyway, we ordered one sweet one savory. The savory is a buckwheat style crepe which I was unfamiliar with and had never had before. Interesting, earthy flavor, paired with ham and swiss cheese, onion, egg, mushroom. Filling, though once we walked out the door, I thought I could put down a few more! I noticed many order one, then another, then another. :) The sweet crepe with walnuts, and honey was more familiar in taste. The atmosphere, vibe was lively and decorated with what you would expect an old time café/restaurant in Paris would look like. The tables are packed. As you may notice in France all seating at restaurants are very close. Our dining experience was interrupted several times by pulling out tables, pushing tables, chairs over, seating more people. Part of the charm and atmosphere of the place. As you enter and leave you can spot the crepe masters at the griddle pounding out and stacking the crepes. The stack had to be several inches to a foot high! This was a great authentic creperie to stop at in Paris. We did grab crepes near the Eiffel Tower, these aren't that type of crepe, they are soft, refined, delicate, traditional crepes. Think carnival fair treat vs. refined restaurant sweet. read more

My favorite type of crepes are bretonne style crepes, which are made with buckwheat and by nature, are also gluten-free (despite the word "wheat" in buckwheat). They have a pretty large selection of savory and sweet crepes, along with beer, wine, and cider. The crepes are pretty filling, and pretty reasonably priced for the generous amount of filling, and the quality of the crepes. We came around 2:30/2:45 pm, so we didn't have to wait in line, but I can imagine that if you come during peak time, you may have to wait for a table. The menu is in English, French and Japanese, so you shouldn't have too much of a problem deciphering what to order, other than to narrow down your decision because there are so many options. If you're claustrophobic and don't like eating directly next to someone, you may want to go elsewhere, because most the tables are literally pushed together for one long table. We got 2 different savory crepes - the crepes were thin, light and crispy. They definitely know what they are doing! The fillings were plentiful and fresh. - Josselin (Oeuf, Jambon, Fromage, Champignon / Egg, Ham, Cheese, Mushroom) - I loved this one, very traditional with the egg, ham and cheese. It was filling, decadent, and each bite was perfect. I would definitely recommend this and I would order again next time I go. - Galinette (Poulet, Fromage, Champignon, Creme / Chicken, Cheese, Mushroom, Cream) - This one was slightly more dry to me - the chicken was good, but I preferred the one with egg, ham, cheese and mushrooms better. It was good, but I think I'll get something else next time and keep trying their other flavors. The turnover here is fairly quick and the food comes out quickly. We were done in about 45 min to an hour, it was really fast. Cash only - there are signs all around the restaurant that they don't take credit cards. I'm sure the dessert crepes are equally as delicious - we had eaten too many croissants and desserts for breakfast & lunch prior to coming here so we didn't have room for a sweet crepe. Overall, best crepes I've had so far (I've lived in the south of France for a few months now and eaten a fair share of crepes) and worth going here. It's close to the train station so start and/or end your trip here if you're taking the train in and out of Paris. read more
