Dropped in for a quick dinner. We both ordered the crepe with chicken, mushrooms, potatoes and cheese. The crepes are huge. But very good. Service was quick when you reminded them of what you had asked for previously. We sat outside but the inside looked very cozy. There's a whole street of creperies. Will definitely try some of the others before going back to this one. read more

Popular place but efficient staff. Delicious crepes. Crispy edges and delicious fillings! Would definitely go again!

average price: 9,90€ for sweet crepes. i think closer towards 12,00€ for savory crepes. i don't know if this is always the case, but it gets packed right after work hours. it is a tight space, so you want to be mindful of where you step! they make use of every square footage here. nevertheless, if you find a seat for yourself, you will enjoy just about anything on their menu --- from sweet to savory crepes! i recommend a scoop of vanilla ice cream to pair off the sweet crepe. and the coffee is a sure cherry on top. tip: make your wallet or a change of 15,00€ to 25,00€ (or more) easily accessible for an easier exit when you are done with your meal. bon apetit! read more

Le Petit Josselin - slivered almond crepe with vanilla ice cream for 9,50€ - Creperies Near Me - Paris, 75

We were looking for an authentic creperie while we were visiting Paris so we asked our concierge and they recommended this place and said it was the best that he knew of. It's quite a walk from the hotel but worth it. It's down a street full of creperies and this was the only one with a line outside of it. It gets quite crowded as it's small but worth the wait. *Their crepes are double crepes and made with wheat - a huge plus for me! *Saumon Fume (smoked salmon, lemon & creme) was delicious. Not too salty at all and you add as much lemon & creme as you want. *My cousin ordered the Josselin (eggs, ham, cheese, mushrooms) and loved it. The only thing that she would change is that they used canned instead of fresh mushrooms. *They come around and ask you if you want dessert once you finish your meal. We ordered the Montquaise (banana, chocolate, rum & coconut ice cream) and they flambe it as they walk to the table. Delicious! And it arrived in less than 5 mintues! *Each crepe is about 8-11 Euros each. Definitely worth the walk from the Louvre but there are metro stations near it (Montparness is one of them). Would recommend this to others.. but it's closed on Sundays. read more

Just to give you the background on the situation... I am an American that came to Paris with my Mom & sister on our vacation. I spent a summer in Paris as an intern with much of my personal time in Levallois Perret, but it was a little far to try to track down my favorite crêperie in my old town since we wanted a quieter less expensive area to stay in and opted for Montparnasse. But my point bring that I am familiar with real french food, and I do speak French. Enough about me, now to the review: While we were hoping to go to Crêperie Josselin (since it had such great Yelp reviews) they we closed for summer holiday, so Petit Josselin was a nice second option which did not close for holiday. The service was very friendly and I even notice them accommodating Americans that did not even attempt to use ANY French (merci, s'il vouz plait... the basics) and they accommodated them with a very positive demeanor. I consider this to be exceptional service in a small town in Paris! Most local places will get very rude with Americans that can't speak any French. I got the crêpe Josselin avec Roquefort, my sister got the Josselin, and my mom got the sausage crêpe avec champignon. (Roquefort is a very strong blue cheese, champignons are mushrooms, and the Josselin came with egg, cheese, ham, and mushrooms) Adding any additional ingredients is 2€ extra. We also ordered a large bottle of cider and a sweet citron crêpe (lemon). The dessert crêpe was my favorite!! The low down is the savory crêpe was very tasty although much more greasy and crispy than the crêpes I am used to. The moment you walk into this very tiny restaurant you can smell sautéed butter. A delicious smell, but can be somewhat overwhelming! I am more used to a crêpe being a thin pancake, not a greasy flour chip. Nonetheless it was very tasty and the dessert crêpe with 3 espressos made the meal! My last comment that I eluded to, is the size of the restaurant. It is tiny! My mom & sister hand to lean forward so as not to hit their head on the very large wooden decoration on the wall and you are very very close to the other patrons and servers as they move around. Since you are in Europe, and EVERYTHING is smaller thus did not bother us, but it could bother some who aren't used to it. Overall, this place had good food, very friendly service, and an adorable personality to it. I would like to try other crêperies on the block (since there are many) but I wouldn't hesitate to go back if the opportunity presented itself. read more

When I was flying en route to Paris, I met a really nice French couple who gave me a bunch of places to see and food places to try. One of them said that for the best crêpe, you have to go to rue du Montparnasse where crepes were originated before spreading out to various areas. It seems that way because when I walked there, both sides of the street as well as the next street over were filled with several crêpe places to choose from. And since my flat was not too far from the street, I definitely made sure I stopped by. We ordered the combo where you get a savory buckwheat version which is called a galette and the salted caramel crêpe for dessert afterwards. And since the traditional way of eating crêpes was with apple cider, we ordered that as well. When in Paris! The galette was crispy and so tasty and the crêpe was a bit too sweet but still just as good. I was pleasantly surprised that I liked the apple cider since I'm not usually a fan of apple juice or cider. Depending on when you go, you may need to wait a little bit outside since the place is pretty tiny so go early! A must try if you're in the area. read more

