Paris 66 is a nice alternative in a town which has had a shortage of crêperies. Located in Pittsburgh’s East Liberty district, near Kelly’s Bar, they have a nice variety of both savory and sweet crêpes, along with many other choices including sandwiches, soups, and salads. I enjoyed my carrot soup, and my co-diners’ sandwiches and salads all looked great. The prices are reasonable, ranging from $4 for simple sweet crêpes, up to around $9 for some of the more elaborate savory creations.
Paris 66
The crêpes themselves are made with buckwheat flour. I happen to love buckwheat, but if you’re not a fan I could see this being an issue.
There’s outdoor seating available out back.
One more note: I’m basing this on one visit to the place. I have a couple of friends who have had “service issues” with Paris 66 that seem to have resulted in them souring on the place. That didn’t happen to us, but if you have anything to say about it, please sound off in the comment thread.
Laura and I had a lovely experience there for brunch the other weekend.
The service was fine, and every employee we encountered was both very polite and entirely happy to deal with us even though we brought along a somewhat-fussy one month old baby.
I have no complaints and would happily go back; as you mention, the food all looks great.
Note, it’s the *savory* crepes that are buckwheat. The dessert crepes are the more traditional white flour, if I recall correctly.
The service when they opened was a bit hectic and slow as they worked out their kitchen pipeline, but the last time I was back there they seemed to have worked it out.
