There’s no end to our love for crepes, which is why we scoured Singapore for the finest ones.
When it comes to French desserts, we can daydream all day about macarons, eclairs, profiteroles, souffles and more. But it’s the humble crepe that has our attention (and a solid spot in our hearts). A thin, light and delicate pancake, it’s made of wheat flour for sweet treats, while galettes are made of buckwheat flour and stuffed with savoury fillings. We love having the best of both worlds, so we rounded up all that good stuff for you. Presenting the very best crepes in Singapore!
Best places for crepes in Singapore
1. French Fold
The sister brand of Merci Marcel is one of our favourite spots in Singapore when we’re craving crepes. Pop by for breakfast, brunch or dinner to bask in the casual chic ambience and savour these delish dishes. Start with the galette side of the menu for fillings like chorizo, organic sunny side up, sauteed mushrooms, French pork sausage and even Asian-influenced ones like satay or masala chicken. Don’t forget to save space for those soft crepes deliciously served with chestnut cream, raspberry jam or brown sugar and butter. We can never say no to the poached pear version with 70% Valrhona chocolate and whipped cream!

2. Entre-Nous Creperie
An authentic French creperie that has been around since 2008, this resto dishes out both savoury and sweet crepes with equal flair. Its extensive selection of galettes made with organic buckwheat flour imported from Brittany, France will have you happy and stuffed in no time. The usuals include variations on ham, cheese and egg, but we say go for the one with mashed avo, cream, garlic, prawns and tomatoes for something different. Next, move on to the sweet crepes made with simple toppings like butter and sugar, Greek honey or homemade ice cream. Wash it all down with a glass of French apple cider for the real deal.
Entre-Nous Creperie, #01-01, 27 Seah Street, Singapore 188383
3. Gather
The minimalistic eatery and lifestyle store dishes out exquisite crepes paired with a relaxed shopping experience – perfect for leisurely afternoon catch-ups. You’ve got sandwiches and baked goods to choose from, but we prefer to load up on galettes and crepes. On the savoury side, relish combinations like ham, gruyere, cheddar and egg or salami, roasted potatoes, brie and egg. Even if you’re feeling a little too full for dessert, we’d recommend you get a crepe to share. You won’t regret the burnt caramel with Bordier butter or fig jam with camembert and honey versions. Pair your meal with coffee, tea or freshly squeezed juice.
Gather, #01-12, Raffles Hotel Arcade, 328 North Bridge Road, Singapore 188719
4. Le Cafe Diabolo
For quaint French cafe vibes, head to this hidden gem. Located in Alliance Française, it’s a chill spot to spend a relaxing afternoon loading up on galettes and crepes. The ham, egg and cheese or Nutella versions are classic choices, but other options include tuna, olives, capers, egg and cheese or chorizo with egg and cheese.

5. So France
We’re big fans of this elegant French bistro for its traditional fare, fine wines and next-door gourmet store stocked with artisanal cheeses, spreads and nibbles. Who doesn’t love a little grocery shopping after a good meal, right? For the perfect weekend brunch, dig into the crepe selection. We’re eyeing the raclette cheese, bacon and caramelised onion rendition, as well as the caramelised apple and vanilla ice cream delight.

6. L’Angelus
Having been around since 1998, L’Angelus is a stalwart on the buzzing Club Street. The charming French restaurant plates out rustic, traditional fare in its cosy, high-ceilinged space furnished with vintage photos. As you find yourself transported to the streets of Paris, tuck into comfort food like seafood stew, duck confit and filet mignon. End the evening with flair when you put in an order of crepe suzette: thin crepes bathed in orange juice and flambéed to perfection with Grand Marnier liqueur.

7. Lady M
This one’s a classic. If you haven’t sunk your teeth into delicate Lady M mille crepes, well, we’re left speechless. There’s really no excuse. The popular dessert shop whips up fresh and fine crepe cakes, and its boutiques across Singapore are lovely spaces for you to kick back and enjoy an afternoon treat. Even those without a sweet tooth will love the signature mille crepes – think paper-thin crepes layered with light pastry cream. If you’re feeling adventurous, try it in flavours like strawberry champagne, blueberry cheese, pistachio, truffle chocolate and more.

French-inspired Japanese dessert parlour Henri Charpentier is a world away from your average creperie. Its palatial space features over-the-top draping, fancy seats and classy touches. While pastries are the stars, its crepe cake is no slouch. Light, thin layers are topped with fruits and available as slices or whole cakes for any special occasion.
