On a
recent trip to Paris, friends and I enjoyed incredible crêpes at Sur la
Route de Plouescat (http://surlaroutedeplouescat.fr/en), a small crêperie
in Montmartre. While there are lots of eateries near the Sacré-Coeur Basilica,
this one is located at 4 Rue Lamarck, in a residential area to the right of the
basilica where most tourists don't go.
The crêperie
has an extensive crêpe menu with at least seventeen main-course, gluten-free,
buckwheat crêpes and thirteen dessert wheat flour crêpes. In French,
the buckwheat crêpes are known as galettes de sarrasin and the wheat
flour crêpes as crêpes de froment. The galettes are originally from Upper
Brittany and the crêpes – from Lower Brittany. (The name of the restaurant
means, “On the Route to Plouescat.” Plouescat is a seaside resort town in
Brittany.)
I had
a crêpe complète (fried egg, ham, and cheese) plus onions for €8.80
($10.30) and a glass of rosé from Provence for €4 ($4.68).
My crêpe was fantastic and filling.
The
service was friendly and efficient.
The crêperie is
fairly small. We found seats when we arrived around noon, but it quickly filled
up.
