Candlemas 2026: where to eat a delicious crêpe?

250g of flour, 500ml of milk, 3 whole eggs (without shells), 3 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tbsp of oil (or 20g of melted butter, depending on your mood), a splash of rum, a vanilla bean... and off we go! Whisk, whisk, whisk! 🥣

Well, we won't get into a 15-year-long argument about who has the best recipe.Here is the crème de la crème of places to devour crêpes for Candlemas! 🥞💛

At Alegría, the little Breton girls sway over the pancake maker: never identical, but always to die for 😋

Carole Lesquer, the chef, is half-Breton, half-Spanish, and it shows in her creations: a subtle blend of roots, sweetness, and sunshine. Her motto? "Without fuss, without frills." 🧑🏻‍🍳

Every first Friday of the month, from 7 PM in Luxembourg City, it's Breton crepes and galettes nights. A gourmet break with savory buckwheat galettes and sweet crepes, prepared Breton-style, with that little something extra ✨

The little crunchy info? Carole Lesquer was named “Pastry Chef of the Year” Gault&Millau 2021!

📍Alegría, 19 Rue des Capucins, Ville-Haute Luxembourg - LU

📆 Every first Friday of the month, from 7 PM (The next party will take place on February 6th!)

Just a stone's throw from Place Guillaume, where the old Wanderscheid grocery was located, lies a small gourmet paradise: Café Bora (beware, highly addictive spot).

Bora welcomes you in a cozy place where you can order your crepe to take away or savor it on-site, comfortably settled. A significant bonus: a library to accompany your crepe with a good book, so you can enjoy the moment even longer 📚

And since there's no specific time for Candlemas… Here, crepes are enjoyed at any time! 🥞

Be it savory or sweet, her crepes are simply delicious. And if you want to treat your colleagues, think of the crepe boxes: beautifully prepared, generous, and filled with various toppings. Do not hesitate to contact her to order!

📍Café Bora, 4 Rue du Fossé, Ville-Haute Luxembourg - LU

📆 Open from Monday to Saturday from 8 AM to 8 PM, and on Sunday from 9 AM to 8 PM

Who said gluten-free crepes don’t exist?! 🌿

Meet at Chambelland, the naturally gluten-free French bakery, located at the place des Martyrs.

If you wander around the center of Metz, take a break at Cosy Crêpes & Coffee: here, the crêpe is queen 👑

On the menu, you'll find savory Breton galettes, made with local buckwheat flour, and sweet crepes! You choose your toppings, you savor them... and you leave with a smile (and maybe a bit of whipped cream on your nose) 😄🍦

Alright, we keep talking about crepes, so we're going to take a tiny break (gourmet, of course). The crêpe is the star... but its understudy isn't bad either! So, if you have a little room left, we highly recommend trying their heart-shaped waffle, "grandmother-style", ultra indulgent and ultra melting.

And between us, isn't it a brilliant idea for Valentine's Day?“My love, I offer you my heart”… but with a good amount of sugar, it makes it even more delightful ❤️

📍Cosy Crêpes & Coffee, 6 Rue Fabert, Metz - FR

📆 Open every day from 11 AM to 9 PM and even until 10 PM on Fridays and Saturdays

You've planned a shopping trip to the Designer Outlet Luxembourg in Messancy? 🛍️Then you already know that shopping can be exhausting... and what better than a gourmet break to regain strength between two fittings? 

You're hesitating between two shirts? No stress: take your time and sit down for 5 minutes to enjoy a good crepe! 

At Crêpes & Co in Messancy, you can create your own crepe: a sweet crepe with Nutella, whipped cream, strawberries, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, 🍫🍓🍦 or a savory crepe with ham, cheese, mushrooms, and egg. It's up to you to make your crepe! 😍

📍Crêpes & Co, Rue d'Arlon 199, Messancy - BE (within the  Designer Outlet Luxembourg)

📆 Open Monday to Saturday from 10 AM to 7 PM

For those who don’t have the time but still want to treat themselves, you can order online at MyBrunch.

On the menu: gourmet Kinder Bueno crepe, gourmet red fruit crepe, gourmet chocolate crepe... or even gourmet caramel crepe!

You choose, you get it delivered... and you can even tell Mother-in-law that you made them yourself 😉

Well, otherwise, you can also make them yourself, the crêpes! As we say where I'm from:

"Vous avez de la pâte ? Vous avez du suc' ? Alors avec la pâte, vous faites une crêpe pis vous mettez du suc' dessus !"
