crêperie

A crêperie is a specialized restaurant or establishment that focuses on serving crêpes. Crêpes are very thin pancakes, originating from Brittany in France. They can be made from either wheat flour for sweet crêpes (crêpes sucrées) or buckwheat flour for savory crêpes (galettes).

Crêperies typically offer a wide variety of fillings and toppings for both sweet and savory options. Sweet crêpes might be filled with fruit, jam, chocolate spread, whipped cream, or ice cream, and can be dusted with sugar or drizzled with syrup. Savory galettes are often filled with cheese, ham, eggs, mushrooms, or various vegetables, and can be served with a side salad.

The atmosphere in a crêperie can range from casual and quick-service to more formal dining. They are popular for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. Many crêperies also offer other French-inspired beverages and light fare. The concept has spread globally, with crêperies found in many countries outside of France, adapting to local tastes and ingredients while maintaining the core idea of serving crêpes.
