Breizh Café crêperie in Montmartre

Comptoir Breizh is located at the foot of Montmartre hill, just a short walk from the Wall of I Love You. The 9 rue des Abbesses, near Abbesses metro station, is a great spot for tourists looking to enjoy a Breton crêperie right in the heart of Montmartre, without leaving the neighborhood they came to explore. Translated from Breton, Breizh Café means Café de Bretagne.

Comptoir Breizh: Place des Abbesses

Visitors reserve a table for a delicious meal and enjoy the view over Place des Abbesses. French cuisine is expertly prepared in this restaurant. Try the perfectly cooked galettes to form your own opinion of Breizh Café Abbesses. Foodies claim the crêpes here are delicious. Many visitors order a refreshing cider. You can also enjoy a massive coffee.

You’ll leave with fond memories of this place, known for its excellent service and friendly staff, always ready to help. Most of the time, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.

Why choose Comptoir Breizh?

1. A true Breton break in Montmartre
The main draw is to take a break with two classic Breton dishes: savory buckwheat galette and sweet wheat crêpe. The restaurant uses IGP and organic buckwheat flour from Moulin de la Fatigue in Vitré, stone-ground on-site.

2. Reasonably priced for Montmartre
The current delivery prices give a good sense of the restaurant’s pricing:

“complète” galettes: €9.80
specialty galettes: €11.80
classic crêpes: €6
25 cl cider: €3.

This makes for an affordable crêpe-and-galette meal in the neighborhood.

3. Toppings that go beyond the classic “complète”
You’ll find:

ham, egg, Emmental;
ratatouille and egg;
goat cheese, spinach and tomato;
Breton andouille, onions, Emmental, old-style mustard;
smoked salmon, spinach, trout roe and fresh cheese;
melted cheese, country ham and sautéed apples.

This also lets visitors discover more typically Breton products and flavor pairings, especially the andouille.

4. A great spot for families
Galettes and crêpes make it easy to cater to very different tastes, and the prices are more affordable than in a traditional restaurant. A December 2025 Tripadvisor review even mentions a packed dining room during a family visit and particularly recommends the wheat crêpes.

5. A very convenient spot while visiting Montmartre
This is probably one of its strongest selling points: the restaurant is right across from Abbesses metro station. It can easily be included in a walk that includes Place des Abbesses → Rue des Abbesses → Rue des Trois Frères → Maison Rose → Rue de l'Abreuvoir → Sacré-Cœur.

6. An experience appreciated by international visitors
Reviews mention foreign customers and families, and Tripadvisor highlights positive comments about buckwheat gluten-free crêpes.

Must-try dishes

For a tourist, I would recommend:

Galette: a Brittany andouille, onions, Emmental cheese and old-fashioned mustard — €11.80.
Dessert: a homemade salted butter caramel crêpe — €6.
Drink: a 25 cl Breton cider — €3.

Estimated budget: around €21 per person for these three items.
