Marche Ou Crêpe

Great crepes — -particularly the one with egg. A lot cheaper than sitting down at a restaurant and much quicker as well!

We decided to grab crepes on our way out of Quebec yesterday… after reading the reviews, this seemed like the place to try. It was a little difficult finding it initially because of the Festibiere de Quebec but fortunately we were able to find it just inside of Tent 2.
They were very friendly and unfortunately there was only one savory crêpe we were able to try because of the jambon. We had the smoked salmon, with capers and chèvre and it was very good… we don’t even like smoke salmon but will certainly be trying this at home. My daughter got the Nutella (of course) and my son had the strawberries and crème.
The only drawback was that the prices seemed to be adjusted for the festival (10 $ for the savory and 6.50 $ for the sweet).
I think this was my first time having crepes made from buckwheat, but I will definitely be adjusting my recipe at home.

Careful folks. I visited this market during the winter season and Marche Ou Crêpe was no where to be found. Drats.
Other business were on-​site selling things like chocolates, maple syrup, cheeses, and flowers. The businesses are not very big. They’re actually small kiosks (similar in size to something you’d find at an airport).

These are the best crepes in Quebec city! We tried many of the sit down restaurants, including the Petit Château creperie next to Frontenac, but none of them had delicate crepes. For some reason all the touristy restaurants think crepes should be flat, hard and square. This place makes them soft, filled and wraps them around so they’re long rectangles.
When you go, it’s a simple stall in the food market. The people there were very friendly. We waited for the line to die down so we could take our time and check out the menu. We had two savory crepes (highly recommend the vegetarian crêpe – the tomatoes are nicely seasoned and it has asparagus) and two desert crepes, including an ice cream crêpe with lime sherbert and fresh raspberries. Once you get your crepes, we suggest eating outside on the waterfront.
My french is awful but it didn’t matter, the cashier was very nice. In fact all the vendors in the market were nice. We bought some ice wine there as well. It’s a great market to browse for wine because the vendors have tasting bottles opened.

I agree with Brian S — the crepes here are fantastic and you won’t have to wait long in line! I loved the fact that the people who go here seem to be mostly local, not just tourists. You can take in all the farmer’s market goodies and feat on the best this region has to offer.
I’m generally choose sweet over savory, and the maple sugar (Quebecoise) crêpe did not disappoint! Still, I wish I’d tried a few other versions. Come here with a friend or three and share in the goodness :)

Killer crepes, served from a cart with nearby modest seating, perhaps the best in all of Vieux Quebec, nestled away in the corner of the local marketplace. You could blow 3 – 4 times a much on far more mediocre fare in the narrow tourist-​filled streets, or you could venture out a few hundred metres and get a crêpe you will remember forever, served to you by the owner herself. I had La Parisienne, a traditional ham and cheese on a whole wheat crêpe, and the flavors and textures were PERFECT! A delightful find worth venturing out for that will surely make your day, or stay, in Quebec.
