Lulu la nantaise

Went here spontaneously at night after being already full from dinner someplace else. The smell from here was just so good we had to get in and warm up with some Chocolat Chaud and sweet crepes. Best decision ever. The salted caramel and butter crepe was oh so good. One of the best crepes of my life honestly. Also located close to the Canal st. Martin so you can conveniently walk by the canal after such a decadent meal.

This place has set the bar for crepes for me. At least in my life, the best I've had! Both the savory and sweet were amazing! Highly recommend getting the cider too.

We visited this place twice during our trip to Paris and had a great experience both times. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. Both times savory galettes and sweet crepes were delicious.

Incredible silky crepes and all home made sauces, super cool place and people in service

Big choice of pancakes: salty or sweet. Salty one, with spinach, mushrooms, cheese, and pine nuts, had a lot of fat. Sweet one, salty caramel, wiped cream, was too much sweet. However, I liked their orange curcuma tea. Refreshing.

Really nice place, loved the crepes and galettes, service is super friendly as well. Be aware that you might get approached by beggars when sitting outside in the evening (this happened to us like 4 times over the course of one seating), so I recommend sitting inside. Area is relatively safe though, so definitely worth the trip for the food!

Very french service. The food is visually pleasing while being just as filling and wholesome. Great street atmosphere to experience if it is your first time in Paris. Right across from the canal and plenty of boutique shopping.

Even though the place is small and was crowded, the waiter did everything he can to liberate a table for 6. He happily served us one the best savory crepes in town. Their cider is also recommended

This place felt very French and maybe why I had trouble with it. I ordered a savory crepe with a regional sausage that I soon found out was intestine. There was a smell and a taste I couldn't get rid of. Not my favorite dish at all. If you don't like pig intestines, avoid the Andouille. I assumed it was a spicy sausage. Service was quick. Drinks were tasty. I don't blame the place. I should have stuck to a sweet crepe. (USA)

This was a very nice spot to get a snack after walking down the canals. We where having a hard time finding a place that was serving food between lunch and dinner and this place really hit the spot. Nice selection of food and drinks. Comfortable atmosphere and fun people watching.

Delicious galettes! Near Canal St Martin. Pleasant outdoor seating. Order dessert crepes!

I don't know why this place has bad reviews - it was amazing, they were extremely friendly. Accommodated our family with two loud kids and the crepes and coffee were a delight. We relaxed ate and went on our way. The servers were very polite and chatty.

Walking into the cozy little cafe it almost seems like you are stepping back into time or a movie set. It has that Parisian feel immediately. The staff is super friendly and service is insanely quick! The crepes come off the grill and straight to the table on what feels like minutes. The buckwheat crepes (IMHO) are the most authentic and delicious. I ordered the very classic jambon, emmenthaler cheese and egg crepe. The ham and cheese were just right and the egg - well it was cooked to perfection. Just perfect for cracking the top and dipping the crepe into that golden egg yolk goodness! Menu had a bit of humor (English menus are available) and offered plenty of both vegan and vegetarian options. A big plus for me was that many had organic (bio certified) ingredients.

Lulu La Nantaise, I love you. Quite possibly forever. I need to preface this feeling first. I'm not your typical traveler, so if you're offended easily STOP reading now. There are some people who travel outside of the US particularly and expect slightly "Frenchi-fied" versions of what they would eat in the US. What were y'all expecting? The land of the IHOP? If that's what your expectations are, pick up a book, watch the Travel Channel if reading is not your jam, and LEARN some history and respect for authentic food. With that out of my chest, moving on to the review. When we arrived in Europe we did our best to avoid the touristy places, I so desperately wanted to experience the local life. We were so fortunate enough to have an Air BnB by the Canal St Martin in the 10th Arrondisement. And so extremely fortunate for us, it was a local hub. If Tourists were to be found, it's because they got off on the wrong stop to Notre Dame, Sacre Couer, or Tour de Eiffel. Yes, we had a view of all three from our window. Walking through the busy streets of one of the most diverse neighborhoods I've seen so far in Europe, Lulu kept catching my eye. I wasn't sure at first, since, well, truthfully it was intimidating. I quickly learned that the French will immediately assume you speak French, especially in local parts, and my high school french was BARELY holding up. One night, we decided that the aroma and visuals of people eating delightful crepes was enough to help me overcome my fear. We entered and I learned that in France, there's no "waiting" per se, but rather you pick an empty spot and a waiter will attend. So we picked a spot outside and perused the menu with hungry eyes. Et voila, tout la menu was in French. No worries, Google Translate and roaming charges to the rescue. I eventually settled on a classic, only because I didn't have the energy to google translate every item on the menu. But I'm so glad I did settle on this classic. Beurre Sucre or Butter and Sugar. I ordered. A thin crepe the size of my plate arrived. The outer edges were folded in so it looked like a flat square. Wafting straight to my nose was the unmistakable smell of melted warm butter and the hint of sugar. That was one of the most heavenly bites I've ever had in my life. The closest I've come to this combination is the sugar and lemon, and while in itself is delicious, could not hold a candle to this other simple pair. Thin crepes were wonderfully brown, not crispy, and was the perfect canvas for the melted butter and sprinkling of sugar. When you bit into it, it opened your eyes why Europeans have a preference for simple flavors. Why? Because when executed perfectly it is heaven on earth. If you want to experience authenticity, here's the place.

I got teary-eyed here on our last morning in Paris. The warmest welcome, so many wonderful choices, gluten-free galettes for my sweetie and the most delicious galettes we'd had all week, delicate and crisp, with savory fillings. A cozy, happy place with families and couple, staff spoke English and understood my French. A highlight of our week in this district!!

