The Best Creperies in Montreal and Quebec City

Quebec has a long love affair with crêpes, helped along by French and Breton cooks who brought the buckwheat galette across the Atlantic. Both Montreal and Quebec City have crêperies serving traditional Breton galettes, many paired with Quebec cider, alongside sweet crêpes with that most Québécois of toppings: maple syrup.

Here are eight picks across the two cities, from a gluten-free market counter to old-town classics.

Updated October 2026: every place below was confirmed open from its own website, the official tourism sites (Tourisme Montréal and Québec Cité) or recent listings. Hours vary by season, so check before you go.

Montreal

Breizh Café, Plateau-Mont-Royal

3991 boulevard Saint-Laurent · lebreizhcafe.com

A traditional Breton crêperie on the Main. The savory galettes are made with buckwheat flour only, following the traditional recipe from Haute-Bretagne, so they’re naturally gluten-free. The buckwheat comes from a mill in Lanaudière, Quebec. Sweet crêpes use wheat flour, and the house salted-butter caramel is a favorite. Prices are modest. It’s closed on Sundays and keeps shorter hours on Saturdays.

Crêperie Spanel, Griffintown

1960 rue Notre-Dame Ouest · creperiespanel.ca

A neighborhood crêperie near the Atwater Market whose crêpes are named after Montreal neighborhoods. The savory crêpes are made with buckwheat and are gluten-free. There’s a back terrace that stays open into the fall, with heaters.

Crêperie du Marché, Jean-Talon Market

7070 avenue Henri-Julien (inside Jean-Talon Market) · creperiedumarche.com

A counter inside Montreal’s biggest open-air market, serving crêpes there since 2005. It describes itself as entirely gluten-free, with crêpes made from organic Quebec buckwheat flour and dishes named after places in Brittany. Plant-based milk is available. It’s an easy lunch while shopping the market.

Crêperie Chez Suzette, Old Montreal

3 rue Saint-Paul Est

A long-running Old Montreal crêperie on rue Saint-Paul since 1996, serving sweet and savory crêpes and cheese fondues. Its namesake dessert is a crêpe Suzette with an orange, Grand Marnier and cognac sauce. It’s a popular stop for visitors exploring the old port, and prices are mid-range.

Quebec City

Le Billig, Saint-Jean-Baptiste

481 rue Saint-Jean · on Instagram

A Breton crêperie-bistro just outside the old city walls, run by owners who learned the craft from family in Pontivy, Brittany. The name comes from the billig, the round griddle used to cook crêpes. The classic order is a ham-and-cheese galette with an egg, folded into four crisp corners, with a cider from its list of Breton and Quebec ciders.

Casse-Crêpe Breton, Old Québec

1136 rue Saint-Jean · cassecrepebreton.ca

A casual, busy spot in the old city where you build your own crêpe from a long list of fillings, on white or buckwheat batter. Kids can watch the cooks at the open kitchen, there are vegan options, and it’s open from breakfast to late evening. It doesn’t take reservations, so expect a line at peak times.

L’Épicurien, Avenue Maguire

1292 avenue Maguire · lepicurien-maguire.com

A crêperie and fine-food shop in the Sillery neighborhood, a short drive from the old city. Crêpes are the house specialty, including Breton crêpes made with local organic flour and the ficelles picardes, rolled crêpes baked in the oven. There are vegetarian and vegan options and a deli counter. It’s a good brunch spot, and reservations are taken online.

Le Petit Château, Old Québec

5 rue Saint-Louis · lepetitchateau.ca

A long-established crêpe and fondue restaurant right beside the Château Frontenac, open year-round. The menu offers dozens of sweet and savory crêpes along with traditional fondues. It’s more of a classic tourist restaurant than a Breton crêperie, but the location in the heart of the old city is hard to beat.
