Crêperie Pen-Ty

Montmartre & Northern Paris


Consistently hailed as the best crêperie in northern Paris (it's been around since 1976), old-world Pen-Ty is well worth the detour. Book ahead to enjoy authentic Breton aperitifs like chouchen (a type of mead) and pastis marin (an aniseed and seaweed liquor), along with superb savoury galettes (made with buckwheat flour) and sweet crêpes. There is a takeaway window too.
