Crêperie Paris Breizh Daumesnil — Restaurant in Paris

I've been coming here ever since it opened because i live close by. The restaurant itself is very nicely appointed. The prices have dramatically gone up while the total weight of the crepe served has gone down. The ham, potatoes, cheese and other ingredients they put inside borders on stingy. I went back the following week and it was the same. I was also taken aback while waiting to pay. They have a new card payment system that now requests tips and the person at the counter was explaining the new system to an elderly woman in front of me and pushing her to tip.(They don't bring your bill to your table, your must get up and pay at the counter). This is France, not America. I find the practice despicable and what i witnessed left a very sour taste in my mouth. Please do better going forwards.

Edit after the owner's reply : I’m glad to see that you are at least not contradicting the “generosity” of your crepes with their cost. The problem was never the price, but how stingily they were filled.

I followed your request to come back, and this time every crepe for my party was actually filled with food and not air, a pleasant surprise.

That said, I’ve noticed you don’t seem to welcome any review that isn’t five stars. Attacking customers who raise valid points is an odd choice and doesn’t encourage...

I usually love this place but the owner/manager was particularly unpleasant today - enough to motivate me not to come back to this location. I made a mistake and forgot to order GF batter for the dessert… yes, it was my mistake but I am intolerant (i.e. I don’t eat GF by “choice”). Usually, they would have remade the crepe (I’ve been here many times), but this time she (the owner/manager) told me I had to keep it (or buy another); fine, let me eat it and be sick. The restaurant is crowded and I ordered the most expensive menu, so I doubt one remake was going to hurt the profits. For sure, it did just hurt their reputation in the neighborhood (which has other very good crepe locations - with very nice service). Such a shame because the food is really good and the servers are very nice! As a previous waitress, I know what a difference a manager can make… So the 2 stars is not for the food (or the servers) but for the poor management...

Breizh is well known Crêperie/Gallette chain in France, and I have visited atleast 2 branches including this one. I had Moréac Gallette, which is vegetarian with Black Olive tapanade (Oliver paste), Goat cheese, Green apple, Romarin (a herb) for flavour. Difference between Gallette and Crepe is that Gallette are often salty prep (with ham or egg or fish or even vegetarian, and one or two type of cheese being mandatory for any type you choose) and served as main course, whereas Crepe is sweet/dessert. The base for both is thin crest freshly made pan cake out of Sarrasin or Buck...
