Creperie le petit Josselin
About
Crêperie Le Petit Josselin is a celebrated Parisian bakery and restaurant nestled on 59 Rue du Montparnasse, offering a sumptuous blend of Breton‑inspired crêpes and galettes. Since its founding in 1973 by a Breton émigré and his Italian partner, the establishment has become a culinary landmark that proudly champions locally sourced wheat, true Breton butter, and an array of fresh, seasonal ingredients. Guests can enjoy a menu that features classic fillings—from ham and cheese to spirulina‑infused vegetable blends—alongside a thoughtfully curated selection of vegetarian and vegan options. The charming interior exudes rustic warmth, with wooden tables, a convivial counter, and an open kitchen that showcases the authentic preparation of flat, golden‑brown crêpes. Whether dining for lunch, a late‑night snack, or a leisurely dinner, patrons are met with a relaxed atmosphere that captures the spirit of a traditional Breton family gathering. The staff greet visitors with friendly smiles and offer expertly paired drinks, including crisp white wine, sparkling lemonade, and classic French aperitifs. Beyond its delectable fare, Crêperie Le Petit Josselin prides itself on a welcoming ambiance and convenient location in the heart of Paris. Open from noon to 2:30 pm and again from 6:30 pm to 11:00 pm, Monday through Saturday, the café allows visitors to sabay a leisurely meal or a quick crumble of sweet or savory crêpe. Because the restaurant operates on a walk‑in basis yet maintains efficient service, it remains a popular hotspot for both locals and tourists seeking an authentic taste of Brittany without leaving the capital.
