Right before the Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) kicked in, it seemed that everybody and their partners were tucking into French crepes and galettes and posting it all over social media.

Feel like you’ve missed out? No worries. With the gradual easing of dining restrictions kicking in, it is time to ease that FOMO anxiety and have your own go at these French-style pancakes that can be prepared savoury or sweet. Here are eight crêperies to check out in Singapore.

1. Entre-Nous Crêperie

Entre-Nous Crêperie was founded by French partners Stéphane and Geraldine in 2008 who pride themselves on serving these authentic delights with ingredients sourced from Brittany.

Buckwheat galette flavours include Le Quessant (egg, ham, Emmental cheese and mushroom) and Stephan’s Favourite (roasted chicken with wholegrain mustard and caramelised onion) while sweet wheat crepes range from Entre-Nous (homemade salted butter caramel) to choice toppings of homemade ice cream or jam).

If you’re looking to cool down with a drink, get an artisanal apple cider imported from Brittany.
