La Crêperie de Josselin

About

Crêperie Josselin is an iconic Montparnasse institution, a legendary address on rue du Montparnasse that embodies authentic Breton tradition. This beloved crêperie serves generous, golden-brown buckwheat galettes in a warm, old-school dining room adorned with dark wood and Breton lace. Signature dishes include the classic « complète » (ham, cheese, egg) and the « couple » (two layers of galette with filling in between). Sweet crêpes feature indulgent variations: salted butter caramel flambéed with calvados, Nutella-banana, or chocolate-banana-coconut ice cream. The atmosphere is lively and unpretentious, often bustling but genuinely welcoming. Dry farmhouse cider flows freely, perfectly complementing the meal. Generous portions and affordable prices make this a reliable, authentic expression of Breton culinary heritage in Paris.