This is a very good crêperie in a vibrant and fun neighborhood in Paris. The service was extremely quick but the crepes were freshly made and very good. We also had some organic cider which was delicious. They had other organic options for those who are interested. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

Was desperately seeking crepes in Paris and came across this cute restaurant with 2 open outdoor tables and an extensive menu full of options! I decided to keep it simple and go with the lime and sugar crepes. My first choice was mascarpone and strawberry, but it wasn't the season. Will have to come back for them next time in the summer! The crepe itself was the perfect blend of tart and sweet, the texture was perfect, and it was served warm in barely any time at all. Great experience with one of Paris's most famous foods!

Canned mushrooms in a 9.5E crèpe? Are you out of your freaking mind, Lulu from Nantes? I mean do you really think that people are going to come back here after realizing that they're paying top prices for crepes with sub-standard ingredients? I'm sick of new restaurants with cute names and quaint decor in trendy locales that serve up nonsense. They're just taking up great real estate. To put the nail further in the crèpe coffin, my almost 10E crepe was also super bland and mysteriously oily on the inside, as if the canned mushrooms were cooked in a vat of vegetable oil. Yuck!

Service was nice but crepe was mediocre. I feel the street vendors were better especially since they served me a very burnt crepe.

Overpriced and the pancakes were over cooked. It's a cool spot but terrible for breakfast. Which doesn't make any sense since it's a crepe place. Couldn't even order a regular coffee. Try somewhere else.

It's actually a very unique thing to find a hip, charming creperie in Paris. One with a phenomenal location and a really wonderful atmosphere. Most are either tourist traps selling street quality crepes or dark old school bastions that are unpleasantly formal. I was hesitant to try this place because other reviews suggest it's more style over substance. But the food did not disappoint. We did stick with the basic crepes but found them to be as well done as anywhere else in the Francophone world. No hesitation to recommend this spot if you want to enjoy traditional food as opposed to the many Anglo-American cafes popping up around the Canal St Martin.

Lulu is very cute, I'll give them that. The decor is cozy and the servers were kind (albeit completely overwhelmed). The food was subpar. Just looking at the menu, one should be wary. What's the phrase, 'better to do a few things well than a lot of things poorly'? At Lulu's there's too much going on-- there's no need for twenty five crêpes on one menu! But when you're starving and there's a free table on a sunny sunday, sometimes you gotta take the risk. That said, I ordered a galette with salmon, chive, crème fraîche and lemon. The ingredient "lemon" actually means a paper thin slice of lemon often used to garnish a glass and there for too difficult to squeeze the little amount of juice in it on to your food. After asking for more and being served two more paper thin slices, one of which was the end of the lemon and thus had no juice, I went ahead and dove in to my crêpe. And just like that it was over and I was still starving. I ordered my dessert crêpe as my boyfriend ordered his second galette. I had a momentary panic attack thinking about what our bill was going to look like with each crêpe hovering around 9€. Nonetheless, I ordered a sucre-citron crêpe for dessert and I don't know why I didn't learn my lesson the first time but this one also came with a see-through baby slice of lemon. Too hungry to care about flavor any more I finished my crêpe in roughly 4 bites, and we promptly got up to pay the bill. Given it was a busy Sunday, we were very patient with our server but this place was completely understaffed. They were running around like insane people and the cuisine isn't that complicated. As I said, charming little place but not for eating.

These crepes were quite tasty. I got the caramel crepe however, I wish I could have combined caramel and Nutella and it would have been heaven on earth! The plain Nutella crepe seemed to be overpowered by Nutella, but still delicious! A friend of mine got the lime crepe which I thought would be quite strange, but the flavor wasn't too overpowering was actually quite light and delicious. The atmosphere was lovely at this restaurant, we sat outside and took in the beauty that is Paris. Would recommend to someone looking for a nice afternoon snack!

This little creperie is situated at a very busy intersection by the Quai Jemappes but is surrounded by cute little restaurants and shops. The crêpes are excellent. I recommend the crêpe butter sugar lemon or the apple flambé with vanilla ice cream.

I'm just not sure what to think of this place. It is a very quirky and cute place near the canal St. Martin but the food and service are suspect. My lunch was a galette of lardon, potato with an added egg. The think with their galettes is that it is very thin and cooked very crispy, much more than any I have had before. Now, it may be that they are cooking them in a particular style and I'm not saying it was bad, just different. I then ordered a simple crepe of butter and sugar for my sweet tooth. In contrast to their galette, the crepe had a chewiness to it that I, once again, have never experienced before and again, I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it but it was different. Now, the service. Everything was fine until I asked for the check. Once I requested my bill our server became nonexistent. Finally, after 15 minutes and numerous attempts at getting her attention once again, we received our check...which included the side salad The Wife ordered but never arrived. We will not be returning.

Been here on a Sunday afternoon. Not a busy time . Not in love with the service. The servers kept forgetting us when asking for the menu or to order. We got some simple galettes (ham, egg, cheese). The ingredients seem good but i felt that the galette was over cooked and kind of too fat. It's an "ok" place, don't expect perfect food.

So it's Sunday and I don't have reservations for the place next door, but I'm hungry...why not give this place a try? The waiter was nice and I don't speak any french, so that was a plus. There are only a few things I recognized on the menu: andouille and champignon, so that's what I got in my crepe with an egg on top. Overall it was decent. I didn't care for the andouille and the crepe needed salt and pepper, but the edges of my crepe were crunchy and the egg made everything better.

A bit pricey but I guess this is Paris and not Rouen or Brittany. I think the key here is to keep it simple and always get an egg. Egg, jambon, emmantal. Yum. Or chèvre with honey and jambon. Order cider, although that's a bit overpriced too. I've always enjoyed my meals here, ate late last time and got a free shot of calvados. Good for a taste of traditional northern galettes.
