Au P'tit Grec on Rue Mouffetard is hands down the best place in Paris to get crepes. One of Marie's colleagues brought us here one night after we met them for drinks. It's very popular, so you almost always have to wait in a line, but it's definitely worth it. After getting crepes here we just stopped looking anywhere else because they were so good. On the savory side, you can get almost any combination of various meats, cheeses, spices that they have. We stuck with the classic "jambon fromage," which is just sliced ham and Emmental cheese. But they put a ton of cheese on each one, along with a few slices of ham, lettuce, tomato, onion. It's almost like a hoagie rolled up in a pancake. Delicious. The portions are huge.
Then they've got the sweet side covered too. You can get a crepe with chocolate sauce, Nutella, strawberry or apple preserves. Get any of those with bananas and/or topped with chocolate powder or crushed almonds. The "Nutella banane amande" is fantastic (Nutella, bananas, almonds). It's all amazing.
Their crepes are twice the size of any other crepe we saw, still reasonably priced, and they somehow always get the crepe to the perfect crispiness, which is huge in my book. Watching the guys make it in front of you is like getting a free show while you wait. Can't recommend enough. I'm going to dream about these crepes for a long time.
