I've shared about my love of crepes once before, and in Paris, they did not disappoint. In Paris, you can get crepes as street food, or you can sit in a café and order them on a plate.
Our first night in Paris, we stopped at
Crêperie de Cluny on our way back to the hotel. We were overwhelmed. You can get a crepe with anything you want: nutella, jam, booze, fruit, chocolate, cheese, ham, EGGS! Thank goodness restaurants are open so late in Paris... We decided on a nutella crepe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Heavenly.
Our second day in Paris was spent by the Louvre. I say "by" the Louvre because we did not go inside. Dustin and I decided we'd rather see more of the city, than spend most of one day inside a museum; also, I had already been to the Louvre and did not remember it being a very "Dustin" place.
We took our pictures, and then went for a nice stroll through the gardens.
We eventually caved to one of the many crepe vendors along the way, and decided to try a savoury crepe:
une crêpe salée. The ham and cheese crepe was even better than the nutella crepe from the night before. And not just because I prefer salty foods over sweet. This one was made with a cheese that was full of flavour (no mozzarella here!) and it was warmed until the crepe was just a little crispy...
Later in our trip, I had tried one more crêpe salée and it just wasn't the same. There was too much cheese (there
is such a thing) and there was no crispy crust. Instead of delicately placing it on a (paper) plate already cut in half, this crepe was rolled up into a cone shape and left to soggify in its own grease. Okay -- it wasn't that bad. Still tasty, but I fear that no crepe in the world will ever live up to my first crêpe salée experience.
i love paris crepes!! i usually get ham+cheese+mushroom and few get the mushroom:soggy ratio right. but still i eat. i want one now...mmm...
