What to expect
Le Grenier is a relaxed, chalet-style crêperie that’s easy to love for an uncomplicated meal. Galettes and crêpes come out relatively quickly, which makes it a good choice when you don’t want a long dinner.
The menu usually has enough variety for mixed groups (sweet, savoury, and a few heartier options). In winter it can still get busy around typical dinner times, so reserving keeps things simple.
