About
Crêperie de Josselin is an iconic Montparnasse institution, steps from the train station that brought Breton immigrants to Paris. For decades, this legendary address has upheld Breton tradition with authenticity and generosity. Its buckwheat galettes are served double-layered with filling in the middle—the house signature. Classics like the complète (ham, cheese, egg) sit alongside more elaborate creations. Dessert crêpes showcase salted caramel butter, Nutella-banana, or flambéed with calvados. The atmosphere is lively, popular, and sincere, with prompt, friendly service. Dry cider flows freely. No reservations, sometimes noisy, but genuinely authentic. A reliable institution where tradition is non-negotiable.
Press review
What the sources say.
Excerpts from 6 editorial mentions cross-referenced by Gatto.
“Crêperie Josselin serves some of the city’s most buttery, authentic crêpes served in an old-school dining room full of dark wood and Breton lace. Inexpensive with vegetarian options, and open on Sunday.”
parisbymouth.com “The star crêperie of the area, and the one with the longest queues, is the prettily decorated Josselin, where the speciality is the Couple - two layers of galette with the filling in the middle.”
timeout.com “One of the best, and best value meals, in Paris are crêpes. Fortunately, they’re everywhere, in restaurants, cafés, and even on the streets. If you’re looking for street crêpes, you’ll find many clustered in the area around the Montparnasse train station.”
