Crêperie Marie Madeleine — Restaurant in Paris

There are various Creperies in the area but we decided to skip them and walk a bit farther to come to here based on reviews. This is seriously a small stand, but the owners (a couple) are really nice. We came by almost at noon on a Saturday and they were still setting up so we seated ourselves. There are literally 4 small tables in the front for a maximum of 8 guests. There might be a small table inside as well.

The prices are reasonable and they offer both savory and sweet crepes along with sandwiches and drinks. We hadn't had crepes in Paris yet so we opted for crepes and ended up getting two egg crepes each and a chestnut cream crepe to share. I originally wanted the egg and emmental crepe but emmental is made with animal rennet so we couldn't have it.

The man was nice enough to spontaneously run across the street to get a tomato to add to our crepe. While he was working, he was conversating with locals passing by. His English was pretty decent. The crepes came out in no time once he got to it; the egg was a sunny side up with chopped tomatoes scattered throughout. It was on the crispy side but I liked it just fine and it lightly seasoned with salt and pepper.

His wife was also really nice as well though her English wasn't as good as his. She made our dessert crepe. This time, the crepe itself was soft and perfect. She realized I was going to take pictures of the food by the time so she decorated it nicely and garnished it with slivered almonds.

I honestly love this little place. If I lived in Paris, I'd definitely be a regular with the attention they give to their customers. While there, there was one other table who appeared to be locals from the way they were talking. The wife would sit down when free to talk. The kitchen area was clean and though small, I have no hesitations...

Stopped by on a Saturday at 9 pm because we were jetlagged from our flight from NYC, didn't want a full meal, but needed to eat something. We ordered on sweet and one savory. For the sweet, we did the Kinder Maxi. I don't normally love Kinder but this was pretty good. For savory, we had the chicken emmental. I thought it would be real chicken but was disappointed when the guy took out floppy pieces of deli meat chicken. I didn't really care for that part, but the cheese was really good. Both came out piping hot, since they're freshly made in front of you.

I would say that it's an okay option if you're looking for something quick and on the go. We ordered for takeaway and ate it on the walk back to our hotel, and it satisfied our slight hunger, but I'm sure there are better...

Dec 2022: Came back for late night snack. I order the same crepe (Nutella banana). Chef was very friendly and nice. He taught me how to order my crepe in French. Thanks chef! Crepe was made to order, and it was served warm. The crepe was not too sweet this time. It was perfect for this cold weather! Will come back again for sure.

Nov 2021: A small cafe located in an area that has a lot of cafes. Menu was in French. I was craving for sweet crepe. Staff was very nice that she recommended a few sweet crepe options for me, and I picked Nutella and banana. She prepared my crepe immediately after I placed an order. Crepe was hot when it was served. The dough was made perfect! It was a bit too sweet for me, but overall a very tasty crepe. Will...
