More and more cafes are offering crepes in Singapore nowadays. It’s gained popularity and it’s not hard to see why—they are texturally sublime and pair well with many different flavours.
There is something for everyone from sweet crepes to savoury versions, also known as galettes. However, it’s not easy to find good crepes as they require finesse on the stove, despite their simple appearance.
So, we made a list of places that make the softest and most authentic crepes in Singapore that will transport you to France.
The French Fold
Merci Marcel’s creperie makes probably the best crepes in Singapore since opening. Or at least, the most popular—the queues are long. Those soft and mildly crispy crepes are worth it though.
Besides classic French galettes like the No.4‘s combination of Ham, Mushrooms and Comte Cheese, they also serve up some cool sweet crepes. Anyone with a sweet tooth would be enticed by creations like Orange & Dark Chocolate or Manuka Honey & Hojicha.

Mocchi by FUKUSEN