I came here my first night in Paris, because the friend I was visiting lives nearby. Josselin is apparently a famous crepe place, and Le Petit Josselin is a smaller extension of that place just a few doors down. We chose to come here instead of the original because the original had a line down the block, even at 10 pm. I had La Gallinette, which had chicken, chevre (goat cheese), tomatoes and spinach, I think. The ingredients were incredible and tasted very fresh. The crepe itself was good but not the best I've ever had. It was a little greasier than I prefer. We also shared a chocolate dessert crepe and it was outstanding. I like the texture and taste of the batter they use for the sweeet crepes more than the buckwheat batter they use for the savory crepes. By the way, there are a lot of crepe places on this street and my friend says you can't go wrong at any of them - so if you are in the mood for crepes I definitely recommend walking along this street until one creperie catches your fancy. read more

It's rare for me to eat in a crêperie in Paris, as my partner has exposed me to the real thing in Brittany--and at a quarter of the price. That said, I don't make it to Brittany as often as I'd like, and sometimes I crave a good crêpe. Le Petit Josselin is one of many on the rue du Montparnasse. Just like the others, it has tiny wooden tables that make you bump elbows with your neighbor, a whole host of options for crêpes and galettes that make your mouth water, and the usual pitchers of cider. When I studied abroad here years ago, I tested most (if not all) of the crêperies on this street, but the only one I remember is the Petit Josselin. You should only come here if you're extremely hungry. Craving tomatoes, mushrooms, and cheese, I ordered the vegetarienne and could barely finish it. It looked as though the chef had taken a square meter of buckwheat, stuffed it with the ingredients, and folded it over several times. It was that large. With much time and a little pitcher of cider, my girlfriend and I finished our giant galettes and decided, upon seeing the chocolate-covered crêpe next to us, that it would be a shame to pass up on dessert, no matter how full we were. We split the beurre-sucre and it was just fine. It felt wrong to pay 16€ for such a meal, where just four hours away I could get the same meal (with a larger pitcher of cider and a dessert crêpe by myself!) for under 10€. But if I happen to need a fix and can't take a train to Pontivy or Carantec, I'd come back here. read more

This is our first visit here. We had been to "sister" restaurant Josselin, but they were closed today. This location, 2 doors down, is even smaller and you will definitely get to know your neighbors! The variety of savory crépes is extensive, as is the sweet selection. This time I had a savory with cheese, potatoes, mushrooms and chicken. My husband and I also shared a bottle of cider, which is a must with the savory crépes. We were too stuffed for sweet crépes today, but the other patrons enjoyed theirs, especially the ones that have alcohol and get "lit up" by the servers. Speaking of servers, they were very friendly and spoke English well. Bonus- this location takes credit cards (15€ min) while the original does not. read more

What is the most delicious thing on Earth? Crepes from Le Petit Josslin. On a street with about 15 creperies, this was the only one people were willing in line up in the rain for. So we did too and we did not regret it! Best thing I've probably ever eaten in my life. read more

Hands down, my favorite place to eat in Paris. A friend of ours who lives in the neighborhood took us there a couple of years ago and now we are HOOKED! It's tiny and there's often a wait, but it is worth it. My husband, teenaged son and I always look forward to a night at Le Petit Josselin and try to do a lot of walking and sometimes even a few games of tennis before going there just so we don't feel too guilty about the indulgence! I often have the Galinette dinner crêpe (chicken,potatoes,spinach,tomatoes) and the salted caramel crêpe for dessert. That is a much bigger meal than I ever eat, but it is usually only a once a year treat. It's a truly authentic place -- never see tourists there. Can totally picture my son bringing his kids there in 20 years! read more

I like butter! I like crepes! Le Petit Josselin, in the heart of Little Brittany (as we named the area) churns out awesome crepes in a tiny little restaurant. Order cider. read more

Had the best dinner here after reading reviews on Yelp. Egg, bacon and onion galette was absolutely amazing. The homemade toffee crepe was amazing. Also tried the house cider and it was also wonderful. We got a table outside and enjoyed the views. Popular place, and will worth it. read more

Best crepes I have ever had in my life, and believe me, I LOVE CREPES! I ordered the lemon crepe, as basic as it gets, and it was amazing. Staff are very nice as well, although at times it seems like it's a get-in and get-out sort of place (fast service). Highly recommended! read more

This place features food that is typical of Brittany. I had the crepe with sausage and tomato. They have a number of choices so you can find one you like. read more

