PARISIEN CREPES FROM HEAVEN


Au P'tit Grec looks like your average creperie with a little bit of cheap kebab shop vibe thrown in. Getting the judgements out of the way, this creperie is far more exciting than you might assume. I found out about it in a random vlog I watched and saw a queue of no less than 50 people waiting for a galette (a savoury crepe) for tea; that's when I knew it was bound to be something special. 
This creperie is so reasonably priced, you get so much food, it's incredibly delicious and it's in a fantastic location - there's four reasons alone to visit! Nestled in the 5eme arrondissement (my favourite one), it's close to Place Monge station on line 7, but you could just as easily walk from other sites such as the Panthéon. It's located at the top of the cutest street in Paris - Rue Mouffetard - a narrow cobbled street with very French-looking shop fronts and a fountain and bunting in the square at the end.
I chose chorizo and chèvre (goat's cheese) for my galette, and salad is free too! Honestly, the hardest part was deciding which one to get - not a bad problem to have, eh?
Be aware that these take a bit of time to prepare - he adds the toppings but lets them sit on the stove for 5 or so minutes, hence long queues at busy times. Going for lunch would be a great alternative which would stop you from having to queue at dinnertime. On a Sunday (market day) at lunch, I had a wait of only a few minutes.

These crepes have been on my mind for the last three weeks, and this is definitely a spot I'll be taking any visitors to. You'll want one all to yourself they're so good - but you just might not be able to finish it, I couldn't!
