Parisien crêpes


My aunt spent a whole month in Paris so she gave me directions to the best crepe she had in her one-month stay, and to say the least, they were fantastic. A hole in the wall close to the Cluny museum, however, one of the best crepes you’ll ever eat in Paris. There was a short line, most of them being locals which was a good sign. I saw how the young guy prepared crepes for other customers and was shocked to his generosity when loading the crepes. One asked for a cheese crepe and he loaded the thin crepe with about half a kilo of cheese, I’m not exaggerating, it was loads and loads of cheese. I asked for a Nutella, banana and Gran Marnier crepe. It had a somewhat large size but good for the price of 4 euro (usually it is cheaper, but since I opted for the orange liquor the price went up a bit). About the taste…very very very yummy. The crepe was a little bit toasted which gave it a crunchy texture, and the Nutella was warm and overflowing, plus the Grand Marnier gave it a special orangey aftertaste that burned in my mouth for a while. They had tons of options in the salt and sweet side, from citron and sucre to confitures and fromages. They also had panini eventhough I did not try them,they didn't look too good behind the glass-case, perhaps crepes is their speciality. This place is located in rue de la Harpe, a small wall-stand next to the cornered McDonald’s.
