Sarava Creperie

Crêpes with Brazilian flair

Sarava Creperie is Brixton's one-stop-shop for French crêpes with a Brazillian twist. They have plenty of creative savoury options, like king prawn cajun, egg ranchero and Juanito, which is black beans with piquillo peppers, courgette, vine tomato, white onions, guacamole and parsley.

Straight from Brittany

The crêpes and galettes served at Crêpes à la Carte are as authentically French as you're going to get in London. The organic ingredients are imported from Brittany, where both of the crêperie's owners are from, and everything is made from scratch. It's all served out of their cute vintage Peugeot J9, Brigitte, every Sunday at Victoria Park market, where they flip a range of tasty sweet and savoury treats, like the homemade apple compote with added cinnamon and galette with homemade chocolate sauce and banana.

Claridge's ArtSpace Café

Luxurious crêpes

For bougie crêpes head to Claridge's ArtSpace Café, an elegant patisserie at the luxurious five-star Claridge's hotel. They boast a menu of signature sweet and savoury crêpes alongside croque monsieur and tortillas. Enjoy yours with a glass of champagne to really luxe out.

Crème de la Crêpe

One for the Nutella fiends

Crème de la Crêpe opened on the basis of three core principles: use quality ingredients, charge a fair price, and make sure the product tastes great, and they've done a pretty good job of that so far. Crêpes are the aim of the game here and come in an assortment of inventive flavours, such as Heinz baked beans, free-range egg and mature cheddar and Marmite-mayo, mature cheddar, sun-blushed tomatoes and rocket. Nutella fiends will love it here; they have a wide range of sweet crêpes, including Nutella and strawberries and the classic Nutella and banana.

La Crêperie de Hampstead

Around since 1980

La Crêperie de Hampstead is one of the most famous crêpe spots in the city, serving tasty, authentic French crêpes out of their cute truck next to the legendary King Williams IV pub. They have plenty of delicious options, like banana and butterscotch and maple and walnut. There's usually a pretty big queue, but it's definitely worth the wait.

Chelsea Crêperie

Crêpes with basically any filling

Daria's family encouraged her to open her own crêperie back in 2017, and she now serves Chelsea residents a delicious menu of crêpes at her Fulham Road restaurant daily. They come with basically any filling you could possibly think of, such as all-day brekky, chestnut creme, raclette, four cheese and all the classics like banana and chocolate and butter and sugar. If you're dining with someone who isn't fussed about crêpes, they also serve pastries, waffles, gelato, salads and all-day egg dishes.

Chez Lindsay

A taste of Brittany

It's all about authentic Breton cuisine at this French restaurant, Chez Lindsay. Of course, there are galettes on the menu since Brittany is one of the regions they were established in. They've got everything from the Au beurre - which is the pancake served simply with butter, so you get a taste of the delicious buckwheat without distraction. There's also oeuf fromage - egg and cheese, au lait ribot - buttermilk, and classic fromage - a galette filled with cheese. This is the sort of place you'd sit down to enjoy your meal rather than a grab-and-go situation. 

La Petite Bretagne

Brittany in Hammersmith

There's a little slice of Brittany in Hammersmith, and it goes by the name of La Petite Bretagne. This classic Breton spot specialises in sweet and savoury crêpes and galettes that come with all kinds of fillings, like four cheese, egg and bacon and chocolate and raspberries. It's ideal for a quick mid-afternoon pick-me-up or to bridge a gap between meals.

Crêpes, Coffee & Chai

Hot drinks and crêpes

Freshly made crêpes, galettes and sandwiches are in abundance at Crêpes, Coffee & Chai on Tottenham Court Road. This cute, cosy, colourful café is laid-back and on top of its crépe game, serving options like turkey ham and Emmental cheese and the classic Nutella and strawberries. They also have plenty of hot drinks, speciality coffees and tea to wash it all down with.

Brick Lane Crepe Waffle & Churros

For the sweet tooth-ers

This dainty dessert shop on Brick Lane was basically built for people with an epic sweet tooth. The menu is chock full of sugary desserts, crêpes, churros, waffles and everything and anything mega-indulgent. They also have plenty of hot drinks to wash down all the sugar.

Necos Creperie

Takeaway crêpes

If you find yourself in Canada Water, check out Necos Creperie to get your fill of tasty French crêpes. Or make the journey there just for them; it'll be worth it. They've got a range of options like halloumi with bacon and tomato and gorgonzola with walnuts and tomatoes served in a casual, takeaway setting.

Pipoca Vegan
