Lulu Crêperie: the king of indulgent street food crêpes in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris

At the Marché des Enfants Rouges in Paris, Lulu Crêperie delights diners with its huge, indulgent Breton galettes. Located in the 3rd arrondissement, this street food spot serves up generous, flavorful crepes from Tuesday to Sunday—perfect for a quick, tasty bite.

If you're on the hunt for a top-notch Breton galette in the Marais, head over to the Marché des Enfants Rouges. Since February 2025, Lulu Crêperie has taken over the spot formerly occupied by Alain Miamam, serving up galettes and crêpes with a street-food twist—totally decadent. At the helm is Lucien (hence the name Lulu), a Paris native raised in Nantes who knows his way around authentic Breton crêperies.

What immediately strikes you at Lulu is the generous portion sizes. The galettes are impressively large, overflowing from the packaging with hearty toppings that turn each into a full, satisfying meal. Lucien was trained in Brittany by Jean-Philippe Moy, a crêpe master who teaches a specialized course near Vannes. This training helped him explore various types of buckwheat and source his organic flour directly from La Minoterie Le Rouge, which still mills on traditional stone.

Where do Lulu Crêperie’s ingredients come from?

Lucien’s approach is centered around carefully selected ingredients. The organic buckwheat flour is sourced directly from Brittany, just like the craft cider from Sorre Cider House in Saint-Malo. For produce, he partners with Mario, the market’s trusted fruit and vegetable seller. And as for the onion confit and other preparations, everything is prepared in-house. This commitment to quality ingredients truly makes a difference on the plate.

On the menu, you'll find classic pancakes like the Lou (white ham, Emmental cheese, lamb’s lettuce) priced at €10 or the Mazou (goat cheese, honey, lamb’s lettuce) also at €10. But the filled versions are truly worth trying. The Loulou features white ham, an egg, roasted mushrooms, Emmental, and lamb’s lettuce for €13. The Lilou takes a Mediterranean approach with Serrano ham, mozzarella, basil-stuffed stracciatella, and red pesto sauce for €13.50. Meat lovers will enjoy the Titou, a spiced beef pancake with red Cheddar and homemade caramelized onions for €14, while the Pilou offers a creative take on Guéméné sausage with an egg, caramelized onions, Emmental, and a mustard-honey cream.

Don’t miss the Milou for €14.50, topped with smoked salmon, lemon-infused cream cheese, chives, and lamb's lettuce. It’s a fresh, well-balanced pairing that offers a refreshing twist away from the more traditional pancakes. On the sweet side, the crêpes stay simple but hit the mark: butter and sugar for €3.50, butter, sugar, and lemon for €4, or Nutella for €5. A bit more creativity in this section would have been welcome, but the savory galettes more than make up for it.

What dining options are available?

Lulu offers two appealing options. The Tradi deal at €14.90 includes a simple galette (either Lou or Mazou), a traditional crêpe, and a drink. The Garni option at €18.90 allows you to choose any galette from the menu, along with a crêpe and beverage. It's a great value for a satisfying meal right at the Marché des Enfants Rouges.

On the drinks menu, you'll find bottled water and classic sodas (€2.50), as well as artisanal Sorre apple juice (€4), organic Jomo iced tea (€4.50), and, of course, Sorre craft ciders—doux, brut, or rosé—at €5.50. Perfect for pairing with a traditional Breton galette made to perfection.

The vibe is relaxed, in tune with the lively market atmosphere. Orders are placed at the counter, and you pick up your large galette before settling on one of the benches at Marché des Enfants Rouges to enjoy it right there—no need to wander off into the surrounding streets. Service is quick and friendly, though shortages may occur during busy times. Lucien honestly admits that by the end of the day, they sometimes run out of galettes, a clear sign of this spot's popularity.

What sets Lulu apart from other crêperies is its perfect blend of tradition and modernity. The batter is crafted following Breton culinary standards, using organic Breton flour ground on stone to deliver a genuine sarrasin flavor. But it's the toppings that truly stand out, with daring combinations like spiced beef or red pesto sauce. Despite their generous portions, the presentations remain visually appealing, reflecting Lucien's commitment to showing that a galette can be both beautiful and incredibly tasty.

In short, if you're on the hunt for a great crêperie in the 3rd arrondissement, why not give Lulu a try and let us know your thoughts? We were pleasantly surprised—not just by the generous portions, but also by the high quality of the galettes, which are truly delicious.