I went to this place in 2013 and it was fantastic! It was totally Parisian... They had to move an entire table to get people seated because the place was so small and you literally were sitting so close to someone so that if you moved you would bump into them! Definitely an experience that was wonderful because it was totally Parisian! The place was packed with locals and away from the tourist scenes, so it was a pretty good experience for someone who isn't from France. The food was really good too ! I ordered an orange juice to start. Everyone else at other tables were ordering hot cider, so that must have been really good, but I personally can't comment in it. I got a crepe with chicken, tomatoes, onions, and cheese which was really good. The best non-dessert crepe I've ever had to be more specific. The portion sizes were massive!!! 2 people could easily share one crepe! The prices were totally affordable too, like actually having a normal meal that wasn't a rip in your pocket. I cannot wait to have a chance to come back and have a meal at this place sometime in the near future. :) read more

Yumm! This place is good. I had wanted to go to Crêperie Josselin but it was ridiculously full with a line going out the door so we opted for another creperie down the street. We passed by Le petit Josselin and thought why not. I can't remember the name of the crepe I got but it had potatoes, chives, cheese and a choice of ham or bacon. I ordered bacon but they gave me ham. When I told them the mistake, she brought over a plate of bacon to add to my dish. NOM CITY. We also got a pitcher of cider to go with the meal. All delicious. Definitely recommend! The staff is very friendly as well. read more

Great little spot for crepes. We were staying in the Montparnasse neighborhood, so of course, we had to get crepes here, which is known for their crepes. We ordered one of the savory crepes which has spinach, bacon, cheese, and an egg on top. It was very tasty, and I liked the texture of the crepe itself as well. For dessert, we ordered the crepe with an apple compote and speculoos cookies. It was not too sweet, which was perfect. We also ordered half a liter of their cider, which was delicious as well. There are lot of crepe places in the area, so I'm glad we chose this one. read more

Excellent breakfast experience! I had the sausage/cheese crepe and shared the chocolate crepe to top it off. Nice and quaint, this place was a great find in Montparnasse. Be warned - if you get there after 12:30/1pm then you are going to be waiting outside.. read more

Pretty good and not too expensive. We payed 28 Euros for to galettes and half a liter of french dry apple cider. One should be aware that the fare is relatively rich. read more

Really a good surprise this little restaurant, I ordered a crepe campagnarde, it was delicious. The waiter were very friendly. We had a couple of drink (dry cider). The only drawback is that the restaurant is size extra small and we were a bit packed in there. Otherwise, it was a very nice evening, in an authentic surrounding. read more

One of our best meals in Paris. We had both savory and sweet crepes, both so delicious. This creperie is on a little alleyway in the Montparnasse neighborhood with about 50 other creperies. This one (and it's sister spot) have lines and tiny dining rooms. My savory crepe had MASHED POTATOES, cheese, and the thinnest most tasty ham. Ya. Enjoy with the house cider and you'll be in heaven. Go go go. GO!!! Bon appetit!!! read more

I went here with the intention to eat at their larger restaurant down the street and have to say I was not expecting to eat such amazing food! I had a spinach/bacon/cheese/egg crepe that was to die for followed by the "rhum frambee" for dessert. If it wasn't the end of my trip I would have taken the 3 trains across town to eat there again and again! read more

Very small place, so wait can be long especially for a large group. The namesake dish Josselin was delicious but everything else was forgettable. read more

Good crepes. Actually went to the regular Josselin but was closed for 2 weeks so luckily Le petite was opened. Accept credit cards unlike the original one. Would definitely come back. I give it 4 stars due to them opening at 11:40 when it says 11:00. Very crowded by noon. We got there right at 11:00 but had to wait since they opened 40 mins later. Small restaurant about 12-15 tables. read more

The street is lined with creperies - we picked this one and WOW! Such a cute place and everything was so tasty.

My favorite creperie in Paris! situated on pretty much the creperie street in the 6th arrondissement, it has a fair share of competition but is worth the line up if there is one. The menu has a great selection of both sweet and savory crepes, as well as good value wines and ciders. While trying may crepes, I remain loyal to the 3 cheese one that comes with a salad, a sure crowd pleaser! read more

The galette is dame good!! Really like it ! But there are not many place so better to come early.

Delicious food, fantastic service. We went as a group of 6 American tourists speaking essentially no French and they went out of their way to seat and serve us all together in the admittedly cramped restaurant. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. He spoke to us in French and we spoke to him in English and magically it all worked out in the end. Keep in mind: the crepes that say they're "flaming" use bourbon to feed the fire and the alcohol definitely doesn't burn off all the way!! read more

This is the little brother to Creperie Josselin, about three doors down. Same owner, same menu. We were in Paris in August and Creperie Josselin was closed for the holidays so we went to Le Petit Josselin. It was fantastic. Small, cozy little place, a few seats outside on the sidewalk. All the other creperie's around it were not empty but certainly not full. This place was jam packed every night with a lineup outside and for good reason. The crepes were the best we had in Paris, especially #12 and their dessert crepes. Great friendly staff. Highly recommend. read more
