Niagara Falls has become our summer getaway for the past two years and ever since we discovered this little gem along the way, Paris Crêpes has been on our minds and in our stomachs!
Tucked away on quiet Queen Street, approximately 15 mins drive away from the Falls, is this Parisian-inspired cafe. The decor is adorable and detailed, from the windows to the walls. There is free parking in the back, or parking in front of the cafe at $1.00/hr.
Jars of spreads for the sweet crepes at the crepe station, where they are made.

(No longer on the menu, and ironically our fav): A sweet crepe – pear filling, chocolate ice cream, chantilly cream
Savoury Crepe – Thalassa: smoked salmon, scallions, capers, salad, caviar, sour cream, cherry tomato, lemon
Savoury Crepe – Parisienne: tomato, goat cheese, garlic mushroom
Sweet Crepe – Niagara Falls: mix berries, peaches, nutella, real vanilla ice cream
Sweet Crepe – Pure Chocolate: dark chocolate shavings and salted butter
Savoury Crepe – La Normande: apple butter, flambée with calvados
Savoury Crepe – Basquaise: egg, cheese, chicken, peppers, tomato, onion
Savoury Crepe – Rocamadour: goat cheese, walnut, honey
Sweet Crepe – Lison: almond and hazelnut praline spread, chantilly, toasted almond
Can’t leave a French restaurant without trying the french onion soup! Yum
The servers speak both English and French, and the restaurant plays lovely French music while you dine by candle light. If this is your first visit then we would recommend a seat in the first half of the restaurant near the front entrance, because it is brighter and closer to the crepe station, with more decorative elements, plus a view of the street. Queen Street itself, however, is quite abandoned and there is nothing else ‘lively’ except for Paris Crepes. Overall the crepes are delicious and well portioned, and the drinks are also well made; we hope to continue our visits for years to come. Now if only they would open one in Toronto :)…
