Even with the travel restrictions, we have the privilege to take our taste buds on a journey within our sunny island. Yet, the <\/span>fomo<\/span><\/i> definitely still kicks in especially after binge-watching the entire season of <\/span>Emily in Paris<\/span><\/i> in one sitting. Oh, just the thought of indulging in sweet, dessert French crepes makes one drool! This is why we\u2019ve sourced out some cafes with French crepes and galettes in Singapore to explore while we hold tight for season three of <\/span>Emily in Paris<\/span><\/i> to premiere!

What is the difference between French crepes and galettes?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Many might be unaware of this, but there actually is a difference between crepes and galettes. In fact, the French are very particular about distinguishing the two!<\/span><\/p>\n

Both crepes and galettes originate from Brittany in Northern France and the preparation is largely similar. The main distinction lies in the fact that crepes are made with wheat flour and are enjoyed as a dessert. <\/span>Have \u2018em plain, stuffed with chocolate and fresh fruits or filled with ham and cheese for a savoury nibble! <\/span>Galettes, on the other hand, tend to be served as savoury mains and are made with buckwheat flour. Lucky for us, there are a number of French cafes in Singapore where we can savour these!<\/span><\/p>\n

Best French crepes and folds in Singapore<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. French Fold<\/h3>\n

Did you know that \u2018French Fold\u2019 refers to the technique of folding papers into smaller quarters? Aptly named, French Fold is a dining establishment in Singapore specialising in the likes of French crepes and galettes. Their menu is kept straightforward, with savoury galettes comprising one section and sweet crepes on another.<\/span><\/p>\n

For savouries, No.04 ($17) and No.08 ($17) come highly recommended. The former galette is one that all cheese lovers will surely appreciate. Meanwhile, the latter is a much creamier rendition that comprises pork pancetta executed carbonara-style, topped with fresh spinach, onions and an egg. End your meal with a dessert crepe, with options including the No.15 ($8) which sees the thin-pancake drizzled with homemade salted caramel and the No.18 ($10) which comes with hojicha sea salt gelato!<\/span><\/p>\n

Address: 204 Telok Ayer Street, S(068640)<\/span>
\n<\/span>Opening Hours: Daily, 8am \u2013 10.30pm<\/span>
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

2. Entre-Nous Creperie<\/h3>\n

You know you\u2019re in for the real deal when the cafe prides itself as a traditional Brittany creperie. This quaint family-run restaurant is said to serve one of the best authentic French crepes and galettes in Singapore!<\/span><\/p>\n

Their galettes are made using <\/span>buckwheat flour<\/span><\/a> imported from Brittany, France. Despite the premium quality, all items on the menu are kept rather affordable at below $25 each! Unsure of what to order? Surely you can\u2019t go wrong if the food item is named after the restaurant, so perhaps the chef\u2019s recommended Entre-nous Galette ($21.90) might be a good choice. This is one of the best-selling items and it comes with avocados mashed with cream and garlic, prawns and tomatoes! Diners can expect a flavour bomb with earthy, sweet, savoury and briny flavours in a single mouthful. For dessert, the Entre-nous Sweet Crepe ($9.90) is kept simple, featuring just a wheat crepe topped with homemade salted butter caramel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Address: 27 Seah Street #01-01, S(188383)<\/span>
\n<\/span>Opening Hours:
\n<\/b><\/b>Tue – Fri: 12pm \u2013 2.30pm, 6pm – 9pm

\n<\/span>Sun: 11am – 4.30pm<\/p>\n

3. Gather<\/h3>\n

Located just a stone\u2019s throw away from Entre-nous Creperie is Gather, a minimalist French crepe cafe in Singapore that serves traditional crepe alongside hearty mains and <\/span>brunch<\/span><\/a> fare. Their menu for their galettes and crepes is selective but that does not mean that they don\u2019t whip up one of the best renditions around!<\/span><\/p>\n

For first-timers looking for something filling, the Off The Bone ($18) will be your best bet for galettes in Singapore. This savoury thin-pancake is Gather\u2019s spin on the usual ham and cheese sarnies, as it comes with classic ham, gruyere cheese, cheddar and a runny egg. Pay them a visit and you might understand why they\u2019re crowned as the best few French crepe and galettes cafes in Singapore.<\/span><\/p>\n

Address: Raffles Arcade, 328 North Bridge Road, #01-12, S(188719)<\/span>
\n<\/span>Opening Hours:
\n<\/b>Mon – Fri: 8am – 6pm

Chefs here stick to the traditional French cooking techniques and they serve just about anything you\u2019d expect a French restaurant to. Think <\/span>French onion soup<\/span><\/a> and burgundy escargots! But what you should be keeping your eyes peeled for would be the Lez Crepes Suzette ($26). L\u2019Angelus\u2019 French crepe is truly one of its kind in Singapore, as it is made with orange juice and Grand Marcier liquor. They prepare this dish by the table and the stunning cooking spectacle is sure to get you excited about digging into your dessert!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Le Cafe Diabolo at Newton is helmed by French duo Caro and Vero. The cafe is rather unassuming and quaint and truly gives off the French cafe vibe (<\/span>bonjour<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Emily in Paris<\/span><\/i>) which is hard to come by in Singapore. They offer plenty of traditional French fare from croissants to <\/span>waffles<\/span><\/a>, and of course, crepes and galettes!<\/span><\/p>\n

Nothing beats escaping the hustle and bustle of town and simply relishing a savoury galette for brunch.

Have a beach day lined up or looking to book a <\/span>staycation<\/span><\/a> at Sentosa? Before taking out your <\/span>sunglasses<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>picnic mats<\/span><\/a> at the beach, head over to Le Faubourg, a French cafe that dishes out authentic French cuisine.

If you are feeling adventurous, get the Abbesses ($25) which is predominantly savoury from the Parisian ham and cheese but also slightly nutty from the artichoke tapenade! Remember to also save some stomach space for dessert crepes, which come served with whipped cream for a truly delightful and authentic French crepe experience in Singapore.<\/span><\/p>\n

This bistro first started out as a grocer in Orchard. Its success saw the brand\u2019s expansion \u2013 including an outlet at DUO Galleria. The kitchen team at So France works very closely with artisanal producers from Southwestern France and assures that only the finest ingredients go into the making of their authentic French grub.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If crepes are what you are hankering after, pop by one of their outlets on a weekend for brunch. Their weekend brunch menu sees an array of both sweet and savoury crepe options that will not disappoint. If your intention is to head over for dinner or during the weekdays, they may not serve crepes but you\u2019ll be pleased to find plenty of authentic French fares such as Bouillabaisse ($45) and Duck Confit ($34). This is on top of over 100 varieties of wine!<\/span><\/p>\n
